Lyrics One Second (feat. H.E.R.) - H.E.R. , Stormzy

If you give me just one second of your time (Yo)
I could tell you stories 'bout my life
I've seen hope and I've seen struggle through these eyes (Yeah)
So give me just one second (Like) of your time (Yo)
One second to let it breathe (Let it breathe)
Just a second, a second is all I need (Oh yeah)
When you're questioning everything you believed
Then you're fighting with the devil in your dreams
One second just let me be (Let me be)
Let it pour, let it rain, let it bleed
Heavy is the head, but the pressure makes you heave
So you bill it cause the spirit of depression never sleeps (Yeah)
I am not the poster boy for mental health (I'm not)
I need peace of mind, I need to centre self
The cover of the NME, that shit made me resent myself
There's people tryin' to spread the word
And people that pretend to help
But how am I complaining when I'm blessed? (Ooh)
I get this daunting feeling on the days I'm on my best
When all these demons that I carry get to messin' on my head
So could you give me just a second just to get 'em off my chest, please?
If you give me just one second of your time
I could tell you stories 'bout my life
I've seen hope and I've seen struggle through these eyes
So give me just one second of your time (Yeah, like, like)
One second to recollect
Just a second, a second is all I get
I can't tell where I'm heading, I'm outta breath
All these early premonitions of my death (Ooh)
But I knew He had plan
Lord knows I'ma do it if I can
When I take a stand, they say I'm ruining my brand
But I could never give a fuck, that's just my duty as a man
So if I go on stay on stage at BRITS and tell the PM, she's a bitch
Then that's exactly what it is and I don't want no bloody stress for it
Mummy always said if there's a cause then I should fight for it
So yeah I understand but I don't think that I'm alright with it
Like yeah, cool, I get it
Yeah, I know I said it
But there's people fighting everyday and they don't get the credit
But it's cool man, that's just one of the stresses on my mind
To get this off my chest I need a second of your time
Please (If you give me just one second of your time)
I could tell you stories 'bout my life
I've seen hope and I've seen struggle through these eyes
Oh, give me just one second of your time
Ooh
Oh, just one second
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh
If you give me just one second of your time
I could tell you stories 'bout my life
I've seen hope and I've seen struggle through these eyes
So give me just one second of your time
So give me just one (Cool)
Just one second
So give me just one
Just one
Second
