Gimme A Second

[Intro] Gimme a second, gimme a second yeah Gimme a second, listen what I'm sayin to you Uh huh, listen, gimme a second All I need is a second yeah Gimme a second, uh yeah [Verse 1] Hey listen Cole talk that college talk Wayne talks gangs Jay-z's talkin' money mayne and (Kan) 'Ye talk fame And people say I talk about the same ole thang Reason that I sound the same cause the truth don't change Look, people get it twisted like a lemon in a spirit If I ain't talking killin' I must be talking bout healin' And I ain't talking bout how Jesus gonna make me a million With my hands to the ceiling I got that spiritual feelin' Head bowed down, knees to the floor You a Christian and you rap? That must be the way you flow - No I talk reality like mama on her death bed The birth of a child, a soldier losing his left leg Who gon write songs to give him hope in his chair Addicted to pain killers, wife left last year Your favorite rapper was probably tryin' to make his next hit Talking look at what I got, who I shot and who I tip Couldn't be more common if them boys made sense Couldn't be more common if Serena was they chick And this is not a diss, this how reality sound Let it off my mind, this how my mentality sound [Hook] Everything I do, I do for you I don't want a single thing, I don't want a single thing Ain't got no kind of angle I ain't tryin play you, you ain't gotta know my name You ain't gotta know my name But in my short time on this Earth I done died, been rebirthed And I know this sounds strange to you So give me a little time, let me spit a couple lines And I promise it might just change you too [Verse 2] I sound like a mad rapper cause I'm crazy The radio be like "we love you", but they never play me I be doin' shows like "you ain't even gotta pay me" I just wanna spread the same message that done saved me You see I probably grew up just like you Tellin' my heroes "Man, I wanna be just like you" I got in trouble went to court Judge showed me couple inmates and he told me "Man, they started off just like you" I never rolled around strapped I was busy chasing girls and money I played ball and smoked weed, thought the world was funny I went to church a few times with my head on the swivel And I was lookin' for the bad ones that sat in the middle I couldn't remember a sermon, I never caught the spirit And if Christians was tryin' to rap then I'm not tryin' to hear it I never would've imagined that I would be rhymin' About the same God that I couldn't confide in Never planned to get married, raise a family, help kids grow up Visit people in prison, I was busy tryin' to blow up But see, now I'm unimpressed with the way these folks dress Or the engine in the truck, all I want is soul rest And I'm so blessed, look at what He did to me How could I keep this to myself? Somebody bled for me Nah, you just gon' have to hate this Cause God's the only reason I'm able to say this [Hook]
