Protoje - The 8 Year Affair lyrics

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 8 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 8 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

Because you've always made it clear
That you would be there with me
In this 8 Year Affair
So I should have no fear
'Cause you will be there
No burden I alone shall bear
You've always made it clear
That you would be here with me
In this 8 Year Affair so I never worry now
Jah is the glory now

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

Haven't Ialways made it clear
That you would be here with me
In this 8 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 8 Year Affair
So don't ever worry now don't ever worry

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
