One More Minute (From "Empire"/Hakeem, Blake & Tiana Version)
Lyrics
My life flashes
Ahead is my desertion
His finger trigger makes me contemplate if I deserve it
I'd be damned if my family would take the hit
So be a man and step in front of this angry man without a purpose
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
Cuz that's my girl & that's my kid
If they ain't breathing I ain't livin
Can't express the feelin
Prayin give me one more minute ya
Lost all control in the blink of an eye
Just a single thought went across my mind
I'm asking I'm begging I'm pleading just for one more minute
One more minute
Eyes opened up no it's not my time
Need to make a choice am I willing to fight
I'm asking I'm begging I'm pleading just for one more minute
One more minute
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 me back so I can repent I think I learned my lesson
Why me I don't get this
Yeah I get that I'm not sinless
I ain't perfect and I understand I can live life so senseless
I don't get this (I don't get this)
I mean what's a price without a princess
What's a prince without a princess
It's worthless
Lost all control in the blink of an eye
Just a single thought went across my mind
I'm asking I'm begging I'm pleading just for one more minute
One more minute
Eyes opened up no it's not my time
Need to make a choice am I willing to fight
I'm asking I'm begging I'm pleading just for one more minute
One more minute
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
