Eminem - 8 Mile |
[00:17.41] |
|
[00:28.57] |
Sometimes I just feel like, quitting I still might |
[00:31.15] |
Why do I put upthis fight, why do I still write |
[00:33.74] |
Sometimes it's hard enough just dealin wit real life |
[00:36.52] |
Sometimes I wanna jump on stage and just kill mics |
[00:39.25] |
And show these people what my level of skills like |
[00:41.82] |
But I'm still white, sometimes I just hate life |
[00:44.55] |
Something ain't right, hit the brake lights |
[00:47.19] |
Case of the stage fright, drawin a blank light |
[00:50.08] |
Da-duh-duh-da-da, it ain't my fault |
[00:53.10] |
Great big eyeballs, my insides crawl |
[00:55.79] |
And I clam up, I just slam shut |
[00:57.92] |
I just can't do it, my whole manhoods |
[01:00.55] |
Just been stripped, I have just been vicked |
[01:03.12] |
So i must then get, off this bus then split |
[01:05.52] |
Man **** this shit yo, I'm going the **** home |
[01:08.45] |
World on my shoulders as I run back to this 8 mile road |
[01:12.12] |
I'm a man, I'ma make a new plan |
[01:13.66] |
Time for me to just stand up, and travel new land |
[01:16.46] |
Time for me to just take matters into my own hands |
[01:18.92] |
Once I'm over these tracks man I'ma never look back |
[01:21.60] |
(8 mile road) And I'm gone, I know right where I'm going |
[01:24.39] |
Sorry mama I'm grown, I must travel alone |
[01:26.90] |
Ain't gunna follow these footsteps, I'm making my own |
[01:29.60] |
Only way I know how to escape from this 8 mile road |
[01:32.65] |
I'm walking these train tracks, tryin to regain back |
[01:35.28] |
the spirit I had fore I go back to the same crap |
[01:37.87] |
To the same plant, in the same pants |
[01:40.54] |
Tryin to chase rap, gotta move ASAP |
[01:43.19] |
And get a new plan, mommas got a new mam |
[01:45.51] |
Poor little baby sister, she don't understand |
[01:48.58] |
Sits in front of the T.V, buries her nose in the pad |
[01:50.77] |
And just colors until the crayon gets dull in her hand |
[01:53.51] |
While she colors her big brother, her mother and dad |
[01:56.20] |
Ain't no tellin what really goes on in her little head |
[01:58.83] |
Wish I could be the daddy that neither one of us had |
[02:01.50] |
But I keep runnin from something I never wanted so bad! |
[02:04.13] |
Sometimes I get upset, cause I ain't blew up yet |
[02:07.09] |
It's like I grew up, but I ain't grow me two nuts yet |
[02:09.68] |
Don't got a rep my step, don't got enough pep |
[02:12.34] |
The pressures to much man, I'm just tryin to do whats best |
[02:15.04] |
And I try, sit alone and I cry |
[02:17.32] |
Yo I won't tell no lie, not a moment goes by |
[02:20.17] |
That I don't pray to the sky, please I'm beggin you god |
[02:22.74] |
Please don't let me bitchin holdin no regular job |
[02:25.39] |
Yo I hope you can hear me homey wherever you are |
[02:27.94] |
Yo I'm tellin you dawg I'm bailin this trailer tomorrow |
[02:30.69] |
Tell my mother I love her, kiss baby sister goodbye |
[02:33.31] |
Say whenevr you need me baby I'm never to far |
[02:36.00] |
But yo I gotta get out there the only way that I know |
[02:38.79] |
And I'ma be back for you the second that I blow |
[02:41.52] |
On everything I own, I'll make it on my own |
[02:44.79] |
Off to work I go, back to this 8 mile road |
[02:47.30] |
I'm a man, I'ma make a new plan |
[02:49.71] |
Time for me to just stand up, and travel new land |
[02:52.54] |
Time for me to just take matters into my own hands |
[02:55.01] |
Once I'm over these tracks man I'ma never look back |
[02:57.63] |
(8 mile road) And I'm gone, I know right where I'm going |
[03:00.38] |
Sorry mama I'm grown, I must travel alone |
[03:03.11] |
Ain't gunna follow these footsteps, I'm making my own |
[03:05.56] |
Only way I know how to escape from this 8 mile road |
[03:08.67] |
You gotta live it to feel it, you didn't you wouldn't get it |
[03:10.98] |
Or see what the big deal is, why it wasn't the skillest |
[03:13.81] |
To be walkin this boarder line of Detroit city limits |
[03:16.33] |
It's different, it's a certain significance, a certificate |
[03:18.84] |
Of authenticity, you've never even seen |
[03:21.42] |
But it's everthing to me, it's my credibility |
[03:24.22] |
You've never seen heard smelled or met a real MC |
[03:26.84] |
Who's incredible upon the same pedastal as me |
[03:29.46] |
But yet I'm still unsigned, having a rough time |
[03:32.54] |
Sit on the porch wit all my friends and kick dumb rhymes |
[03:35.22] |
Go to work and serve MC's in the lunchline |
[03:37.89] |
But when it comes crunch time, where do my punchlines go |
[03:40.64] |
Who must I show, to bust my flow |
[03:43.59] |
Where must I go, who must I know |
[03:46.17] |
Or am I just another crab in the bucket |
[03:48.51] |
Cause I ain't havin no luck with this little Rabbit so **** it |
[03:51.15] |
Maybe I need a new outlet, I'm startin to doubt shit |
[03:53.88] |
I'm feelin a little skeptical who I hang out with |
[03:56.35] |
I look like a bum, yo my clothes ain't about shit |
[03:59.08] |
At the salvation army tryin to salvage an outfit |
[04:02.09] |
And it's cold tryin to travel this raod |
[04:04.77] |
Plus I feel like on stuck in this battlin mode |
[04:07.02] |
My defenses are so up, and one thing I don't want |
[04:09.89] |
Is pity from no one, this city is no fun |
[04:12.54] |
There is no sun, and it's so dark |
[04:15.29] |
Sometimes I just feel like I being pulled apart |
[04:17.91] |
From each one of my limbs, by each one of my friends |
[04:20.24] |
It's enough to just make me wanna jump out of my skin |
[04:22.91] |
Sometimes I feel like a robot, sometimes I just know not |
[04:25.86] |
What I'm doin I just blow, my head is a stove top |
[04:28.15] |
I just explode, the kettle gets so hot |
[04:31.15] |
Sometimes my mouth just overloads the ass that I don't got |
[04:33.73] |
But I've learned, it's time for me to u-turn |
[04:36.58] |
Yo it only takes one time for me to get burned |
[04:38.93] |
Ain't no falling no next time I meet a new girl |
[04:41.57] |
I can no longer play stupid or be immature |
[04:44.19] |
I got every ingredient, all I need is the courage |
[04:46.81] |
Like I already got the beat, all I need is the words |
[04:49.88] |
Got the urge, suddenly it's a surge |
[04:52.25] |
Suddenly a new burst of energy has ocurred |
[04:54.64] |
Time to show these free world leaders at three in the third |
[04:57.38] |
I am no longer scared now, I'm free as a bird |
[05:00.01] |
Then I turn and cross over the median curb |
[05:02.69] |
Hit the verbs and all you see is a blur from 8 mile road |
[05:06.31] |
I'm a man, I'ma make a new plan |
[05:08.39] |
Time for me to just stand up, and travel new land |
[05:11.00] |
Time for me to just take matters into my own hands |
[05:13.87] |
Once I'm over these tracks man I'ma never look back |
[05:16.28] |
(8 mile road) And I'm gone, I know right where I'm going |
[05:18.96] |
Sorry mama I'm grown, I must travel alone |
[05:21.59] |
Ain't gunna follow these footsteps, I'm making my own |
[05:24.22] |
Only way I know how to escape from this 8 mile road |
[05:28.53] |
