It's okay, it's I'm gonna make it
Sometimes I just feel like, I still might Why do I put up this fight, why do I write Sometimes it's enough just dealin' wit real life I wanna jump on stage and just kill mics
And show these people what my of skills like But I'm white, sometimes I just hate life Something ain't right, hit the lights Case of the stage fright, drawin' a blank
Uh, da di da , it my fault Great big eyeballs, my insides And I clam up, I just shut I just do it, my whole manhood's
Just been stripped, I have been ripped So I must then get, off this bus then Man this shit yo, I'm going the fuck home World on my as I run back to this 8 mile road
I'm a man, make a new plan Time for me to just up, and travel new land Time for me to just take matters into my own Once I'm over tracks man I'ma never look back
8 mile road, and I'm gone, I right where I'm going Sorry mama I'm grown, I travel alone Ain't no footsteps, I'm making my own Only way that I know how to escape this 8 mile road
I'm walking these train tracks, to regain back The spirit I had fore I go back to the same To the plant, in the same pants Tryin' to chase rap, gotta ASAP
And get a new plan, got a new man Poor baby sister, she don't understand in front of the T.V, buries her nose in the pad And just colors until the crayon dull in her hand
she colors her big brother, her mother and dad Ain't no tellin' what goes on in her little head I could be the daddy that neither one of us had But I keep runnin' from something I never so bad!
Sometimes I get upset, I ain't blew up yet It's like I up, but I ain't grow me two nuts yet Don't got a rep my step, don't got pep The pressures too much man, I'm just to do what's best
And I try, sit and I cry Yo I tell no lie, not a moment goes by That I don't pray to the sky, please I'm You, God Please don't let me be pigeon holed in no job
Yo I hope you can hear me homey you are Yo I'm you dawg, I'm bailin' this trailer tomorrow Tell my mother I love her, kiss baby sister Say you need me baby I'm never to far
But yo I gotta get out the only way that I know And be back for you the second that I blow On I own, I'll make it on my own Off to work I go, back to this 8 road
I'm a man, gotta make a new for me to just stand up, and travel new land Time for me to just take matters into my own Once I'm over these tracks man I'ma never look
8 mile road, and I'm gone, I know right where I'm mama I'm grown, I must travel alone Ain't following no footsteps, I'm my own way that I know how to escape from this 8 mile road
You gotta it to feel it, you didn't you wouldn't get it Or see what the big is, why it wasn't it still is To be walkin' this boarder line of Detroit limits It's different, it's a certain significance, a
Of authenticity, never even seen But it's everthing to me, it's my never seen, heard, smelled, or met a real MC Who's incredible on the same as me
But yet still unsigned, having a rough Sit on the porch wit all my friends and kick dumb Go to work and serve MC's in the line But when it comes crunch time, do my punchlines go?
Who must I to bust my flow? Where must I go, who must I Or am I just another crab in the 'Cause I ain't havin' no luck with little Rabbit so fuck it
Maybe I need a new outlet, I'm startin' to shit I'm a little skeptical who I hang out with I look like a bum, yo my clothes about shit At the salvation army tryin' to an outfit
And it's cold tryin' to travel this Plus I feel like I'm always stuck in this battlin' My are so up, and one thing I don't want Is pity from no one, city is no fun
There is no sun, and so dark Sometimes I feel I'm just being pulled apart From each one of my limbs, by one of my friends It's enough to just me wanna jump out of my skin
Sometimes I like a robot, sometimes I just know not What I'm doin' I blow, my head is a stove top I just explode, the kettle so hot my mouth just overloads the gas that I don't got
But I've learned, it's for me to U-turn Yo it takes one time for me to get burned Ain't no no next time I meet a new girl I can no longer play or be immature
I got every ingredient, all I need is the Like I already got the beat, all I need is the Got the urge, suddenly it's a Suddenly a new of energy has occurred
Time to show these free world leaders I'm in the third I am no scared now, I'm free as a bird Then I turn and over the median curb Hit the and all you see is a blur from 8 mile road
I'm a man, make a new plan Time for me to stand up, and travel new land Time for me to just take into my own hands Once I'm over these man I'ma never look back
8 road, and I'm gone, I know right where I'm going Sorry mama I'm grown, I must travel Ain't no footsteps, I'm making my own Only way I know how to escape from this 8 mile road
