Bryan August - Minute lyrics
[Intro: Geemmac] Sometimes I question why I keep going, its hard [Verse 1: Geemmac] I was born with my umbilical chord tied around my throat One minute more and f** I would have choked One minute would have pa**ed and I would have been the past Why daddy wasn't there is something I never asked Mama was crying but no she wasn't sad She was crying out her joy cause she was proud of what she had It was her and I but she didn't give a f** She wiped her fears and she wouldn't give up Then father met son and it was a different type of bond He promised himself that he wouldn't give up Or distant from him He broke his promise who knew his addiction was stronger than him And now I'm growing up And life is getting tough Im growing up to fast and dam i've had enough My life I would exchange for another if I could Nothings really changed I've just realized the truth [Chorus: Bryan August] Sometimes I just wish that that minute would have past And sometimes I just wish that I never would have last, Sometimes I just wish that I would of choked Insecurities underneath tell the truth in all my jokes [Verse 2: Geemmac] Sometimes I just wish that I'd swerve of the road so slam on the gas and my emotions I Implode Fall asleep to arguments and ready to explode I am tired of this life so I swerved of the road But I stopped on the break cause that minute didn't pa**, Theres a reason Im awake I'm just haunted by my past But I wipe my fears and I won't give up Just like my mother I can't give up So understand theres a reason for my life Theres a reason i don't drink nor pick up the pipe Theres a reason for my silence theres a reason why I fight Theres a reason I don't sleep every single night Cause now i've got big dreams and its all that I can see My mom said I'm unique and its all that I believe And i want to pay her back for every single day And every single night my dad put up a fight So I wipe my fears and i got to continue People claim they're there but they never contribute I'm giving it my all and they ain't give me nothing back Friends want to see me fall, well at least behind my back But they understand I don't do this for them I do it for my dad I and I do it cause its me The reason is my past the fact that I breath And for the people who always f**en believed [Chorus: Bryan August] Sometimes I just wish that that minute would have past And sometimes I just wish that I never would have last, Sometimes I just wish, that I would of would of choked, Insecurities underneath tell the truth in all my jokes [Verse 3 : Geemmac] But that minute didn't pa** so I will succeed Theres a reason for my past theres a reason why I breath, Theres a reason why I rap I have scars underneath The beat is always there and I have so much to speak A tree of broken branches and a kid with a dream A kid with a pa**ion and a kid who believes A kid who is strong but he's just sentimental But he's more than just a kid with rhymes and a pencil He's come a long way He's pouring out his heart But every body hates and it tears him apart But he won't give up, he won't give in He wipes his fears and he gets up again So go ahead and talk sh** behind my back Tell me that I s** and wish me bad luck But always have in mind and never forget That I do this for me and I don't do it for you [Chorus: Bryan August] Sometimes I just wish that that minute would have past And sometimes I just wish that I never would have last, Sometimes I just wish that I would of would of choked
