☆ 8mile(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 fuckin 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
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
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
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
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
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 fucken 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
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
