One More Minute

(album: The D3tour - 2021)

Most times I don't really give myself credit
I built a lot for myself in this wild game
And when they said that I was never gonna make it, didn't ever get discouraged
I just pushed it and I'm still playing
Like I don't go home yet, ain't no point when I'm there, I don't get no rest
And I've been ready to die, like I don't care what's next
Motherfucker, you could take the stress

Fuck that
And everyone talking all kinds of mess until I bust back
I 'bout to be next on rotation, they talking puff pass
They been getting high on the shit that I spit so much that they calling it drug rap, yeah
Elevated and I can't come down
When I was younger, they would joke and say I can't come 'round
Now when I step onto the stage, they pull their cameras out, like motherfucker, who's laughing now huh?
Giving it all I got and I'm feeling lately, I gotta be
On top of my fucking game to prove anybody who doubted me is wrong but they been judging, acting like I'm not allowed to be myself and all who don't support that individuality
I'm balancing, the love and the limit of what I'm bound to be
I'm 'bout to be on top of the bottom so calling out to me
The boundaries I'm pushing more trying to be happy now I see
I focus on the ones who hate more than the ones who proud of me
Now they telling me I'm fucked up
Okay, tell me something that I don't know
Ten months spent therapy searching, a couple thousand dollars later and I still am feeling so low
So fuck that, I've been dancing on the edge, kid
Tell my girl that I'm back off the meds, yeah
And godspeed to anybody who want it with me when I turn to write to get my head clear
This shit will kill you if you let it
But what's one more minute, huh?

They gon' sit and watch you while you come undone
I've got no one left around to hold me up
So fuck what they said, you hating me now, just wait 'till I'm finished
Breaking down, I'll never make it out so what's one more minute, huh?

And they gon' try their best to break in your soul
Fake the friendships take what they can get and they go
You're on your own
If you're thinking that the music is hard, just try putting on a smile while you're falling apart, yeah
And everybody that you know is acting two-faced
Showing love but they waiting for you to break down
Telling me that you hope I been doing great and it's funny cuz back in the day all y'all would hate, wow
It's when you're getting too close and your shit is too real, they gon' always come around knocking
I don't need y'all to weigh on my soul
I ain't answering the door or the phone, y'all can keep calling
I'm feeling it grow and know it's dangerous
I watch the follows and numbers and love multiply
And that's a trade off for everything that I give cuz it's really some days when I start to miss my older life
Yeah, it's real facts, and the career doing well, I just feel bad
Mental health going down the drain and I'm afraid I'm giving time that I know I'll never get back
And the money don't fix it, great, but you can't afford to know your limits
And every sign telling me I should stop, but, hey, I made it this far
What's one more minute?

They gon' sit and watch you while you come undone
I've got no one left around to hold me up
So fuck what they said, you hating me now, just wait 'till I'm finished
Breaking down, I'll never make it out so what's one more minute, huh?
