"8 Year Freestyle" lyrics
Yeah, yeah
I don't smoke weed, but I'm keeping it blunt
I know what I need but do I know what I want?
Do I know myself?
Do I know my heart?
Do I know my soul?
Do I do my part? (Uh)
I've been making music for eight years
For six of those years I was shedding tears
Wondering why I'm not where I wanna be yet
But now I'm right here
Patience to persevere, I had to conquer my fears
And it's clear that God is watching over me
And your time is your time when it's supposed to be
A lot of pain in my past could've broken me
But there's hope for you, 'cause there's hope for me (Uh)
I'm cut for this, no Band-Aid
It took me eight years to build this fan base
You can't dim my life down, even with a lampshade
My life is like a book
And I'm not even close to the last page
See I'm still on the first one
It's only the beginning
Forgive me for my sinning or if I was ever tripping
Or if I was ever thinking that living wasn't fulfilling
'Cause even when I be losing, I'm feeling like I be winning (Uh)
I'm the hero
I used to feel like the villain
I'm dealing with all my feelings and I don't wanna conceal it
'Cause now I know what I'm building
Inspiring all the children to use the life there given
Committed to make a difference
See I done making songs about girls who did me wrong
'Cause when I look back, I did the same thing all along
That's called accountability, maturity
Don't let other people bring you down
With their own insecurities
Happiness is the best currency
I make the money work for me, and anything that burdens me
This verse is like surgery
I'm cutting open anything in my heart that's still hurting me
I'm done holding back, you know Zach Diamond
But you don't know Zach
Society creates low self esteem
They give you a salary so you forget about your dreams
Bribing you with money to lose your soul in the process
Social media makes you feel like everything's a contest
Like who's winning?
And who's better than who?
But your not better than me, and I'm not better than you
We're all equal, and all people
My life's a movie, welcome to the prequel
The way things are going, I can't wait for the sequel
Careful with my words, 'cause I know the tongue is lethal
Positive affirmations, positive affrimations
Had to master the basics, had to master my patience
Won't dim my light
So you know I'll be shining
My first name Zach and my last name Diamond
I don't smoke weed, but I'm keeping it blunt
I know what I need but do I know what I want?
Do I know myself?
Do I know my heart?
Do I know my soul?
Do I do my part? (Uh)
I've been making music for eight years
For six of those years I was shedding tears
Wondering why I'm not where I wanna be yet
But now I'm right here
Patience to persevere, I had to conquer my fears
And it's clear that God is watching over me
And your time is your time when it's supposed to be
A lot of pain in my past could've broken me
But there's hope for you, 'cause there's hope for me (Uh)
I'm cut for this, no Band-Aid
It took me eight years to build this fan base
You can't dim my life down, even with a lampshade
My life is like a book
And I'm not even close to the last page
See I'm still on the first one
It's only the beginning
Forgive me for my sinning or if I was ever tripping
Or if I was ever thinking that living wasn't fulfilling
'Cause even when I be losing, I'm feeling like I be winning (Uh)
