8 Mile: Eight Mile - The Studio Sound Ensemble[00:00:00]
Written by:Rap Urban Boys[00:00:14]
Sometimes I just feel like quittin' I still might[00:00:29]
Why do I put up this fight why do I still write[00:00:32]
Sometimes it's hard enough just dealin' with real life[00:00:34]
Sometimes I wanna jump on stage and just kill mics[00:00:37]
And show these people what my level of skill's like[00:00:40]
But I'm still white sometimes I just hate life[00:00:42]
Something ain't right hit the brake lights[00:00:45]
Case of the stage fright drawing a blank like[00:00:48]
Da duh duh da da it ain't my fault[00:00:51]
Great big eyeballs my insides crawl[00:00:54]
And I clam up wham I just slam shut[00:00:56]
I just can't do it my whole manhood's[00:00:59]
Just been stripped I have just been viced[00:01:01]
So I must then get off the bus then split[00:01:04]
Man f**k this sh*t yo I'm goin' the f**k home[00:01:06]
World on my shoulders as I run back to this 8 mile road[00:01:09]
I'm a man I'm ma make a new plan[00:01:12]
Time for me to just stand up and travel new land[00:01:14]
Time to really just take matters into my own hands[00:01:17]
Once I'm over these tracks man I'm ma never look[00:01:19]
And I'm gone I know right where I'm going[00:01:22]
Sorry momma I'm grown I must travel alone[00:01:25]
Ain't gon' follow the footsteps I'm makin' my own[00:01:27]
Only way that I know how to escape from this 8 mile road[00:01:30]
I'm walkin' these train tracks tryin' to regain back[00:01:33]
The spirit I had' fore I go back to the same crap[00:01:36]
To the same plant and the same pants[00:01:39]
Tryin' to chase rap gotta move asap[00:01:41]
And get a new plan momma's got a new man[00:01:44]
Poor little baby sister she don't understand[00:01:46]
Sits in front of the TV buries her nose in the pad[00:01:49]
And just colors until the crayon gets dull in her hand[00:01:51]
While she colors her big brother and mother and dad[00:01:54]
Ain't no tellin' what really goes on in her little head[00:01:57]
Wish I could be the daddy that neither one of us had[00:01:59]
But I keep runnin' from somethin' I never wanted so bad[00:02:02]
Sometimes I get upset cause I ain't blew up yet[00:02:05]
It's like I grew up but I ain't grow me two nuts yet[00:02:08]
Don't gotta rep my step don't got enough pep[00:02:11]
The pressure's too much man I'm just tryin' to do what's best[00:02:13]
And I try sit alone and I cry[00:02:16]
Yo I won't tell no lie not a moment goes by[00:02:18]
That I don't pray to the sky please I'm beggin' you god[00:02:21]
Please don't let me be pigeonholed in no regular job[00:02:24]
Yo I hope you can hear me homey wherever you are[00:02:26]
Yo I'm tellin' you Dawn I'm bailin' this trailer tomorrow[00:02:29]
Tell my mother I love her kiss baby sister goodbye[00:02:31]
Say whenever you need me baby I'm never too far[00:02:34]
But yo I gotta get out there the only way I know[00:02:37]
And I'm ma be back for you the second that I blow[00:02:40]
On everything I own I'll make it on my own[00:02:42]
Off to work I go back to this 8 mile road[00:02:45]
I'm a man I'm ma make a new plan[00:02:48]
Time for me to just stand up and travel new land[00:02:50]
Time to really just take matters into my own hands[00:02:53]
Once I'm over these tracks man I'm ma never look back[00:02:56]
And I'm gone[00:02:58]
I know right where I'm going sorry momma I'm grown[00:02:59]
I must travel alone[00:03:02]
Ain't gon' follow the footsteps I'm makin' my own[00:03:03]
Only way that I know how to escape from this 8 mile road[00:03:06]
You gotta live it to feel it you didn't you wouldn't get it[00:03:09]
Or see what the big deal is why it was and it still is[00:03:12]
To be walking this borderline of Detroit city limits[00:03:15]
It's different it's a certain significance a certificate[00:03:17]
Of authenticity you'd never even see[00:03:19]
But it's everything to me it's my credibility[00:03:22]
You never seen heard smelled or met a real MC[00:03:25]
Who's incredible upon the same pedestal as me[00:03:28]
But yet I'm still unsigned havin' a rough time[00:03:30]
Sit on the porch with all my friends and kick dumb rhymes[00:03:33]
Go to work and serve MC in the lunch line[00:03:36]
But when it comes crunch time where do my punchlines go[00:03:38]
Who must I show to bust my flow[00:03:41]
Where must I go who must I know[00:03:44]
Or am I just another crab in the bucket[00:03:47]
Cause I ain't having no luck with this little rabbit foot so f** k it[00:03:49]
Maybe I need a new outlet I'm starting to doubt sh*t[00:03:52]
I'm feeling a little skeptical who I hang out with[00:03:54]
I look like a bum yo my clothes ain't about sh*t[00:03:57]
At the salvation army trying to salvage an outfit[00:04:00]
And it's cold trying to travel this road[00:04:02]
Plus I feel like I'm on stuck in this battling mode[00:04:05]
My defenses are so up but one thing I don't want[00:04:07]
Is pity from no one the city is no fun[00:04:10]
There is no sun and it's so dark[00:04:13]
Sometimes I feel like I'm just being pulled apart[00:04:16]
From each one of my limbs by each one of my friends[00:04:18]
It's enough to just make me wanna jump out of my skin[00:04:21]
Sometimes I feel like a robot sometimes I just know not[00:04:24]
What I'm doing I just blow my head is a stove top[00:04:26]
I just explode the kettle gets so hot[00:04:29]
Sometimes my mouth just overloads the a** that I don't got[00:04:32]
But I've learned it's time for me to u turn[00:04:35]
Yo it only takes one time for me to get burned[00:04:37]
Ain't no falling no next time I meet a new girl[00:04:39]
I can no longer play stupid or be immature[00:04:42]
I got every ingredient all I need is the courage[00:04:45]
Like I already got the beat all I need is the words[00:04:48]
Got the urge suddenly it's a surge[00:04:50]
Suddenly a new burst of energy has occurred[00:04:53]
Time to show these free world leaders the 3 and a third[00:04:56]
I am no longer scared now I'm free as a bird[00:04:58]
Then I turn and cross over the median curb[00:05:01]
Hit the' burbs and all you see is a blur from 8 mile road[00:05:03]
I'm a man I'm ma make a new plan[00:05:07]
Time for me to just stand up and travel new land[00:05:09]
Time to really just take matters into my own hands[00:05:11]
Once I'm over these tracks man I'm ma never look back[00:05:14]
And I'm gone I know right where I'm going[00:05:17]
Sorry momma I'm grown I must travel alone[00:05:20]
Ain't gong follow the footsteps I'm making my own[00:05:22]
Only way that I know how to escape from this 8 mile road[00:05:25]
