[00:29.07] | Sometimes I just feel like, quitting I still might |
[00:31.65] | Why do I put upthis fight, why do I still write |
[00:34.24] | Sometimes it's hard enough just dealin wit real life |
[00:37.02] | Sometimes I wanna jump on stage and just kill mics |
[00:39.75] | And show these people what my level of skills like |
[00:42.32] | But I'm still white, sometimes I just hate life |
[00:45.05] | Something ain't right, hit the brake lights |
[00:47.69] | Case of the stage fright, drawin a blank light |
[00:50.58] | Da-duh-duh-da-da, it ain't my fault |
[00:53.60] | Great big eyeballs, my insides crawl |
[00:56.29] | And I clam up, I just slam shut |
[00:58.42] | I just can't do it, my whole manhoods |
[01:01.05] | Just been stripped, I have just been vicked |
[01:03.62] | So i must then get, off this bus then split |
[01:06.02] | Man fuck this shit yo, I'm going the fuck home |
[01:08.95] | World on my shoulders as I run back to this 8 mile road |
[05:06.81][02:47.80][01:12.62] | I'm a man, I'ma make a new plan |
[05:08.89][02:50.21][01:14.16] | Time for me to just stand up, and travel new land |
[05:11.50][02:53.04][01:16.96] | Time for me to just take matters into my own hands |
[05:14.37][02:55.51][01:19.42] | Once I'm over these tracks man I'ma never look back |
[05:16.78][02:58.13][01:22.10] | (8 mile road) And I'm gone, I know right where I'm going |
[05:19.46][03:00.88][01:24.89] | Sorry mama I'm grown, I must travel alone |
[05:22.09][03:03.61][01:27.40] | Ain't gunna follow these footsteps, I'm making my own |
[05:24.72][03:06.06][01:30.10] | Only way I know how to escape from this 8 mile road |
[01:33.15] | I'm walking these train tracks, tryin to regain back |
[01:35.78] | the spirit I had fore I go back to the same crap |
[01:38.37] | To the same plant, in the same pants |
[01:41.04] | Tryin to chase rap, gotta move ASAP |
[01:43.69] | And get a new plan, mommas got a new mam |
[01:46.01] | Poor little baby sister, she don't understand |
[01:49.08] | Sits in front of the T.V, buries her nose in the pad |
[01:51.27] | And just colors until the crayon gets dull in her hand |
[01:54.01] | While she colors her big brother, her mother and dad |
[01:56.70] | Ain't no tellin what really goes on in her little head |
[01:59.33] | Wish I could be the daddy that neither one of us had |
[02:02.00] | But I keep runnin from something I never wanted so bad! |
[02:04.63] | Sometimes I get upset, cause I ain't blew up yet |
[02:07.59] | It's like I grew up, but I ain't grow me two nuts yet |
[02:10.18] | Don't got a rep my step, don't got enough pep |
[02:12.84] | The pressures to much man, I'm just tryin to do whats best |
[02:15.54] | And I try, sit alone and I cry |
[02:17.82] | Yo I won't tell no lie, not a moment goes by |
[02:20.67] | That I don't pray to the sky, please I'm beggin you god |
[02:23.24] | Please don't let me bitchin holdin no regular job |
[02:25.89] | Yo I hope you can hear me homey wherever you are |
[02:28.44] | Yo I'm tellin you dawg I'm bailin this trailer tomorrow |
[02:31.19] | Tell my mother I love her, kiss baby sister goodbye |
[02:33.81] | Say whenevr you need me baby I'm never to far |
[02:36.50] | But yo I gotta get out there the only way that I know |
[02:39.29] | And I'ma be back for you the second that I blow |
[02:42.02] | On everything I own, I'll make it on my own |
[02:45.29] | Off to work I go, back to this 8 mile road |
[03:09.17] | You gotta live it to feel it, you didn't you wouldn't get it |
[03:11.48] | Or see what the big deal is, why it wasn't the skillest |
[03:14.31] | To be walkin this boarder line of Detroit city limits |
[03:16.83] | It's different, it's a certain significance, a certificate |
[03:19.34] | Of authenticity, you've never even seen |
[03:21.92] | But it's everthing to me, it's my credibility |
[03:24.72] | You've never seen heard smelled or met a real MC |
[03:27.34] | Who's incredible upon the same pedastal as me |
[03:29.96] | But yet I'm still unsigned, having a rough time |
[03:33.04] | Sit on the porch wit all my friends and kick dumb rhymes |
[03:35.72] | Go to work and serve MC's in the lunchline |
[03:38.39] | But when it comes crunch time, where do my punchlines go |
[03:41.14] | Who must I show, to bust my flow |
[03:44.09] | Where must I go, who must I know |
[03:46.67] | Or am I just another crab in the bucket |
[03:49.01] | Cause I ain't havin no luck with this little Rabbit so fuck it |
[03:51.65] | Maybe I need a new outlet, I'm startin to doubt shit |
[03:54.38] | I'm feelin a little skeptical who I hang out with |
[03:56.85] | I look like a bum, yo my clothes ain't about shit |
[03:59.58] | At the salvation army tryin to salvage an outfit |
[04:02.59] | And it's cold tryin to travel this raod |
[04:05.27] | Plus I feel like on stuck in this battlin mode |
[04:07.52] | My defenses are so up, and one thing I don't want |
[04:10.39] | Is pity from no one, this city is no fun |
[04:13.04] | There is no sun, and it's so dark |
[04:15.79] | Sometimes I just feel like I being pulled apart |
[04:18.41] | From each one of my limbs, by each one of my friends |
[04:20.74] | It's enough to just make me wanna jump out of my skin |
[04:23.41] | Sometimes I feel like a robot, sometimes I just know not |
[04:26.36] | What I'm doin I just blow, my head is a stove top |
[04:28.65] | I just explode, the kettle gets so hot |
[04:31.65] | Sometimes my mouth just overloads the ass that I don't got |
[04:34.23] | But I've learned, it's time for me to u-turn |
[04:37.08] | Yo it only takes one time for me to get burned |
[04:39.43] | Ain't no falling no next time I meet a new girl |
[04:42.07] | I can no longer play stupid or be immature |
[04:44.69] | I got every ingredient, all I need is the courage |
[04:47.31] | Like I already got the beat, all I need is the words |
[04:50.38] | Got the urge, suddenly it's a surge |
[04:52.75] | Suddenly a new burst of energy has ocurred |
[04:55.14] | Time to show these free world leaders at three in the third |
[04:57.88] | I am no longer scared now, I'm free as a bird |
[05:00.51] | Then I turn and cross over the median curb |
[05:03.19] | Hit the verbs and all you see is a blur from 8 mile road |
