eminem - 8 mile[00:00:03]
sometimes i just feel like, quitting i still might[00:00:28]
why do i put upthis fight, why do i still write[00:00:31]
sometimes it's hard enough just dealin wit real life[00:00:33]
sometimes i wanna jump on stage and just kill mics[00:00:36]
and show these people what my level of skills like[00:00:39]
but i'm still white, sometimes i just hate life[00:00:41]
something ain't right, hit the brake lights[00:00:44]
case of the stage fright, drawin a blank light[00:00:47]
da-duh-duh-da-da, it ain't my fault[00:00:50]
great big eyeballs, my insides crawl[00:00:53]
and i clam up, i just slam shut[00:00:55]
i just can't do it, my whole manhoods[00:00:57]
just been stripped, i have just been vicked[00:01:00]
so i must then get, off this bus then split[00:01:03]
man f**k this shit yo, i'm going the f**k home[00:01:05]
world on my shoulders as i run back to this 8 mile road[00:01:08]
i'm a man, i'ma make a new plan[00:01:12]
time for me to just stand up, and travel new land[00:01:13]
time for me to just take matters into my own hands[00:01:16]
once i'm over these tracks man i'ma never look back[00:01:18]
(8 mile road) and i'm gone, i know right where i'm going[00:01:21]
sorry mama i'm grown, i must travel alone[00:01:24]
ain't gunna follow these footsteps, i'm making my own[00:01:26]
only way i know how to escape from this 8 mile road[00:01:29]
i'm walking these train tracks, tryin to regain back[00:01:32]
the spirit i had fore i go back to the same crap[00:01:35]
to the same plant, in the same pants[00:01:37]
tryin to chase rap, gotta move asap[00:01:40]
and get a new plan, mommas got a new mam[00:01:43]
poor little baby sister, she don't understand[00:01:45]
sits in front of the t.v, buries her nose in the pad[00:01:48]
and just colors until the crayon gets dull in her hand[00:01:50]
while she colors her big brother, her mother and dad[00:01:53]
ain't no tellin what really goes on in her little head[00:01:56]
wish i could be the daddy that neither one of us had[00:01:58]
but i keep runnin from something i never wanted so bad![00:02:01]
sometimes i get upset, cause i ain't blew up yet[00:02:04]
it's like i grew up, but i ain't grow me two nuts yet[00:02:07]
don't got a rep my step, don't got enough pep[00:02:09]
the pressures to much man, i'm just tryin to do whats best[00:02:12]
and i try, sit alone and i cry[00:02:15]
yo i won't tell no lie, not a moment goes by[00:02:17]
that i don't pray to the sky, please i'm beggin you god[00:02:20]
please don't let me bitchin holdin no regular job[00:02:22]
yo i hope you can hear me homey wherever you are[00:02:25]
yo i'm tellin you dawg i'm bailin this trailer tomorrow[00:02:27]
tell my mother i love her, kiss baby sister goodbye[00:02:30]
say whenevr you need me baby i'm never to far[00:02:33]
but yo i gotta get out there the only way that i know[00:02:36]
and i'ma be back for you the second that i blow[00:02:38]
on everything i own, i'll make it on my own[00:02:41]
off to work i go, back to this 8 mile road[00:02:44]
i'm a man, i'ma make a new plan[00:02:47]
time for me to just stand up, and travel new land[00:02:49]
time for me to just take matters into my own hands[00:02:52]
once i'm over these tracks man i'ma never look back[00:02:55]
(8 mile road) and i'm gone, i know right where i'm going[00:02:57]
sorry mama i'm grown, i must travel alone[00:03:00]
ain't gunna follow these footsteps, i'm making my own[00:03:03]
only way i know how to escape from this 8 mile road[00:03:05]
you gotta live it to feel it, you didn't you wouldn't get it[00:03:08]
or see what the big deal is, why it wasn't the skillest[00:03:10]
to be walkin this boarder line of detroit city limits[00:03:13]
it's different, it's a certain significance, a certificate[00:03:16]
of authenticity, you've never even seen[00:03:18]
but it's everthing to me, it's my credibility[00:03:21]
you've never seen heard smelled or met a real mc[00:03:24]
who's incredible upon the same pedastal as me[00:03:26]
but yet i'm still unsigned, having a rough time[00:03:29]
sit on the porch wit all my friends and kick dumb rhymes[00:03:32]
go to work and serve mc's in the lunchline[00:03:35]
but when it comes crunch time, where do my punchlines go[00:03:37]
who must i show, to bust my flow[00:03:40]
where must i go, who must i know[00:03:43]
or am i just another crab in the bucket[00:03:46]
cause i ain't havin no luck with this little rabbit so f**k it[00:03:48]
maybe i need a new outlet, i'm startin to doubt shit[00:03:51]
i'm feelin a little skeptical who i hang out with[00:03:53]
i look like a bum, yo my clothes ain't about shit[00:03:56]
at the salvation army tryin to salvage an outfit[00:03:59]
and it's cold tryin to travel this raod[00:04:02]
plus i feel like on stuck in this battlin mode[00:04:04]
my defenses are so up, and one thing i don't want[00:04:07]
is pity from no one, this city is no fun[00:04:09]
there is no sun, and it's so dark[00:04:12]
sometimes i just feel like i being pulled apart[00:04:15]
from each one of my limbs, by each one of my friends[00:04:17]
it's enough to just make me wanna jump out of my skin[00:04:20]
sometimes i feel like a robot, sometimes i just know not[00:04:22]
what i'm doin i just blow, my head is a stove top[00:04:25]
i just explode, the kettle gets so hot[00:04:28]
sometimes my mouth just overloads the ass that i don't got[00:04:31]
but i've learned, it's time for me to u-turn[00:04:33]
yo it only takes one time for me to get burned[00:04:36]
ain't no falling no next time i meet a new girl[00:04:38]
i can no longer play stupid or be immature[00:04:41]
i got every ingredient, all i need is the courage[00:04:44]
like i already got the beat, all i need is the words[00:04:46]
got the urge, suddenly it's a surge[00:04:49]
suddenly a new burst of energy has ocurred[00:04:52]
time to show these free world leaders at three in the third[00:04:54]
i am no longer scared now, i'm free as a bird[00:04:57]
then i turn and cross over the median curb[00:05:00]
hit the verbs and all you see is a blur from 8 mile road[00:05:02]
i'm a man, i'ma make a new plan[00:05:06]
time for me to just stand up, and travel new land[00:05:08]
time for me to just take matters into my own hands[00:05:11]
once i'm over these tracks man i'ma never look back[00:05:13]
(8 mile road) and i'm gone, i know right where i'm going[00:05:16]
sorry mama i'm grown, i must travel alone[00:05:18]
ain't gunna follow these footsteps, i'm making my own[00:05:21]
only way i know how to escape from this 8 mile road[00:05:24]
