Okay, okay, I'm gonna make it anyway
Sometimes I just feel like
Sometimes I just feel
Quittin I still might
I'd still leave
Why do I put up this fight?
Why am I against fighting this fight?
Why do I still write?
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
Sometimes I wanna jump on stage and just kill mics
Sometimes I wanna jump on stage and just kill mics. Jump on stage and just kill mics
And show these people what my level of skill's like
But I'm still white
But I'm still white
Sometimes I just hate life
Sometimes I just hate life
Somethin ain't right
Somethin ain't right
Hit the breaklights
Knock out those taillights
In case of the stage fright
In case of the stage those ugly ghosts
Draw on the blank light
Turn on those empty lights
(Uhh, But if I fall, It ain't my fault, Breakin eyeballs, My insides crawl)
uhh, But if I fall, It ain't my fault, Breakin eyeballs, My insides struggle
And I clam up (SMASH!)
I don't say a word (the sound of breaking something)
I just slam shut
I just can't shut the door hard enough
I just can't do it
I just can't do it
My whole manhood's just been stripped
My whole personhood's just been stripped
I've just been ripped
I've been ripped open
So I must have been dipped
So I've just been dipped
Or the bustin split
Or the bustin split
Or the bustin split
Man fuck this shit yo
Fuck this piece of shit
I'm goin the fuck home
I'm goin the fuck home
Rollin my shoulders as I run back to this 8 Mile Rd.
Rollin my shoulders as I run back to this 8 Mile Rd.
(Chorus)
I'm a man
I'm a man
I'ma make a new plan
I'ma have to make a plan
Time for me to stand up and travel new land
Time for me to just to take matters into my own hands
Time for me to just to take matters into my own hands
Once I'm over these tracks man
Once I'm over these tracks man
I'ma never look back
I'ma never look back
( 8 Mile Rd.)
(8 Mile Rd)
And I'm gone
I don't like where I'm goin
I don't like where I'm going
Sorry mama I've grown
Sorry. Sorry mama I've grown
I must travel alone
Ain't no followin no footsteps
Ain't no followin no footsteps
I'm makin my own
I'm makin my own
Only way I know how to go is to go to the place I'm going.
Only way I know how to escape from this 8 Mile Rd.
Walkin these traintracks
Walkin these train tracks
Tryin to regain back the spirit I have
Tryin to regain the spirit I used to have
'Fore I go back to the same crap (SMASH!)
Before I go back to this same indiscriminate place (the sound of knocking things down)
To the same plant
To the same plant
And the same pants
The same clothes
Tryin to chase rap
Do your best to catch the beat
Gotta move A.S.A.P.
As soon as possible
Get a new plan
Get a new plan
Mama's got a new man
Mama's got a new man
Poor little baby sister

Ain't no tellin what really goes on in her little head

Wish I could be the daddy that neither one of us had
Wish I could be the daddy that none of us had
But I keep runnin from somethin I never wanted so bad
But I keep runnin from somethin I never wanted so bad
Sometimes I get upset
Sometimes I get frustrated
Cuz I ain't blew up yet
Cuz I ain't strong
Because I ain't strong enough
It's like I grew up, but I aint grownin two nuts yetIt's like I grew up, but I aint grownin two testicles yet
Don't gotta rap my step
Don't reprimand my step
Don't got enough pep
Don't have too much energy
The pressure's too much man
The pressure's too much man
I'm just tryin to do what's best
I just tryin to do what's best
And I try
And I try
Sit alone and I cry
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

Tell my mother I love her

Kiss baby sister goodbye

I'm never too far

But yo, I gotta get out there

And I'ma do that for you
On the second that I blow

Every second that I can squander
On everything I own

Back to this 8 Mile Rd.

Why it wasn't, it still is

But check

But when it come's crunch time

I can't tell you what it really is
I can only tell you what it feels like
I can only tell you what it feels like
And right now it's a still night in my wind pipe
And right now it's a still night in my wind pipe
Now my wind pipe feels like it's blocked
I can 't breathe but I still fight while I can fight
Can't breathe but I'm trying my best to hold on
As long as the wrong feels right it's like I 'm in flight
It's like I'm high off the law, drunk from my hate,
It's like I'm huffing paint and I'm trying to break free
It's like I'm huffing paint and I'm trying to break free
I'm still fighting while I can fight
Can't breathe but still I try to hold on
As long as the wrong feels right it's like I 'm huffing paint and I love it the more I suffer, I suffocate
It's like I'm drowning, the more I struggle the more I suffocate
And right before I'm about to
And right before I'm about to drown, she resuscitates me
She f**ing hates me and I love it.
Wait! Where you going? I'm leaving you
Wait! I'm leaving you
Wait! I'm leaving you.
No you ain't. Come back we're running right back.
No you can't go. Come back we're running right back!
Here we go again
We're running right back.
It's so insane cus when its going good its going great.
It's so insane cus when its going good its going great.
I'm superman with the wind at his back
I'm like superman with nothing to lose!
Shes Louis Lane but when its bad its awful, I feel so ashamed I snap
She's like Superman's idiot girlfriend, and when it's bad it's a mess I'm ashamed
Whos that dude? 't even know his name
Whos that dude? I laid hands on him, I'll never stoop so low again
I laid hands on him, I'll never stoop so low again
I laid hands on him, I'll never stoop so low again
I guess I don't know my own strength

When you're with 'em When you're with them
You meet and neither one of you even know what hit 'em
You meet and neither one of you knows what hit 'em. You meet and neither one of you even know what hit 'em
Got that warm fuzzy feeling
Slow down and enjoy your fuzzy feeling
Yeah, them those chills you used to get 'em
Heh. Those chills you used to get 'em
Now you're getting f^%king sick of looking at him
Now you're getting sick of looking at each other
You swore you'd never hit him; never do nothing to hurt him
You swore you'd never do anything to hurt him again.
Now you're in each other's face spewing venom in your words when you spit them
But now you're in a different face, spewing venom in your words
You push pull each other's hair, scratch claw hit him
You're pushing him around now, constantly hurting him
Throw him down pin him
You're ravaging him, pricking him like a needle
So lost in the moments when you're in themSo addicted to hurting each other
It's a race that's the culprit controls It's a race that's the culprit controls your boat
It's a race that's the culprit controls you
So they say you're best to go your separate ways
It's a race that's the culprit controls your boat
Guess if they don't know you cus today that was yesterday
They probably don't know you cus today that was yesterday
Yesterday is over it's a different day
If the past hadn't happened it wouldn't be like this
Sound like broken records playing over but you promised her
Next time you show restraint
Next time you show restraint
You don't get another chance
Or there won't be another chance between you
Life is no Nintendo game
Life isn't like a game
But you lied again
Now you get to watch her leave out the window
Now you get to watch her leave out the window
Now you get to watch her leave out the window
I guess that I guess that's why they call it window pane
I guess that's what they call regret

Baby, please come back

Maybe our relationship wasn't as crazy as it seemed
Maybe we didn't have the same relationship as we thought we did. Maybe our relationship wasn't as crazy as it seemed
Maybe that's what happens when a tornado meets a volcano
Maybe that's what happens when a tornado meets a volcano
Maybe it's like we're the result of fire and water
All I know is I love you too much to walk away though
All I know is I love you too much to walk away
Come inside, pick up your bags off the sidewalk
Come on home, get your stuff and go home.
Don't you hear sincerity in my voice when I talk
Don't you hear sincerity in my voice?
I told you this is my fault
I said it all.
Look me in the eye ball
Come look me in the eye.
Next time I'm pissed, I lay my fist at the drywall Next time.
There won't be no next time
I'm never going to get mad and do it again. Never again
I apologize even though I know its lies
I know my apology is a lie
I'm tired of the games I just want her back
I'm tired of this argument. I just want her back.
I know I'm a liar
