[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, hope the bus didn't 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



[Chorus]

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 the 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



[Eminem]

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
