8 Mile Road Lyric 8 Mile 8 MILE SOUNDTRACK

(It's okay, it's okay. I'm gonna make it anyway.)
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 steal from the 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 breaklights
In case of the stage fright
Draw on the
blank light
(Uhh, But if I fall, It ain't my fault, Breakin eyeballs, My
insides crawl)
And I clam up (SMASH!)
I just slam shut
I just can't do
it
My whole manhood's just been stripped
I've just been ripped
So I
must been dipped
Or the bustin split
Man fuck this shit yo
I'm goin the
fuck home
Rollin my shoulders as I run back to this 8 Mile
Rd.

(Chorus)
I'm a man
I'ma make a new plan
Time for me to stand
up and travel new land
Time for me to just to take matters into my own
hands
Once I'm over these tracks man
I'ma never look back
(8 Mile
Rd.)
And I'm gone
I don't like where I'm goin
Sorry mama I've
grown
I must travel alone
Ain't no followin no footsteps
I'm makin my
own
Only way I know how to escape from this 8 Mile Rd.

Walkin these
traintracks
Tryin to regain back the spirit I have
'Fore I go back to the
same crap (SMASH!)
To the same plant
And the same pants
Tryin to chase
rap
Gotta move A.S.A.P.
Get a new plan
Mama's got a new man
Poor
little baby sister
She don't understand
Sits in front of the TV, bury's
her nose in the pad
And just colors until the crayon gets dull in her
hand
While she colors her big brother, her 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
Cuz I ain't blew up yet
It's like I grew up,
but I aint grownin two nuts yet
Don't gotta rap 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 a 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 pigeon holdin on regular job
Yo I hope you can hear me
hommie
Wherever you are
Yo I'm tellin you dog
I'm bailin this trailor
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 do that for you
On 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 Rd.

(Chorus)

Ya gotta live it to feel
it
If you didn't you wouldn't get it
We'll see what the big deal is
Why
it wasn't, it still is
To be walkin this border line of Detroit city's
limit
It's different, it's a certain significant certificate of
authenticity
You'd never even see
But it's everything to me
It's my
credibility
You've never seen, heard, smell, or met an MC
Who's incredible
and on the same pedistool as me
But check
Still unsigned
Havin a rough
time
Sit on the porch with all my friend's who kick dumb rhymes
Go to
work
And servin MC's in the lunch line
But when it come's crunch
time
Where do my punch lines 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
Cuz I ain't havin no luck with this little rabbit so fuck
it
Maybe I need a new outlit
I'm startin to doubt shit
I'm feelin a
little scepticle
Of who I hang out with
I look like a bum
Yo my clothes
ain't about shit
At the Salvation Army
Tryin to salvage and outfit
And
it's cold
Tryin to travel this road
Plus I feel like I'm only stuck in
this battlin mode
My defenses are so up
And 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 being pulled apart
Being torn in my
limbs
By each one of my friends
Enough to just make me wanna jump outta 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 acid 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 burnt
Ain't no fallin
No next time
Imeet a new girl
I can no
longer play stupid
Or be immature
I've got every ingredient
All I need
is the courage
Like I already got to beat
All I need is the words
Got
the urge
Suddenly its a search
Suddenly a new verse of energy has
occured
Time to show these free world leaders
Three in the third
I am
no longer scared now
I'm free as a bird
And I turn and cross over
The
median curb
Hit the burbs and all you see is a blur on 8 mile
rd.

(Chorus)
