8 Mile Lyrics

Sometimes I just feel like, quittin I still mic, why do I put up this fight, why do I still write Sometimes it's hard enough just dealing with real life Sometimes I just wanna jump on stage and just kill mic's And show these people what my level of skill's like But I'm still white, sometimes I just hate life Something ain't right, hit the brake lights Case of this stage fright, draw on the plane flight Call but I might fall It ain't my fault breaking my balls' My insides crawl and I clam up I just slam shut, I just can't do it My whole man-hoods, just been stripped I've just been picked so I must then get on the bus then split Man fuck this shit, yo I'm going the fuck home World on my shoulders as I run back to this ain't my room
I'm a man, I'm a make a new plan Time for me to just stand up and travel new land Time to leave and just take matters into my own hands Once I'm over these track man I'm a never look back And I'm gone and I know right where I'm goin Sorry momma I'm grown, I must travel alone Aint no followin footsteps, I'm making my own Only way that I know how to escape from, this ain't my room
Walking these train tracks trying to regain back The spirit I have before I go back to the same crap To the same plant, in the same pants Trying to chase rap, gotta move a.s.a.p Gotta get a new plan, momma's gotta new man Poor little baby sister, she don't understand Sits in front of the tv, buries her nose in the pad And just colours until the crayon get dull in her hand While she just colours her big brother and mother and dad There's no telling what really goes on in her little head Wish that I could be the daddy that neither one of us had But I keep running from something I never wanted so bad Sometimes I get upset, cause I ain't blew up yet Its like I grew up but I ain't grown up to nuts yet Dont got a rep, my step, don't got enough pep The pressures too much man I'm just trying to do what's best And I try, sit alone and I cry, yo I wont tell her why Not a moment goes by that I look right at the sky Please I'm begging you god Please don't let me be fishin holding no regular job Yo I hope you will be getting home, whereva you are Yo I'm telling you dog, I'm bailing this trailer tomorrow Tell my mother I love her, kiss baby sister goodbye Say whenever you need me baby, I'm never to far But yo I gotta get out there, the only way I know And I'm a 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 ain't my room
I'm a man, I'm a make a new plan Time for me to just stand up and travel new land Time to leave and just take matters into my own hands Once I'm over these track man I'm a never look back And I'm gone and I know right where I'm goin Sorry momma I'm grown, I must travel alone Aint no followin footsteps, I'm making my own Only way that I know how to escape from, this ain't my room
You got to live it to feel it, you didn't then you wouldn't get it Well see what the big deal is, why wasn't and still is To be walking this borderline of detroit city limits Its different in it, a certain significant of certificate Of authenticity, you'd never even see but it's everything to me Its my credibilaty, you never seen, heard, smelt a meda ta mc Who's incredable on the same pedestal as me The chaque still unsigned, having a rough time Sit on the porche with all my friends and kick dumb rhymes Go to work and serve mc's in the lunch line But when it comes 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 grabbing the bucket Cause I ain't having no luck with this little rappers so fuck it Maybe I need a new outlet, I'm starting to doubt shit I'm feeling a little skeptical who I hang out with I look like a bum, yo my clothes ain't about shit At the salvation army trying to salvage an outfit And it's cold trying to travel this road Plus I feel like I'm always stuck in this batteling mode My defenses are so up one thing don't want it pity from no one This city is no fun, there is no sun and it's so dark Sometimes I just feel like, I'm being pulled a-part From each one of my limbs, by each one of my friends Its enough to make me just wanna jump out of my skin Sometimes I just feel like a robot, sometimes I just know not What I'm doing I just blow my head as a stove top I just explode, the kettle gets so hot Sometimes my mouth just overloads the acid, I don't got But I learned it's time for me to u-turn Yo it only takes one time for me to get burned Aint no callin her next time I need 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 word Uh uh got the urge, suddenly it's a surge Suddenly a new burst of energy hits the curve Time to show these free world leaders, three and the third I am no longer scared now, I'm free as a bird Then I turn and cross over the medium curve Hit the burbs and run and see it's a blur, this ain't my room
I'm a man, I'm a make a new plan Time for me to just stand up and travel new land Time to leave and just take matters into my own hands Once I'm over these track man I'm a never look back And I'm gone and I know right where I'm goin Sorry momma I'm grown, I must travel alone Aint no followin footsteps, I'm making my own Only way that I know how to escape from, this ain't my room
