Gimme A Second Lyrics - Lecrae

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 

Hey listen Cole talk that college talk 

Wayne talks gangs 

Jay(Jay Z) be 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 the 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, the 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 looking 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 wanna single a thing, I don't wanna single a thing 

Ain't got no kind of angle 

I ain't tryin play 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 

Photos 

I sound like the 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 play ball and smoke weed thought the world was funny 

I went to church a few times with my head on a 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:] 

Everything I do, I do for you 

I don't wanna single a thing, I don't wanna sing a thing 

Ain't got no kind of angle 

I ain't tryin play 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
