Obie Trice - 8 Miles lyrics

(echo) assassins
Muggs soul Assassins

I'm stranded off School Craft Avenue
I gotta make it to 8
This bitch I'm with, she bein' fake
I get out her car without
A strand in my pocket
She force a nigga to walk through
The land of this hot shit
It's cold as fuck but wait
It's a full moon so it's
A little easy to navigate
I'm walkin' up Greenfield with
No thriller with me
Fresh as fuck, niggas come and get me
Buses ain't workin', crackheads lurkin'
Know them stick up niggas wanna murk me and
I reach Grand River
Cats ridin by with they eyes on a nigga
I cross the light and hear them tires squeal
U Turn, they came back ill
No talkin', the gun started sparkin'
Popo got to chalkin'

Nigga if I made it to 8 Mile
You wouldn't understand the D
So I'mma reincarnate Obie
Put the same life in a different situation
Show you motherfuckers what a nigga facin'
If I made it to 8 Mile
You wouldn't understand the D
So I'mma reincarnate Obie
Put the same life in a different situation
Show you motherfuckers what a nigga facin'

So I reach Finkel Ave, I'm mad as fuck now
A nigga shoulda stuck with that bitch
My down coat ain't as fluffy and thick
And crackheads rushin me for bones to hit
I say "I don't got them flavors man
I'm straight" but raw heads like to hate
I'm tryna make it to the next Ave, Puritan
PA them same fiends goin Obie way
I turn down, niggas followin
I walk faster, niggas get to joggin
Look again and them 'heads get to hollerin
Stab me in the abdomen, Rambo dagger me
Put me out there, Greenfield massacre
Strip me ass naked, fiends is even reckless
Detroit nigga, crackheads keep weapons
Look at your life precious, it's hectic

Nigga if I made it to 8 Mile
You wouldn't understand the D
So I'mma reincarnate Obie
Put the same life in a different situation
Show you motherfuckers what a nigga facin'
If I made it to 8 Mile
You wouldn't understand the D
So I'mma reincarnate Obie
Put the same life in a different situation
Show you motherfuckers what a nigga facin'

I cross Mack nickels, a nigga straight
That's why I BS on the grind chasin cake
Niggas ain't shifty tonight, flippin white
So I "Blow" past them like Johnny Depp's life
I reach 7 Mile, it's already trouble
A drunk nigga smashed up a couple
Bodies in half, shit i ain't gawkin
I'm tryna get my ass on the Ave
8 Mile so close, but what do ya know
The nigga fled the scene
Who killed those folks
Witness point like I know that coat
Like I'm the one that splattered
Those people on the pole
Family members runnin up on the O
Police can't detain him, guns start aimin
Ain't shit changin nigga, my brain's hangin
You wouldn't know the D if
I met my destination

Nigga if I made it to 8 Mile
You wouldn't understand the D
So I'mma reincarnate Obie
Put the same life in a different situation
Show you motherfuckers what a nigga facin'
If I made it to 8 Mile
You wouldn't understand the D
So I'mma reincarnate Obie
Put the same life in a different situation
Show you motherfuckers what a nigga facin'
