It's okay, it's I'm make it anyway
Sometimes I just feel like, quitting I might Why do I put up this fight, why do I still Sometimes it's hard enough just wit real life Sometimes I wanna jump on and just kill mics
And show these people what my level of like But I'm still white, sometimes I hate life ain't right, hit the brake lights Case of the fright, drawin' a blank like
Uh, da di da , it ain't my Great big eyeballs, my crawl And I clam up, I slam shut I can't do it, my whole manhood's
Just been stripped, I have just ripped So I must get, off this bus then split Man fuck 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 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 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, to regain back The spirit I had fore I go back to the crap To the same plant, in the same Tryin' to chase rap, gotta ASAP
And get a new plan, got a new man Poor little baby sister, she understand Sits in front of the T.V, her nose in the pad And just colors until the gets dull in her hand
While she her big brother, her mother and dad Ain't no tellin' what really on in her little head Wish I be the daddy that neither one of us had But I runnin' from something I never wanted so bad!
Sometimes I get upset, 'cause I ain't up yet It's like I grew up, but I ain't me two nuts yet got a rep my step, don't got enough pep The too much 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 pray to the sky, please I'm beggin' You, God Please don't let me be pigeon in no regular job
Yo I hope you can hear me homey you are Yo I'm tellin' you dawg, I'm bailin' this trailer Tell my mother I love her, kiss sister goodbye Say whenever you need me baby I'm to far
But yo I gotta get out there the only way I know And I'ma be back for you the second that I On everything I own, I'll it on my own Off to I go, back to this 8 mile road
I'm a man, gotta make a new Time for me to just stand up, and new land Time for me to just take into my own hands Once I'm over these tracks man I'ma never back
8 mile road, and I'm gone, I right where I'm going Sorry I'm grown, I must travel alone Ain't no footsteps, I'm making my own Only way that I know how to escape this 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 this boarder line of Detroit city limits It's different, it's a certain significance, a
Of authenticity, you've never seen But it's everthing to me, it's my never seen, heard, smelled, or met a real MC Who's on the same pedestal as me
But yet still unsigned, having a time Sit on the wit all my friends and kick dumb rhymes Go to work and serve MC's in the line But when it comes crunch time, where do my go?
Who must I show to bust my Where must I go, who must I Or am I just crab in the bucket 'Cause I ain't havin' no luck with this little so fuck it
Maybe I need a new outlet, I'm 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 army tryin' to salvage an outfit
And it's cold tryin' to this road Plus I feel I'm always stuck in this battlin' 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 like I'm just being pulled apart each one of my limbs, by each one of my friends It's enough to just make me jump out of my skin
Sometimes I feel like a robot, I just know not What I'm I just blow, my head is a stove top I just explode, the gets so hot my mouth just overloads the gas that I don't got
But I've learned, it's time for me to Yo it only one time for me to get burned Ain't no no next time I meet a new girl I can no longer play or be immature
I got ingredient, all I need is the courage Like I already got the beat, all I is the words Got the urge, suddenly a surge a new burst 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 and all you see is a blur from 8 mile road
I'm a man, gotta make a new Time for me to just stand up, and new land Time for me to just take matters into my own I'm over these tracks man I'ma never look back
8 mile road, and I'm gone, I right where I'm going 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 from 8 mile road
