5 Mins Video (MV)

Just give me 5 minutes, I need 5 minutes to clear my thoughts
Do you know how many wars I fought
Give me 5 minutes, 5 minutes and just leave me alone
Grandpa died, sometimes I still smell his cologne

Ask me to deliver, like I'm Karl Malone
On mics is 3-2, when I get in my zone
I don't think you understand the type of things I go through
So it's best to put it all in these vocals

We hear all that chatter, trying to say that we local
Drown all the noise, cause they already know that we global
The vision they couldn't see, like when I wear bifocals
But yet I still try to be hopeful

I'm telling y'all, 5 minutes just to jot this down
A couple doors open up, but I knock them down
5 minutes just to know, we ain't playing around
Now the jokes on you, when I address these clowns

I grow tired, but they say that that patience is a virtue
They ain't lie when they say, that that truth might hurt you
The first cut, is always the one that cuts the deepest
I just need 5 minutes to complete this, so peep this

I mean what I said, and I said what I meant this
We hide what's inside, so we built those fences
They said I was washed up, but they forgot to rinse this
I ain't sold on what you're selling, so don't try to convince this

I'm here now, it is not a coincidence
If two dogs are the same, can you spot the difference
In this instance, just know that my pain is vengeance
These 5 minutes will turn a grown man, into an infant

Crying out for help, I just need y'all to listen
Please just give me 5 more minutes
I need 5 minutes, 5 minutes just to clear my thoughts
Do you know how many wars I've lost

Just 5 minutes, 5 minutes and just leave me alone
Who knew that that 5 minutes, would've burnt their home
I ain't got over the fact, that they could've been me
What's the proper way to know, that you already grieved

Best believe what you want, you can achieve
Nothing's new under the sun, but those tricks up they sleeve
Just leave me alone, see I'm begging you please
Just save a little room for me, just give me 5 minutes

5 minutes, I ain't playing around
No joke when I say, we exposing these clowns
I can't wait to be the king, so just give me my crown
5 minutes in one take, when I was laying this down

Won't say to my face, when I'm not around
See the flow is COVID, the way I'm shutting it down
Those nets, we be cutting them down
This is our year, it's only right that I make this clear

No two paths are the same
You could plan to build a garden, the way they threw dirt on my name
And it's a shame it be the ones, that look just like you
Do much for some people, not once do they thank you

Please excuse all this venom, just say that I thank you
Thankful, better yet, I would say that I'm grateful
If this is food for thought, better grab you a plate full
Buffet ideas, but it's never this tasteful

In 5 minutes, I'll be shutting this down
You won't smoke, ain't no turning back, when they say I'm puffing it now
Shouldn't be surprised, cause I ain't trusting it now
Got my house back to a home, I'm addressing it now

Just 5 minutes, 5 minutes to clear my thoughts
Do you know how many battles I lost
Give me 5 minutes, 5 minutes and just leave me alone
It only take 5 minutes to get me back in my zone

This verse is like a run on, I forgot those commas
Only thing come out of your mouth, is gossip and drama
I'ma stay humble and get better, put that on my mama
I know it's sharks out there, but watch for piranhas

The dinner I cook up, 5 quarts I serve it
Wasn't given anything, but yet I deserve it
Searching in the wrong spots, but I felt my purpose
I ain't come this far, to get this far

Exceeded expectations, to not get this far
Rewind that a couple times, cause that was a bar
My driving determination, cruise control to a car
Clearing my head, hard not to get ahead

I ain't gon' stay here no longer, see you heard what I said
When that bull come my way, all I see is red
I can't help it, like the harp, I can't control my anger
Wife asked me to hold it down, said I'll be your anchor

Just give me 5 minutes, all that baggage is not my fault
Do you know how many songs in the vault
See that price that you pay, it's not worth it
Cause it come with a cost

Cut those close to me, too many lines were crossed
Anybody top 5, whether dead or alive
I'm sick of all these lists, cause they never provide
Add it up, see they try to divide

They know we stronger together, when we all eat from the same pie
See this stress is unhealthy, like coke to a fry
Getting close, and I'm almost finished
I said this before, all I need is about 5 more minutes

5 minutes just to clear my mind
I couldn't see nothing good ahead
See I was mentally blind, mentally blocked
Now I got the game on lock

I never would've answered when opportunity knocked
See there's no stress involved, I'm Ron Artest to y'all,
In this place in a brawl, I'm a threat to all
These keys will even call, at cause Alicia to fall

Don't even call if we never even spoke before
Playground legend like Earl, this man a GOAT for sure
5 minutes, 5 minutes to clear my thoughts
Do you know how many wars I lost

Just 5 minutes
