Текст песни
Detroit cold, '95, the city breathes rust
Another shift ends, covered in factory dust
Livin' with mom, the fights, the endless gray haze
On the Shelter stage, I froze, lost in a daze
She came along, a spark, a promise in the dark
But trust is just a word that quickly falls apart
Cornered and beaten down, tasting blood and street
A fire starts to burn from the agony of defeat
This 8 Mile line, a scar across the ground
Divides the world I lost from the world I haven't found
Got one shot, one breath, the fire in my soul
To break these chains of silence, make my story whole
Now I'm takin' all this pain, puttin' it in a rhyme
Every insult, every hit, I'm climbin' back through time
Gonna use their own words, flip the script they wrote for me
No more rabbit in the lights, just the man I'm gonna be
I'm the white trash kid, from a trailer home, it's true
But you're the rich boy playin' tough with your silver spoon crew
I'll own my broken world, I'll wear it like a crown
And with this truth I'm holdin', I will tear you down
Cross the line Far from the line
Find my way
The road just fades away
