Empire Cast
One More Minute (Blake & Tiana Version)
[Verse 1: Chet Hanks]
My life flashes
Ahead is my desertion
This trigger finger makes me contemplate if I deserve it
I'll 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 a conclusion
My body can barely react
I'm thinking it's just an illusion
But the bullet is telling me facts
'Cause my whole world is in a spin
If they ain't breathing, I ain't living
Can't express this feeling
Praying, give me one more minute ya
[Chorus: Serayah]
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
[Verse 2: Chet Hanks]
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 because I think I learned my lesson
Pardon 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 prince without a princess?
What's a prince without a princess?
It's worthless
[Chorus: Serayah]
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
[Hook: Chet Hanks]
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
[Chorus: Serayah]
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
[Outro]
One more minute
One more, just one more
One more minute
I need one more, just one more
One more minute
One more minute
Hey
Just one more minute
Yeah
