It's okay, it's I'm gonna it anyway
Sometimes I feel like, quitting I still might Why do I put up fight, why do I still write Sometimes it's enough just dealin' wit real life Sometimes I jump on stage and just kill mics
And show people what my level of skills like But I'm still white, sometimes I hate life Something ain't right, hit the brake of the stage fright, drawin' a blank like
Uh, da di da , it my fault Great big eyeballs, my insides And I clam up, I slam shut I just can't do it, my 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 make a new Time for me to just up, and travel new land Time for me to just take matters my own hands Once I'm over these 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 must travel Ain't no footsteps, I'm making my own Only way that I how to escape from this 8 mile road
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 little baby sister, she don't understand Sits in front of the T.V, buries her in the pad And just until 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 little Wish I be the daddy that neither one of us had But I keep runnin' something I never wanted 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 goes by That I don't 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 I love her, kiss baby sister goodbye Say whenever you need me 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 I own, I'll make it on my own Off to work I go, back to this 8 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 into my own hands Once I'm these tracks man I'ma never look back
8 road, and I'm gone, I know 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 escape from this 8 road
You gotta live it to it, you didn't you wouldn't get it Or see what the big deal is, why it wasn't it is To be this boarder line of Detroit city limits It's different, a certain significance, a certificate
Of authenticity, you've even seen But it's to me, it's my credibility You've never seen, heard, smelled, or met a MC Who's incredible on the pedestal 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 when it comes time, where do my punchlines go?
Who must I to bust my flow? Where must I go, who I know? Or am I just 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 feelin' a little skeptical who I hang out I look like a bum, yo my clothes ain't about At the salvation tryin' to salvage an outfit
And cold tryin' to travel this road Plus I feel like I'm always stuck in this mode My defenses are so up, and one thing I don't Is pity from no one, city is no fun
is no sun, and it's so dark Sometimes I feel I'm just being pulled apart From one of my limbs, by each one of my friends enough to just make me wanna jump out of my skin
Sometimes I feel like a robot, sometimes I know not What I'm I just blow, my head 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, it's for me to U-turn Yo it only takes one for me to get burned Ain't no falling no next time I a new girl I can no longer play stupid or be
I got ingredient, all I need is the courage Like I already got the beat, all I need is the Got the urge, suddenly a surge Suddenly a new of energy has occurred
Time to show these free world I'm three in the third I am no longer scared now, I'm free as a Then I turn and cross over the 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 take matters my own hands Once I'm these 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 must travel following no footsteps, I'm making my own Only way that I know how to escape from 8 mile road
