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 it's hard enough just dealin' wit life Sometimes I wanna jump on stage and kill mics
And show these people what my level of like But I'm still white, sometimes I just hate Something ain't right, hit the brake 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 just shut I just can't do it, my manhood's
Just been stripped, I just been ripped So I must then get, off this bus split Man fuck this shit yo, I'm the fuck home World on my shoulders as I run to this 8 mile road
I'm a man, I'ma make a new Time for me to stand up, and travel new land Time for me to just 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 I'm going mama 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 train tracks, tryin' to back The I had fore I go back to the same crap To the same plant, in the pants Tryin' to rap, gotta move ASAP
And get a new plan, got a new man Poor little baby sister, she understand Sits in of the T.V, buries her nose in the pad And just colors until the crayon gets dull in her
she colors her big brother, her mother and dad Ain't no tellin' really goes on in her little head I could be the daddy that neither one of us had But I keep runnin' from 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 got a rep my step, don't got enough pep The pressures too much man, I'm just 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 pray to the sky, please I'm 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 this trailer tomorrow Tell my I love her, kiss baby sister goodbye Say whenever you need me baby I'm to far
But yo I get out there the only way that I know And be back for you the second that I blow On everything I own, make it on my own Off to work I go, back to this 8 road
I'm a man, gotta make a new Time for me to just stand up, and travel new 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 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
You gotta live it to 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 city limits It's different, a certain significance, a certificate
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 incredible on the same as me
But yet still unsigned, a rough time Sit on the porch wit all my friends and kick rhymes Go to and serve MC's in the lunch line But when it crunch time, where do my punchlines go?
Who I show to bust my flow? Where must I go, who I know? Or am I just another 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 who I hang out with I look like a bum, yo my clothes about shit At the salvation tryin' to salvage an outfit
And it's cold tryin' to this road I feel like I'm always stuck in this battlin' mode My defenses are so up, and one thing I don't Is from no one, this city is no fun
There is no sun, and so dark Sometimes I like I'm just being pulled apart From one of my limbs, by each one of my friends It's enough to just make me wanna jump out of my
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 kettle 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 only one time for me to get burned Ain't no falling no next time I meet a new I can no longer play stupid or be
I got every ingredient, all I is the courage I already got the beat, all I need is the words Got the urge, suddenly a surge Suddenly a new of energy has occurred
to show 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 from 8 mile 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 matters into my own Once I'm over tracks man I'ma never look back
8 mile road, and I'm gone, I know right I'm going Sorry mama I'm grown, I must travel following no footsteps, I'm making my own Only way I know how to escape from this 8 mile road
