It's okay, it's I'm gonna it anyway
Sometimes I just feel like, quitting I still 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 level of like But I'm still white, sometimes I hate life Something ain't right, hit the lights Case of the stage fright, drawin' a like
Uh, da di da , it my fault big eyeballs, my insides crawl And I clam up, I slam shut I just can't do it, my whole
Just been stripped, I have just ripped So I must then get, off this bus split Man this shit yo, I'm going the fuck home on my shoulders as I run back to this 8 mile road
I'm a man, I'ma make a new Time for me to just stand up, and travel new Time for me to take matters into my own hands Once I'm over these 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 must travel Ain't following no footsteps, I'm my own Only way that I know how to escape from this 8 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 move
And get a new plan, got a new man Poor little baby sister, she don't Sits in front of the T.V, buries her in the pad And just colors until the gets dull in her hand
she colors her big brother, her mother and dad Ain't no tellin' really goes on in her little head Wish I be the daddy that neither one of us had But I keep from something I never wanted so bad!
I get upset, 'cause I ain't blew up yet It's I grew 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 tryin' to do what's best
And I try, sit and I cry Yo I won't tell no lie, not a moment by I don't pray to the sky, please I'm beggin' You, God Please don't let me be holed in no regular job
Yo I you can hear me homey wherever you are Yo I'm tellin' you dawg, I'm bailin' trailer tomorrow Tell my mother I love her, baby sister goodbye Say whenever you me baby I'm never to far
But yo I gotta get out the only way that I know And I'ma be back for you the that I blow On everything I own, make it on my own Off to work I go, to this 8 mile road
I'm a man, gotta a new plan Time for me to just stand up, and travel new Time for me to just take into 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 I'm grown, I must travel alone Ain't following no footsteps, I'm my own Only way that I know how to 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' 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, it's my never seen, heard, smelled, or met a real MC Who's incredible on the pedestal as me
But yet still unsigned, a rough time Sit on the wit all my friends and kick dumb rhymes Go to work and serve 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 another crab in the bucket 'Cause I ain't havin' no luck with little Rabbit so fuck it
Maybe I a new outlet, I'm startin' to doubt shit I'm a little skeptical who I hang out with I look like a bum, yo my clothes ain't about At the salvation army to salvage an outfit
And it's cold to travel this 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 from no one, this is no fun
There is no sun, and it's so Sometimes I feel like I'm just being pulled From each one of my limbs, by each one of my It's enough to just make me wanna out of my skin
Sometimes I like a robot, sometimes I just know not What I'm I just blow, my head is a stove top I just explode, the gets so hot Sometimes my just overloads the gas that I don't got
But I've learned, time for me to U-turn Yo it takes one time for me to get burned Ain't no falling no time I meet a new girl I can no longer play stupid or be
I got every ingredient, all I need is the Like I got the beat, all I need is the words Got the urge, it's a surge a new burst of energy has occurred
Time to show free world leaders I'm three in the third I am no longer scared now, I'm free as a 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, gotta a new plan for me to just stand up, and travel new land Time for me to just matters into my own hands Once I'm over these tracks man never look back
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 Only way that I know how to escape this 8 mile road
