At 18 years I left home ventured far Lonely helpless I stared at stars In my darkest broke state Tavern -bound beer in hand Munching cheap peanuts I'd stand Daily streets I'd pound Crowds bustling all around Life I thought so dull and profound Then hip -hop came my way Hooked on its strong rhythmic sway Rhymes I mastered flow refined Time -traveled back to '73, California, The West Coast my newfound utopia Life's an eight -mile run Each step a nod to what's done In Eminem's footsteps I trod Wrote my first rap a story to be awed 真诚的灵魂 相互碰撞才显得深沉 热血的信仰 因为坚定才发出光芒 我找到方向 准备启航 Eight miles of rap soul 因为痛过才流的泪水 是多么珍贵 青春无畏 不醉不归 Eight miles of hip-hop OG 致敬那些奋斗的年岁 只因梦纯粹 放弃徘徊 勇敢去追 You are the light of my dreams One afternoon Tossing in bed sleep evaded me I envisioned a war -free world A peaceful haven a sight so grand I pondered my mission To change the world through rap's precision My rap it held a noble aim Gone was decadence replaced by grit and claim While others' lyrics were rife with vice Mine brimmed with love dreams sacrifice Born not to fall nor to rule with might I'd cling to love my guiding light Rhythm words Skills sounds rhymes All screamed my mindset my defining times Regret welled for past decay But courage flared to lead the way Leaving yester -self behind I stride ahead on my eight -mile grind 真诚的灵魂 相互碰撞才显得深沉 热血的信仰 因为坚定才发出光芒 我找到方向 准备启航 Eight miles of rap soul 因为痛过才流的泪水 是多么珍贵 青春无畏 不醉不归 Eight miles of hip-hop OG 致敬那些奋斗的年岁 只因梦纯粹 放弃徘徊 勇敢去追 You are the light of my dreams Eight miles of rap soul 因为痛过才流的泪水 是多么珍贵 青春无畏 不醉不归 Eight miles of hip-hop OG 致敬那些奋斗的年岁 只因梦纯粹 放弃徘徊 勇敢去追 You are the light of my dreams 坚持的意义 或许微不足道 但只要你去做 一切都会变得美好 要相信自己 Walk the eight miles Eight miles of rap soul 因为痛过才流的泪水 是多么珍贵 青春无畏 不醉不归 Eight miles of hip-hop OG 致敬那些奋斗的年岁 只因梦纯粹 放弃徘徊 勇敢去追 You are the light of my dreams
