8 mile road - street light lyrics

Loading...

[eminem talking]
we’ve lived through the ups and the downs
but we remain, detroit
we can never turn our backs on you detroit, because we are you
my home

[verse 1]
yo, yo!
this is where i’m actually from
i’m just a rapper to most
could’ve been grabbing a gun
instead they handed a note-pad and a pencil
meant to -ssist my hand as it wrote
don’t come back ’til you’re done, won or casper the ghost
could’ve been simple and dumb, grew up and managed to cope
with the fact that i’m no different than half of these jokes
maybe addicted to some drug, like heroin, c0ke
added to the correctional system from peddling both
i had some homies who died in a mobile home
in a ride over jordan 4’s or in line on a mobile phone while they dialing
and all they get from society is a moment of silence
but then n0body acknowledges all the problems in rhyme
so then i promised my mom i’d never be a statistic
rather be a misfit than have her alarmed
but yo, it’s hard to resist it
they rap about guns ‘cuz that’s the place where we from
even though i’ll never miss it! one!

[eminem talking]
your streets witness our struggle
your bricks are our rage through the emptiness of each house shuttered, of each factory closed
who know nothing is accomplished without hardwork, without sacrifice
when you hurt, we hurt

[verse 2]
yo, yo!
i went back with a vengeance, got a spectacular figure rapping
my sentences crafted with k!llers and crack-cooking dealers
who happen to be in prisons from acting upon the lyrics
they heard in the rapper’s gimmick
it’s either you laugh or fear it
the atmosphere is conducive to grabbing a beer and losing your p-ssions
appearing stupid
when fashion gear is the newest, but havoc rears it’s medusa
the battle here as you lose it is half as clear as the music you blast in ear as you’re cruising
and “we ain’t got n0body to teach us”
says the adolescent as he leans on the speaker
and all of the lessons are mess at best that they feed us
our parents don’t contest it, so i guess they just breed us
they never seem to care or just think twice
don’t need ’em to be heavenly ‘cuz that’s why we need christ
i make it to seventeen, i’m leaving this street life
i prayed for it heavily, “god, send us a street light”

[eminem talking]
sometimes down, but never out
take strength in us, your people
stay up detroit
