[00:03.29]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]
