Parole 8 Miles - Eminem

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 just dealin with 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 brake lights

Case of the stage fright, drawin a blank like

Da-duh-duh-da-da, it ain't my fault

Great big eye balls, my insides crawl

and I clam up 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 then get, on the bus and split

Man fuck this shit yo, I'm goin the fuck home

World on my shoulders as I run back to this 8 Mile Road

I'm a man, I'ma make a new plan

Time for me to just stand up, and travel new land

Time for me to just take matters into my own hands

Once I'm over these tracks man I'ma never look back

(8 Mile Road) And I'm gone, I know right where I'm goin

Sorry momma I'm grown, I must travel alone

Ain't gonna follow no footsteps, I'm makin my own

Only way that I know how to escape from this 8 Mile Road

I'm walkin these train tracks, tryin to regain back

the spirit I had 'fore I go back to the same crap

To the same plant, in the same pants

Tryin to chase rap, gotta move ASAP

And get a new plan, momma's got a new man

Poor little baby sister, she don't understand

Sits in front of the TV, buries 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, cause I ain't blew up yet

It's like I grew up, but I ain't grown me two nuts yet

Don't gotta rep 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 no 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-holed in no regular job

Yo I hope you can hear me homey wherever you are

Yo I'm tellin you dawg I'm bailin this trailer 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 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 8 Mile Road

I'm a man, I'ma make a new plan

Time for me to just stand up, and travel new land

Time for me to just take matters into my own hands

Once I'm over these tracks man I'ma never look back
