The 8 Year Affair

Here we are once more

Meeting up along this journey

As I express what's going on in this mind of mine

And sharing this time with I, you know?

Let's go

I've always made it clear

That you would be here with me in this Eight Year Affair

So you should have no fear

'Cause I will be there, no burden you alone shall bear

I've always made it clear

That you would be there with me in this Eight Year Affair

So don't ever worry now

Don't ever worry now

The spirit of Jacob, the spirit of Hugh

Spirit of Macintosh, that spirit never moved

The spirit of Marley, yeah that spirit fought

You have the spirit of Walter, oh they will assault you

Sit and pick apart too, you know the biggest mouth

Deh pon dem freedom of speech, we have freedom of thought

Seven Year Itch drop, nuh even cuss a "claat"

But you still coulda feel the passion him a talk

I hear the trouble coming, I say the trouble start

Empresses and princesses, battles for hearts

Knowing all that I want deh right within ma grasp

And only my fault can break this thing apart

And so I see my weaknesses when I see my past

And I see they façade, that's why me go so hard

And knowing all these rivers that Jah get me 'cross

And so I never lost

I've got to keep it in my lane 'cause all the praise you gain

Can be taken all the same, I've seen it happen to Usain

That made no sense to me because look at his resume

Ready to say you finish just 'cause of a second place

Well I guess those are the problems that the legends face

Imagine staring at the mirror in a legend's face

They say get used to it, I'm moving at a legend's pace

In any case, what is a legend in this present maze?

Six days of voicing, no rest until the seventh day

Then drop the album pon dem, hoping say it resonate

Because things set a way, my mind up in this present state

Sorry I made you wait

I'd like to welcome you to 'The 8 Year Affair'

Yes

And I thank you for being here with I&I, you know?

Along this journey
