8 Mile Lyrics
8 Mile Road Lyrics
(It's okay, it's okay. I'm gonna make it anyway.) Sometimes I just feel
like Quittin I still might Why do I put up this fight? Why do I still
write? Sometimes it's hard enough steal from the real life Sometimes I
wanna jump on stage and just kill mics And show these people what my level of
skill's like But I'm still white Sometimes I just hate life Somethin
ain't right Hit the breaklights In case of the stage fright Draw on the
blank light (Uhh, But if I fall, It ain't my fault, Breakin eyeballs, My
insides crawl) And I clam up (SMASH!) I just slam shut I just can't do
it My whole manhood's just been stripped I've just been ripped So I
must been dipped Or the bustin split Man fuck this shit yo I'm goin the
fuck home Rollin my shoulders as I run back to this 8 Mile
Rd.
(Chorus) I'm a man I'ma make a new plan Time for me to stand
up and travel new land Time for me to just to take matters into my own
hands Once I'm over these tracks man I'ma never look back (8 Mile
Rd.) And I'm gone I don't like where I'm goin Sorry mama I've
grown I must travel alone Ain't no followin no footsteps I'm makin my
own Only way I know how to escape from this 8 Mile Rd.
Walkin these
traintracks Tryin to regain back the spirit I have 'Fore I go back to the
same crap (SMASH!) To the same plant And the same pants Tryin to chase
rap Gotta move A.S.A.P. Get a new plan Mama's got a new man Poor
little baby sister She don't understand Sits in front of the TV, bury's
her nose in the pad And just colors until the crayon gets dull in her
hand While she colors her big brother, her mother, and dad Ain't no tellin
what really goes on in her little head Wish I could be the daddy that neither
one of us had But I keep runnin from somethin I never wanted so
bad Sometimes I get upset Cuz I ain't blew up yet It's like I grew up,
but I aint grownin two nuts yet Don't gotta rap my step Don't got enough
pep The pressure's too much man I'm just tryin to do what's best And I
try Sit alone and I cry Yo I won't tell a lie Not a moment goes
by That I don't pray to the sky Please I'm beggin you God Please don't
let me be pigeon holdin on regular job Yo I hope you can hear me
hommie Wherever you are Yo I'm tellin you dog I'm bailin this trailor
tomorrow Tell my mother I love her Kiss baby sister goodbye Say
whenever you need me baby I'm never too far But yo, I gotta get out
there The only way I know And I'ma do that for you On the second that I
blow On everything I own I'll make it on my own Off to work I
go Back to this 8 Mile Rd.
(Chorus)
Ya gotta live it to feel
it If you didn't you wouldn't get it We'll see what the big deal is Why
it wasn't, it still is To be walkin this border line of Detroit city's
limit It's different, it's a certain significant certificate of
authenticity You'd never even see But it's everything to me It's my
credibility You've never seen, heard, smell, or met an MC Who's incredible
and on the same pedistool as me But check Still unsigned Havin a rough
time Sit on the porch with all my friend's who kick dumb rhymes Go to
work And servin MC's in the lunch line But when it come's crunch
time Where do my punch lines go? Who must I show? To bust my
flow? Where must I go? Who must I know? Or am I just another crab in
the bucket Cuz I ain't havin no luck with this little rabbit so fuck
it Maybe I need a new outlit I'm startin to doubt shit I'm feelin a
little scepticle Of who I hang out with I look like a bum Yo my clothes
ain't about shit At the Salvation Army Tryin to salvage and outfit And
it's cold Tryin to travel this road Plus I feel like I'm only stuck in
this battlin mode My defenses are so up And one thing I don't want Is
pity from no one The city is no fun There is no sun And it's so
dark Sometimes I feel like I'm just being pulled apart Being torn in my
limbs By each one of my friends Enough to just make me wanna jump outta my
skin Sometimes I feel like a robot Sometimes I just know not what I'm
doin I just blow My head is a stove top I just explode The kettle
gets so hot Sometimes my mouth just overloads the acid I don't got But
I've learned It's time for me to U-Turn Yo it only takes one time for me
to get burnt Ain't no fallin No next time Imeet a new girl I can no
longer play stupid Or be immature I've got every ingredient All I need
is the courage Like I already got to beat All I need is the words Got
the urge Suddenly its a search Suddenly a new verse of energy has
occured Time to show these free world leaders Three in the third I am
no longer scared now I'm free as a bird And I turn and cross over The
median curb Hit the burbs and all you see is a blur on 8 mile
rd.
(Chorus)
