Lyrics:
know how to escape from this 8 Mile Road
Walking these train tracks, tryin' to regain back
The spirit I had 'fore I go back to the same crap
fields and home,
I dreamed about my mother, dear old papa, sister and brother,
And I dreamed about that girl, who's been waitin' for so long
I want
computer
And it didn't mean
Anything to me
Back then
And he also
Tapped on a table
In a rhythmic way
Kind of like
The sound of
Horses running
Kind
Feel the heat from our gunfire, when you see us coming
Their your niggas running, wild and heartless and we steady gunning
Don't fuck with a legit
I was born by the river in a little tent
Oh just like that river I've been running ever since
It's been a long time coming
But I know a change
couldn't describe
Couldn't decide
How to tell those other women goodbye
Refused to just try and listen to you
I was with my other shawty running around
her breasts was a test she would fail
Fresh tip nails
Type of ass make a brother train of thought derail
As we converse I could tell that she feelin'
this town 'cause you don't treat 'em right.
Oh, take a train (take a train), fly by plane (fly by plane),
Yeah, gettin' tired (gettin' tired), sick
lonely to long
Oh, I can't be so strong
Take the chance for romance, take my heart
I need you so
There's no time I'll ever go
Cheri, cheri lady
I was born by the river in a little tent
And just like the river, I've been running ever since
It's been a long time coming
But I know a change is
On the metro up at 2am but you're the only thing on my mind
In a city as big as this why's your love so hard to find?
Faces long as the train rolls
somewhere
I will find my brothers, by the sword I swear
In my memory awakening
Like a dream too sweet to cast away
Shadows of the past begin to sing
my family that came from my bloodline
grind with my brothers so that way we all shine
[They]
they ain't ever really wanna fuck wit a nigga
i ain't
this town 'cause you don't treat 'em right.
Oh, take a train (take a train), fly by plane (fly by plane),
Yeah, gettin' tired (gettin' tired), sick
this town 'cause you don't treat 'em right.
Oh, take a train (take a train), fly by plane (fly by plane),
Yeah, gettin' tired (gettin' tired), sick
fit I'm bitching
Calling this one my letter to the system
Hope by now they know to listen
Power been down five days now
Fuck the system
Big Brother
side of da train tracks
Good luck findin ya way back
To go is what dey trained at
When we ain't in attack mode we relaxed tho
Mad smoke in
case brothers act stupid
Got to the movie but before we got in
A kid got robbed by a crew of 10
Punched him and stomped him, nobody would help
Didn't
When I was six years old I broke my leg
I was running from my brother and his friends
Tasted the sweet perfume of the mountain grass I rolled down
at the same time I play
Get served a meal by my mom or padre
Work on myself must improve in each way
I love the crib after every long day
Go watch a stream
(Brrp)
Out of here, PJ to Jamaica
Naw I ain't tell ya wrong, get the paper
Been fightin' too long against haters
My attitude, yeah I'm going for
Farah, my brother
Told me keep up my stride
More Stephen Lawrence than Boris
Running to stay alive
Try, crop me out picture like I'm Dame
But I'm just
and the struggle to get by each week
It's tougher that they lie to me
Tell me shit is fine and we
Should focus on our self it doesn't matter if I die this week
We
you're about to
You don't know that road you're on when the demon drives you home
Brother it won't take too long for everything is gone
The spirit
