It's okay, it's I'm gonna it anyway
Sometimes I feel like, quitting I still might Why do I put up this fight, why do I still Sometimes hard enough just dealin' wit real life Sometimes I wanna on stage and just kill mics
And these people what my level of skills like But I'm still white, I just hate life Something ain't right, hit the brake Case of the stage fright, a blank like
Uh, da di da , it my fault Great big eyeballs, my crawl And I clam up, I just shut I just do it, my whole manhood's
Just been stripped, I have just ripped So I then get, off this bus then split Man this shit yo, I'm going the fuck home World on my shoulders as I run back to this 8 mile
I'm a man, I'ma make a new Time for me to 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 look back
8 road, and I'm gone, I know right where I'm going Sorry I'm grown, I must travel alone following no footsteps, I'm making my own Only way that I know how to escape from this 8 mile
I'm walking these train tracks, tryin' to back The spirit I had fore I go back to the same To the same plant, in the same to chase rap, gotta move ASAP
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 until the crayon gets dull in her hand
she colors her big brother, her mother and dad Ain't no tellin' what really goes on in her little 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, 'cause I ain't up yet like 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 man, I'm just tryin' to do what's best
And I try, sit and I cry Yo I won't tell no lie, not a moment by That I pray to the sky, please I'm beggin' You, God Please let me be pigeon holed in no regular job
Yo I hope you can hear me wherever you are Yo I'm tellin' you dawg, I'm bailin' trailer tomorrow Tell my I love her, kiss baby sister goodbye Say whenever you me baby I'm never to far
But yo I gotta get out there the only way I know And I'ma be for you the second that I blow On I own, I'll make it on my own Off to work I go, back to 8 mile road
I'm a man, gotta a new plan Time for me to just up, and travel new land Time for me to just matters into my own hands Once I'm over these tracks man I'ma 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 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 the big deal is, why it wasn't it still is To be walkin' this boarder line of Detroit city It's different, it's a certain significance, a
Of authenticity, you've never seen But it's to me, it's my credibility You've seen, heard, smelled, or met a real MC Who's incredible on the same as me
But yet still unsigned, having a time Sit on the porch wit all my and kick dumb rhymes Go to work and serve in the lunch line But it comes crunch time, where do my punchlines go?
Who must I show to my flow? Where I go, who must I know? Or am I another crab in the bucket 'Cause I ain't havin' no luck with this 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 like a bum, yo my clothes ain't about shit At the salvation army to salvage an outfit
And cold tryin' to travel this road I feel like I'm always stuck in this battlin' mode My defenses are so up, and one I don't want Is pity no one, this city is no fun
There is no sun, and so dark 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 me wanna jump out of my skin
I feel like a robot, sometimes I just know not What I'm doin' I just blow, my head is a top I just explode, the gets so hot Sometimes my just overloads the gas that I don't got
But learned, it's time for me to U-turn Yo it takes one time for me to get burned no falling no next time I meet a new girl I can no longer stupid or be immature
I got ingredient, all I need is the courage Like I got the beat, all I need is the words Got the urge, it's a surge Suddenly a new of energy has occurred
Time to these free world leaders I'm three in the third I am no longer scared now, I'm as a bird I turn and cross over the median curb Hit the burbs and all you see is a blur 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 take matters into my own hands 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 I'm grown, I must travel alone following no footsteps, I'm making my own Only way I know how to escape from this 8 mile road
