One More Minute (From "Empire"/Hakeem, Blake & Tiana Version)

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
