Lyrics Empire Cast – One More Minute (Hakeem Version)
Text:
My life flashes
Ahead is my desertion
This trigger finger makes me contemplate if I deserve it
I’d be damn if my family would take the hit
Tell me this ain’t the conclusion
My body can barely react
I’m thinking it’s just an illusion
But the bullet is telling me facts
‘Cause that’s my girl and that’s my kid
If they ain’t breathing, I ain’t living
Can’t express the feeling
Praying give me one more minute
What’s going through my mind
I can’t even define
Gotta put up a fight, ’cause I ain’t ready to die
In the blink of an eye
Open my eyes, it’s not my time
Breathing for life, I’m praying high
All I need is time
(One more minute)
Give me some time
(One more minute)
I need some time
(One more minute)
Give me some time
(One more minute)
‘Cause all I need is time
(One more minute)
Give me some time
I need some time
(One more minute)
Give me some time
(Just one more minute)
‘Cause all I need is time
Just take me back so I can think for 60 seconds
Back when I seen inside Tiana’s eyes, she needs protection
Just take me back, when I was rapping, I could see perfection
Take these fragments out my lungs so I can breathe for 60 seconds
Why me? I don’t get this
Yeah, I get that I’m not sinless
I’m not perfect and I understand I can live life so senseless
I don’t get this
I mean what’s a prince without a princess?
What’s a prince without a princess?
Worthless
What’s going through my mind
I can’t even define
Gotta put up a fight, ’cause I ain’t ready to die
In the blink of an eye
Open my eyes, it’s not my time
Breathing for life, I’m praying high
All I need is time
(One more minute)
Give me some time
(One more minute)
I need some time
(One more minute)
Give me some time
(One more minute)
‘Cause all I need is time
(One more minute)
Give me some time
(One more minute)
I need some time
(One more minute)
Give me some time
(Just one more minute)
‘Cause all I need is time
Give me one more pen and one more sentence
So I can write and spit just one more lyric
Just let me speak, I want more clearance
I’m begging, I’m screaming, just one more minute
What’s going through my mind
I can’t even define
Gotta put up a fight, ’cause I ain’t ready to die
In the blink of an eye
Open my eyes, it’s not my time
Breathing for life, I’m praying high
All I need is time
(One more minute)
Give me some time
(One more minute)
I need some time
(One more minute)
Give me some time
(One more minute)
‘Cause all I need is time
(One more minute)
Give me some time
(One more minute)
I need some time
(One more minute)
Give me some time
(Just one more minute)
‘Cause all I need is time
You know, we came from the bottom to the top
Yeah, Empire
