8 Mile

Intro: ~~~   (2x) {Eminem}   Sometimes I just feel like quittin I still might   Why do I put up this fight why do I still write   Sometimes it’s hard enough just dealin with real life   Sometimes I wanna jump on stage and just kill mics   And show these people what my level of skill’s like   But I’m still white sometimes I just hate life   Somethin ain’t right hit the brake lights   Case of the stage fright drawin a blank like   Da-duh-duh-da-da it ain’t my fault   Great then I falls my insides crawl   and I clam up {*wham*} I just slam shut   I just can’t do it my whole manhood’s   just been stripped I have just been vicked   So I must then get off the bus then slip   Man fuck this shit yo I’m goin the fuck home   World on my shoulders as I run back to this 8 Mile Road   {Chorus}   I’m a man I’ma make a new plan   Time for me to just stand up and travel new land   Time to really just take matters into my own hands   Once I’m over these tracks man I’ma never look back   (8 Mile Road) And I’m gone I know right where I’m goin   Sorry momma I’m grown I must travel alone   And go follow the footsteps I’m makin my own   Only way that I know how to escape from this 8 Mile Road   {Eminem}   I’m walkin these train tracks tryin to regain back   the spirit I had ’fore I go back to the same crap   To the same plant  and the same pants Tryin to chase rap gotta move ASAP   And get a new plan momma’s got a new man   Poor little baby sister she don’t understand   Sits in front of the TV buries her nose in the pad   And just colors until the crayon gets dull in her hand   While she colors her big brother and mother and dad   Ain’t no tellin what really goes on in her little head   Wish I could be the daddy that neither one of us had   But I keep runnin from somethin I never wanted so bad!   Sometimes I get upset cause I ain’t blew up yet   It’s like I grew up but I ain’t grow me two nuts yet   Don’t gotta rep my step don’t got enough pep   The pressure’s too much man I’m just tryin to do what’s best   And I try sit alone and I cry   Yo I won’t tell no lie not a moment goes by   That I don’t pray to the sky please I’m beggin you God   Please don’t let me be bitchin holdin no regular job   Yo I hope you can hear me homey wherever you are   Yo I’m tellin you dawg I’m bailin this trailer tomorrow   Tell my mother I love her kiss baby sister goodbye   Say whenever you need me baby I’m never too far   But yo I gotta get out there the only way I know   And I’ma be back for you the second that I blow   On everything I own I’ll make it on my own   Off to work I go back to this 8 Mile Road   {Chorus}   I’m a man I’ma make a new plan   Time for me to just stand up and travel new land   Time to really just take matters into my own hands   Once I’m over these tracks man I’ma never look back   (8 Mile Road) And I’m gone I know right where I’m goin   Sorry momma I’m grown I must travel alone   And go follow the footsteps I’m makin my own   Only way that I know how to escape from this 8 Mile Road   {Eminem}   You gotta live it to feel it you didn’t you wouldn’t get it   Or see what the big deal is why it wasn’t the skillest   To be walkin this borderline of Detroit city limits   It’s different it’s a certain significance a certificate   of authenticity you’d never even see   But it’s everything to me it’s my credibility   You never seen heard smelled or met a real MC   who’s incredible upon the same pedestal as me   But yet I’m still unsigned havin a rough time   Sit on the porch with all my friends and kick dumb rhymes   Go to work and serve MC’s in the lunchline   But when it comes crunch time where do my punchlines go   Who must I show to bust my flow   Where must I go who must I know   Or am I just another crab in the bucket   Cause I ain’t havin no luck with this little Rabbit so fuck it   Maybe I need a new outlet I’m startin to doubt shit   I’m feelin a little skeptical who I hang out with   I look like a bum yo my clothes ain’t about shit   if the Salvation Army tryin to salvage an outfit   And it’s cold tryin to travel this road   Plus I feel like I’m on stuck in this battlin mode   My defenses are so up but one thing I don’t want   is pity from no one the city is no fun   There is no sun and it’s so dark   Sometimes I feel like I’m just bein pulled apart   I’m torn in my limbs by each one of my friends   It’s enough to make me just wanna jump out of my skin   Sometimes I feel like a robot sometimes I just know not   what I’m doin I just blow my head is a stove top   I just explode the kettle gets so hot   Sometimes my mouth just overloads the ass that I don’t got   But I’ve learned it’s time for me to U-turn   Yo it only takes one time for me to get burned   Ain’t no fallin no next time I meet a new girl   I can no longer play stupid or be immature   I got every ingredient all I need is the courage   Like I already got the beat all I need is the words   Got the urge suddenly it’s a surge   Suddenly a new burst of energy is occured   Time to show these free world leaders the three and a third   I am no longer scared now I’m free as a bird   Then I turn and cross over the median curb   Hit the verbs and all you see is a blur from 8 Mile Road   {Chorus}   I’m a man I’ma make a new plan   Time for me to just stand up and travel new land   Time to really just take matters into my own hands   Once I’m over these tracks man I’ma never look back   (8 Mile Road) And I’m gone I know right where I’m goin   Sorry momma I’m grown I must travel alone   And go follow the footsteps I’m makin my own   Only way that I know how to escape from this 8 Mile Road
