The 8 Year Affair lyrics with English Translations






[Intro] 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

[Chorus] I've always made it clear That you would be here with me in this 8 Year Affair So you should have no fear 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

[Verse 1] 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 could a 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 fasade, that's why me go so hard And knowing all these rivers that Jah get me 'cross And so I never lost

[Chorus] Because you've always made it clear That you would be here with me in this 8 Year Affair So I shall have no fear 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

[Verse 2] 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

[Chorus] Haven't I always made it clear That you would be here with me in this 8 Year Affair You should have no fear 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

[Outro] I'd like to welcome you to "The 8 Year Affair" Yes And I thank you for being here with I and I, you know? Along this journey
