Lyrical Analysis of...
don't lose yourself
- Sometimes I just feel like, quittin' I still might
- Why do I put up this fight, why do I still write
- Sometimes it's hard enough just dealin' with real life
- Sometimes I wanna jump on stage and just kill mics
- And show these people what my level of skill's like
- But I'm still white, sometimes I just hate life
- Somethin ain't right, hit the brake lights
- Case of the stage fright, drawin a blank like
- Da duh duh da da, it ain't my fault
- Great big eyeballs, my insides crawl
- And I clam up {*wham*} I just slam shut
- I just can't do it, my whole manhood's
- Just been stripped, I have just been vicked
- So I must then get, off the bus then split
- Man fuck this shit; yo, I'm goin' the fuck home
- World on my shoulders as I run back to this my childhood
- I'm a man, I'mma make a new plan
- Time for me to just stand up, and travel new land+
- Time to really just take matters into my own hands
- Once I'm over these tracks man I'mma never look back
- (8 Mile Road) And I'm gone, I know right where I'm goin
- Sorry momma I'm grown, I must travel alone
- Ain't gon' follow the footsteps I'm makin' my own
- Only way that I know how to escape from this childhood
- I'm walkin' these train tracks, tryin' to regain back
- The spirit I had 'fore I go back to the same crap
- To the same plant, and the same pants
- Tryin' to chase rap, gotta move ASAP
- And get a new plan, momma's got a new man
- Poor little baby sister, she don't understand
- Sits in front of the TV, buries her nose in the pad
- And just colors until the crayon gets dull in her hand
- While she colors her big brother and mother and dad
- Ain't no tellin' what really goes on in her little head
- Wish I could be the daddy that neither one of us had
- But I keep runnin' from somethin' I never wanted so bad!
- 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
- Don't gotta rep my step, don't got enough pep
- The pressure's too much man, I'm just tryin' to do what's best
- And I try, sit alone and I cry
- Yo I won't tell no lie, not a moment goes by
- That I don't pray to the sky, please I'm beggin' you God
- Please don't let me be pigeonholed in no regular job
- Yo I hope you can hear me homey wherever you are
- Yo I'm tellin' you dawg I'm bailin' this trailer tomorrow
- Tell my mother I love her, kiss baby sister goodbye
- Say whenever you need me baby, I'm never too far
- But yo I gotta get out there, the only way I know
- And I'mma be back for you, the second that I blow
- On everything I own, I'll make it on my own
- Off to work I go, back to this childhood
- You gotta live it to feel it, you didn't you wouldn't get it
- Or see what the big deal is, why it was and it still is
- To be walkin this borderline of Detroit city limits
- It's different, it's a certain significance, a certificate
- Of authenticity, you'd never even see
- But it's everything to me, it's my credibility
- You never seen heard smelled or met a real MC
- Who's incredible upon the same pedestal as me
- But yet I'm still unsigned, havin' a rough time
- Sit on the porch with all my friends and kick dumb rhymes
- Go to work and serve MCs in the lunchline
- But when it comes crunch time, where do my punchlines go
- Who must I show, to bust my flow
- Where must I go, who must I know
- Or am I just another crab in the bucket
- Cause I ain't havin' no luck with this little bum foot so fuck it
- Maybe I need a new outlet, I'm startin to doubt shit
- I'm feelin' a little skeptical who I hang out with
- I look like a bum, yo my clothes ain't about shit
- At the Salvation Army tryin to salvage an outfit
- And it's cold, tryin' to travel this road
- Plus I feel like I'm on stuck in this battlin mode
- My defenses are so up, but one thing I don't want
- Is pity from no one, the city is no fun
- There is no sun, and it's so dark
- Sometimes I feel like I'm just bein' pulled apart
- From each one of my limbs, by each one of my friends
- It's enough to just make me wanna jump out of my skin
- Sometimes I feel like a robot, sometimes I just know not
- What I'm doin I just blow, my head is a stove top
- I just explode, the kettle gets so hot
- Sometimes my mouth just overloads the ass that I don't got
- But I've learned, it's time for me to U turn
- Yo it only takes one time for me to get burned
- Ain't no fallin' no next time I meet a new girl
- I can no longer play stupid or be immature
- I got every ingredient, all I need is the courage
- Like I already got the beat, all I need is the words
- Got the urge, suddenly it's a surge
- Suddenly a new burst of energy has occurred
- Time to show these free world leaders the 3 and a third
- I am no longer scared now, I'm free as a bird
- Then I turn and cross over the median curb
- Hit the 'burbs and all you see is a blur
