8 Mile Road

8 mile Road Date: Mon, Dec 21 2015 at 1:50 AM I hear the train coming An I'm chasing the train humming I see the smoke puffing I see the light in the dungeon I see fight Tussling I see might Hustling I see fright rumbling I'm on the railroad Following the trail to gold I inhale the pros I exhale the cons I hear my name called on the intercom The Voice of Megatron Behind me Deceptions Trying to make it to Cybertron Sweat in my palms An sweat in my arms Sweat on my face Tears smeared the Vision to Concentrate Running without hesitate No time to contemplate Got to set the record straight While in my headphones the record play Can't be a second late I see the pearly gates An Hells devilish face Laced Leg brace An ankle weights I can't catch a break Cause I'm trying to catch the trains pace I'm pushing people & devils out the way To catch some space My Angel on the train waving I'm running on the Pavement They yelling to me Salvation Gods good Graces Mercy & Greatness Glory & Gratefulness The Story already Created So I can't stop I feel like I'm going to drop My lungs feel clogged My head throbs But I'm holding to the Rod Shadow of wings lift me Demons trying to get me I'm flying towards the trains chimney A Seat made for me Empty But I got to catch the next stop So I'm flying to meet the train on the next depart Strength in me starts to shock Feel the strength in my heart I look an see who's all in the carts I see Rosa Parks I feel like I'm about to barf I'm almost there to meet my mark The train stops I walk up to the door
