One More Minute - Ekoh

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 talkin' puff pass

They been gettin' 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 fuckin' 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

Breakin' 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 knockin'

I don’t need y’all to weigh on my soul

I ain’t answering the door or the phone, y’all can keep callin'

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

Breakin' down, I’ll never make it out so what’s one more minute, huh?
