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