Lyrics

0:01If you give me just one second of your time (Yo)
0:05I could tell you stories 'bout my life (True story)
0:10I've seen hope and I've seen struggle through these eyes (Yeah)
0:15So give me just one second (Like) of your time (Yo)
0:22One second to let it breathe (Let it breathe)
0:24Just a second, a second is all I need (Oh, yeah)
0:27When you're questioning everything you believed
0:29Then you're fighting with the devil in your dreams (Devil in your dreams, ooh)
0:31One second, just let me be (Let me be)
0:34Let it pour, let it rain, let it bleed (Uh-huh)
0:37Heavy is the head, but the pressure makes you heave
0:39So you bill it 'cause the spirit of depression never sleeps (Yeah)
0:41I am not the poster boy for mental health (I'm not)
0:44I need peace of mind, I need to centre self (Uh-huh)
0:46The cover of the NME, that shit made me resent myself
0:49There's people tryin' to spread the word and people that pretend to help (Ohh)
0:51But how am I complaining when I'm blessed? (Ooh)
0:53I get this daunting feeling on the days I'm on my best
0:56When all these demons that I carry get to messin' with my head
0:58So could you give me just a second just to get 'em off my chest, please?
1:01If you give me just one second of your time
1:04I could tell you stories 'bout my life
1:09I've seen hope and I've seen struggle through these eyes
1:14So give me just one second of your time (Yeah, like, like)
1:20One second to recollect
1:23Just a second, a second is all I get
1:25I can't tell where I'm heading, I'm outta breath
1:28All these early premonitions of my death (Ooh)
1:30But I knew He had plan (Uh-huh)
1:33Lord knows I'ma do it if I can (Lord knows)
1:35When I take a stand, they say I'm ruining my brand
1:37But I could never give a fuck, that's just my duty as a man
1:40So if I go on stage at BRITS and tell the PM she's a bitch
1:42Then that's exactly what it is and I don't want no bloody stripes for it
1:45Mummy always said if there's a cause then I should fight for it
1:47So, yeah, I understand, but I don't think that I'm alright with it
1:50Like yeah, cool, I get it
1:51Yeah, I know I said it
1:52But there's people fighting every day and they don't get the credit
1:54But it's cool, man, that's just one of the stresses on my mind
1:57To get this out my chest I need a second of your time, please
2:00If you give me just one second of your time
2:04I could tell you stories 'bout my life
2:08I've seen hope and I've seen struggle through these eyes
2:13Oh, give me just one second of your time
2:20Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
2:26Ooh, just one second, ooh-ooh-ooh
2:30Ooh, ooh, ooh, oh-oh
2:35Oh-oh-oh, ooh-ooh
2:38Ooh-oh, ooh-ooh
2:46Ooh-ooh, ohh
3:19If you give me just one second of your time

So give me just one—
Just one second
