It's okay, it's I'm gonna it anyway
Sometimes I just feel like, I still might Why do I put up this fight, why do I write Sometimes it's hard just dealin' wit real life Sometimes I wanna jump on and just kill mics
And show these people my level of skills like But I'm still white, sometimes I just life ain't right, hit the brake lights Case of the fright, drawin' a blank like
Uh, da di da , it ain't my big eyeballs, my insides crawl And I clam up, I just slam I just do it, my whole manhood's
been stripped, I have just been ripped So I must then get, off this bus then Man fuck this shit yo, I'm going the fuck on my shoulders as I run back 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 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 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 how to escape from this 8 mile road
I'm walking these tracks, tryin' 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, move ASAP
And get a new plan, got a new man Poor little baby sister, she understand Sits in front of the T.V, buries her in the pad And just colors the crayon gets dull in her hand
While she colors her big brother, her and dad Ain't no tellin' what really goes on in her head Wish I could be the daddy that one of us had But I runnin' from something I never wanted so bad!
I get upset, 'cause I ain't blew up yet It's like I grew up, but I ain't grow me two yet Don't got a rep my step, got enough pep The pressures too much man, I'm tryin' to do what's best
And I try, sit and I cry Yo I tell no lie, not a moment goes by I don't pray to the sky, please I'm beggin' You, God Please 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 bailin' this trailer my mother I love her, kiss baby sister goodbye Say you need me baby I'm never to far
But yo I get out there the only way that 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 this 8 mile
I'm a man, gotta a new plan 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 look back
8 mile road, and I'm gone, I know right 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 from 8 mile road
You gotta live it to feel it, you you wouldn't get it Or see what the big is, why it wasn't it still is To be walkin' this boarder of Detroit city limits It's different, a certain significance, a certificate
Of authenticity, you've never even But it's everthing to me, my credibility never seen, heard, smelled, or met a real MC Who's incredible on the same as me
But yet unsigned, having a rough time Sit on the porch wit all my friends and dumb rhymes Go to work and serve MC's in the lunch But when it comes time, where do my punchlines go?
Who must I show to my flow? Where I go, who must I know? Or am I just crab in the bucket 'Cause I ain't havin' no luck this little Rabbit so fuck it
Maybe I a new outlet, I'm startin' to doubt shit I'm feelin' a skeptical who I hang out with I look like a bum, yo my clothes ain't shit At the salvation army tryin' to an outfit
And it's cold tryin' to this road Plus I feel like I'm always stuck in battlin' mode My defenses are so up, and one thing I don't Is pity no one, this city is no fun
is no sun, and it's so dark Sometimes I feel like I'm just being pulled From each one of my limbs, by each one of my enough to just make me wanna jump out of my skin
Sometimes I feel like a robot, sometimes I know not What I'm doin' I just blow, my is a stove top I just explode, the gets so hot Sometimes my mouth just the gas that I don't got
But I've learned, time for me to U-turn Yo it only takes one time for me to get Ain't no falling no next time I meet a new I can no play stupid or be immature
I got every ingredient, all I is the courage Like I got the beat, all I need 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 longer now, I'm free as a bird Then I and cross over the median curb Hit the burbs and all you see is a blur 8 mile road
I'm a man, gotta make a new Time for me to stand up, and travel new land 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 where I'm going Sorry mama I'm grown, I must travel Ain't no footsteps, I'm making my own way that I know how to escape from this 8 mile road
