《8mile》的歌詞如下：
I'm 22 years old
I'm from the city
Tryin' to make it out
On my own
Tryin' to stay in rhythm
But my body's frozen
Sit in the ghetto
With my bches and my homies
On the realness we born and raised in this
Now these h*es with me, you either love me
Or you hate me, cause once you seen me
Got next to a brother and fell in love with his shoes, you won't
Hate him no more, he's your new best friend
And you'll love his car, his house, his wife
And his kids, his dog, his wife, his wife
He's a man now, he's a man now
He's a man now, he's a man now
He's a man now, he's a man now
He's a h*e, he's a h*e
Out of the house into the city
Left behind the hood, that was so lonely
8 mile
Every road leads to here, this where I live now
Saving up for rainy days, with hard cash only
8 mile, my flag on my car, my flag on my car
My flag on my hat, my flag on my hat
My flag on my shirt, my flag on my shirt
My flag on my jeans, I ain't coming down
I ain't coming down, I ain't coming down
I ain't coming down, I ain't coming down
It don't matter how far you go
In this game of road, it all starts from here
Everyday grind it out, or it don't exist here
But the money, that money is green, I ain't trying to end here
Every road leads to here, this where I live now
Saving up for rainy days with hard cash only
Take this off when it gets too dirty
Keep the real until it get better (Get better)
H*es hating till they meet me in person (Person)
All h*es on Instagram acting so perfect
Never done shit like me they read the description
Only fuckin with dudes in money clips foreigners and country members only! (Foreign and Country)
That new new style popping so big everywhere (Popping everywhere)
Put in work till it ain't no more street credit to give. You ask where we at? Look up above. I got all my breath all in strain. In jail with dudes they used to fuck with I shook 'em hand. I ain't saying I ain't trippin', I just say I ain't trippin' on them. I ain't saying I ain't trippin', I just say I ain't trippin', cause when you say you from the city they don't know if you from the city or if you from the suburbs. 8 mile. 8 mile. 8 mile. 8 mile. 8 mile. 8 mile. 8 mile. 8 mile. 8 mile. 8 mile. 8 mile. 8 mile. 8 mile. 8 mile. 8 mile. 8 mile. 8 mile. 8 mile. 8 mile. What it is! It be so different up close that you feel like it might kill you but they won't know till they come up out of this motherfkin' muddy water (muddy water) Then it might be too late and then you be sayin', "Damn man why didn't you tell me?" So if you in Detroit or if you just want to be in Detroit, remember one thing: The city don't sleep! It be day and night and all hours in between! It be so many hoes and bches trying to make it big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big! Big hoes and bches everywhere! But we got some hoes and b**ches making it happen! You want to be a star? Come to Detroit! The sky is the limit! It might be cold cold cold cold cold cold cold cold cold but when the sun comes up and shines through the rusted out rusted out rusted out rusted out rusted out skies then everything is beautiful beautiful beautiful beautiful beautiful beautiful beautiful beautiful beautiful beautiful beautiful beautiful beautiful beautiful beautiful! You can take it from me: It don't stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop! It might be hard hard hard hard hard hard hard hard but when you get there get there get there get there get there get there! It might be
