Am
Sometimes I just feel like, quittin I still might

Why do I put up this fight, why do I still write
Fm                               Am
Sometimes it's hard enough just dealin with real life
C                          Bm
Sometimes I wanna jump on stage and just kill mics
Am
And show these people what my level of skill's like

But I'm still white, sometimes I just hate life
Fm                   Am
Somethin ain't right, hit the brake lights
 C                       Bm
Case of the stage fright, drawin a blank like
 Am
Da-duh-duh-da-da, it ain't my fault

Great then I falls, my insides crawl
Fm                    Am
and I clam up {*wham*} I just slam shut
C                  Bm
I just can't do it, my whole manhood's
Am
just been stripped, I have just been vicked

So I must then get, off the bus then slip
     Fm                     Am
Man fuck this shit yo, I'm goin the fuck home
 C                              Bm
World on my shoulders as I run back to this 8 Mile Road

{Chorus}
Am
I'm a man, I'ma make a new plan

Time for me to just stand up, and travel new land
         Fm                         Am
Time to really just take matters into my own hands
         C                           Bm
Once I'm over these tracks man I'ma never look back
Am
(8 Mile Road) And I'm gone, I know right where I'm goin

Sorry momma I'm grown, I must travel alone
        Fm                       Am
And go follow the footsteps I'm makin my own
      C                        Bm
Only way that I know how to escape from this 8 Mile Road


{Eminem}
     Am
I'm walkin these train tracks, tryin to regain back

the spirit I had 'fore I go back to the same crap
Fm                Am                  C
To the same plant,  and the same pants
                 Bm
Tryin to chase rap, gotta move ASAP
Am
And get a new plan, momma's got a new man

Poor little baby sister, she don't understand
         Fm                          Am
Sits in front of the TV, buries her nose in the pad
          C                            Bm
And just colors until the crayon gets dull in her hand
Am
While she colors her big brother and mother and dad

Ain't no tellin what really goes on in her little head
        Fm                             Am
Wish I could be the daddy that neither one of us had
             C                            Bm
But I keep runnin from somethin I never wanted so bad!

Am
Sometimes I get upset, cause I ain't blew up yet

It's like I grew up, but I ain't grow me two nuts yet
Fm                      Am
Don't gotta rep my step, don't got enough pep
     C                                 Bm
The pressure's too much man, I'm just tryin to do what's best
Am
And I try, sit alone and I cry

Yo I won't tell no lie, not a moment goes by
              Fm                          Am
That I don't pray to the sky, please I'm beggin you God
              C                          Bm
Please don't let me be bitchin holdin no regular job
Am
Yo I hope you can hear me homey wherever you are

Yo I'm tellin you dawg I'm bailin this trailer tomorrow
         Fm                           Am
Tell my mother I love her, kiss baby sister goodbye
       C                           Bm
Say whenever you need me baby, I'm never too far
Am
But yo I gotta get out there, the only way I know

And I'ma be back for you, the second that I blow
   Fm                      Am
On everything I own, I'll make it on my own
        C         Bm
Off to work I go, back to this 8 Mile Road
{Chorus}
Am
I'm a man, I'ma make a new plan

Time for me to just stand up, and travel new land
         Fm                         Am
Time to really just take matters into my own hands
         C                           Bm
Once I'm over these tracks man I'ma never look back
Am
(8 Mile Road) And I'm gone, I know right where I'm goin

Sorry momma I'm grown, I must travel alone
        Fm                       Am
And go follow the footsteps I'm makin my own
      C                        Bm
Only way that I know how to escape from this 8 Mile Road
{Eminem}
Am
You gotta live it to feel it, you didn't you wouldn't get it

Or see what the big deal is, why it wasn't the skillest
       Fm                          Am
To be walkin this borderline of Detroit city limits
          C                         Bm
It's different, it's a certain significance, a certificate
Am
of authenticity, you'd never even see

But it's everything to me, it's my credibility
          Fm                     Am
You never seen heard smelled or met a real MC
          C                     Bm
who's incredible upon the same pedestal as me
Am
But yet I'm still unsigned, havin a rough time

Sit on the porch with all my friends and kick dumb rhymes
Fm                     Am
Go to work and serve MC's in the lunchline
      C                         Bm
But when it comes crunch time, where do my punchlines go
Am
Who must I show, to bust my flow
                              Fm
Where must I go, who must I know
                       Am
Or am I just another crab in the bucket
               C                             Bm
Cause I ain't havin no luck with this little Rabbit so fuck it
Am
Maybe I need a new outlet, I'm startin to doubt shit

I'm feelin a little skeptical who I hang out with
   Fm                      Am
I look like a bum, yo my clothes ain't about shit
       C                       Bm
if the Salvation Army tryin to salvage an outfit
Am
And it's cold, tryin to travel this road

Plus I feel like I'm on stuck in this battlin mode
       Fm                  Am
My defenses are so up, but one thing I don't want
    C                     Bm
is pity from no one, the city is no fun
Am
There is no sun, and it's so dark

Sometimes I feel like I'm just bein pulled apart
    Fm                        Am
I'm torn in my limbs, by each one of my friends
       C                              Bm
It's enough to make me just wanna jump out of my skin
Am
Sometimes I feel like a robot, sometimes I just know not

what I'm doin I just blow, my head is a stove top
Fm                   Am
I just explode, the kettle gets so hot
     C                                Bm
Sometimes my mouth just overloads the ass that I don't got
Am
But I've learned, it's time for me to U-turn

Yo it only takes one time for me to get burned
          Fm                    Am
Ain't no fallin no next time I meet a new girl
          C                     Bm
I can no longer play stupid or be immature
Am
I got every ingredient, all I need is the courage

Like I already got the beat, all I need is the words
Fm                   Am
Got the urge, suddenly it's a surge
       C                    Bm
Suddenly a new burst of energy is occured
Am
Time to show these free world leaders the three and a third

I am no longer scared now, I'm free as a bird
       Fm                       Am
Then I turn and cross over the median curb
         C                          Bm
Hit the verbs and all you see is a blur from 8 Mile Road

{Chorus}
Am
I'm a man, I'ma make a new plan

Time for me to just stand up, and travel new land
         Fm                         Am
Time to really just take matters into my own hands
         C                           Bm
Once I'm over these tracks man I'ma never look back
Am
(8 Mile Road) And I'm gone, I know right where I'm goin

Sorry momma I'm grown, I must travel alone
        Fm                       Am
And go follow the footsteps I'm makin my own
      C                        Bm
Only way that I know how to escape from this 8 Mile Road
