jd_zw - 7th of august lyrics
verse 1
7th of august i’m at home and my phone’s on silent
me and bubbles agreed i’d take some time to rest after i do this project
yeah, d-mn, well its really complicated
i talk to her more often, trying not to break that promise
i might as well call the gang for a game of fifa whilst i’m on it
conversations with people beginning to lose meaning because i’m being distant
but i did say and i did say, i’d be cutting ties very soon… so please don’t call me distant
i’m not distant its none of my business
so don’t label me heartless, i’m not heartless , tony stark is heartless
i’m just painfully honest
guess you should have tried to become something to me before i became something
it makes sense if you think about it
i never planned to change but when i look around me all i see is change
since godfrey came from the k’s man he hasn’t been the same
probably hit call after every once or twice a month d-mn but there isn’t much to say
lets just say we’re both busy man , i’m the one to blame
ask anyone who knows us , you could swear we once brothers
back in high school we did everything together
took sh-ts together, ate together, hit the gym together, even bathed together
i won’t say no h0m- because we used to smash girls… that knew each other
trying to win has me losing my mind
like usain bolt trying to break records i keep track of time
time ticks when you’re sleeping too, just have that in mind
back in nursery school we used to sing “this little lamp of mine, imma let it shine” but i ain’t shining at all
i’ve been through dark times to become a shooting star
i’ve been in battlefields and came out with no battle scars
its called playing it smart and not playing it hard
the only wounds i have are the ones deep in my soul
its really hard to believe i came this far
comparisons came and left…some broke my heart
people i looked up to started kicking me down
been back stabbed by people i walked behind , i still haven’t figured that out
i laugh to think when i… i laugh to think i even have a backbone
all these followers but i don’t know who has my back
done pin pointing people because i don’t see the point no more
all i can do is be grateful because god keeps on opening these doors
on the 33rd line but i feel like there is so much more to know
verse 2
7th of august here’s one for my n-gga reo
he hit me up in the evening and told me he can’t cope with the pressure
we took an hour of real talk, i mean his my bro so i make time for him
more issues that people’s magazine but we always solve the puzzles
he went from riding the bench in zimbabwe to plain headlines in england at oswestry
and i told him he’d make it before it all happened
used to do cl-ssroom rap battles that i often lost to him
they made me better but he probably wouldn’t take the credit if i gave it to him
i can’t forget you man i’m glad that night we prayed together
so here’s one for the future and high hopes for our futures
mom i hope i make you proud when you hear this
i know our current situation isn’t suit for a queen
but its okay , i’m gathering bricks so i can build you a palace
and put all your favorite scents and books and colours and foods and dresses and shoes in it
i hate how dad treats and i swear if he touches you again i’ll be the one to k!ll him
god forgive me i know i always fall short on that third commandment
he’s my pops and all… but i just find it hard to love him
my aunts and uncles call it tough love but they don’t know the half of it
so there you go and there you have it…
just because i don’t say a lot doesn’t mean there’s not a lot to say
i grew up listening to r kelly so please don’t p-ss me off
there’s a lot of things i keep at bay
feelings i can’t tell you about over the phone
when i express how i feel i want you to feel it too
i’ve opened up to you so on your way out don’t forget to close the door
verse 3
nah nah nah, hollup… so you thought i was i finished?
if i don’t change the game, then n0body else can do it
i’m not drizzy dray but imma get you in your feelings
sh-t so good even keke’s gonna wanna hear this
on the verge of becoming the best in my country as if its not apparent
as if you don’t see the fire emoji’s when my fans leave a comment
tell me and i’m wack and i couldn’t be bothered
me and malvin have the game set play’ all we have to do is execute it
we’re like micheal jordan and scottie pippen
only this time 6 rings isn’t enough we want 10 fingers
its room for the og’s if you want to sit in our section
we’d rather p-ss blunts and not p-ss judgement’s
just want to thank russel for being a big brother man although we’re cousins
red wine blood like we’re four cousins
always told me if i had faith i could make it happen
and those values stuck to me man and i’ll make it happen
people say me and zulu should stop kidding around and grow up
but mom isn’t worried because she knows us too well
when its time to be serious best believe me man we can be serious
by the time you hear this my n-gga you’ll be down in gweru
for 3 months man sh-t, that’s a long time without me and you
no h0m- (laughs)
yeah… i haven’t spoken to tendo for long, its been a couple weeks
feels like we only talk when there’s something one of us needs
she doesn’t feel my urgency at all, i think its because her family’s rich
she’s on that first plane to a netherlands as soon as august hits
reggie told me that i love you… well eish that’s tricky topic, hate to talk about it but anyways since i’m on it imma talk about it
i really what…what we could have been based on things people might have seen
i think its better that we wonder what we could have been based on things that happened between you and me
yeah… 14 july and we’re driving around the city in your chevy
i was more than happy when i heard that n-gga you claimed to love moved to england
thinking you’d finally listen , maybe break up with him but you never listened and you still don’t listen
a couple weeks later you broke up with him and you didn’t tell me about that separation
and when i heard about it i had to come through for you because you know you’re my hitta and all
we hadn’t talked in months over some birthday issues , its always the small things we fight about
always trying to hit me with that “i don’t give a f-ck att-tude”
taking advantage of the fact that you know my heart belongs to you
mxm… sh-t, that’s some deep sh-t right there you know, i swear you always do this sh-t to me you know
reggie told me that i love you and i keep telling him not in that way
and honestly speaking i had feelings for you but back in the day
been in the car with so many times alone too many times but the words i love you never came out , never seemed to escape
now i can go for months without even saying hey
yeah…its quite crazy ain’t it
your dad bought a benz so maybe when it rains outside
not in your eyes this time i mean, when it rains outside
we can take it for a spin without the rain tires and make it slide
maybe rotate until we get tired
skrrr skrrr , haha… you know that kind of thing
you bring the best out of me without even trying…
okay, okay, okay man this time i’m really going
but before i leave when i die… please tell my mom that she’s an artist
she built my character and sculptured me to be the hardest
yeah, this is jd recording live from waterfalls at what?… one past twelve in the evening
with my n-gga choc , all the extra grinding … yeah
so when you hear this i hope i make everyone proud because you’ve been supportive
after midnight, imma catch you all in december
[ outro ]
i’ve been on roads, some roads roads, i’ve been on a road, i’ve been on a road
i’ve been on a road…
i’ve been on a road, yeah, i’ve been on a road…
so this is me , this is me
end
