For a Second Lyrics by ILISH

2019

[Intro]
Let me close my eyes
And  just kill my pride
To  thank God I’m alive

[Verse 1]
First off I'm never doing fine
All inside of my mind
But  I make you smile
Even  if we never met
They say that I got good vibes
I'm  just on my grind
Spreading faith in my lines
They respect my shine
Even when I'm slipping up
They  tell me boy slow down
You about to mess up
That's love on the real side
But hurt on the flip side
Cuz I will never fit in
Since I got a label
That they love to critic
Yet in my inside
I love that I'm on the right side

(x2) Do you even listen to the words
Did you really pay attention to the verse

Just got married
And returned to my home
Before my wedding
I was stressed looking for my zone
Had the chance to perform
With the homie Angie Rose
Then I called my girl
To the stage and proposed
Should of seen everybody in the place to be
Friends and family they was rooting me
I mean us it's not about me anymore
New level in this life I unlocked that door
Doing 75 with a cop behind me
Unpaid ticket but I feel outstanding
Birdman tip cuz I'm feeling lavish
Crazy hair but no Lenny Kravitz
Crazy world we all seem to perish
Still dreaming I will wake up in Paris
Yet I can't stop fighting with my parents
Maybe cuz I never ever finished college
I don't even know I been abusing that term
Dropped out almost at the end of my term
I'm sorry I'm a fighter who be reaching long term
Goals in this life that I earned
But I only seem to burn
Man I wanna live
Tell me can I just live
While I'm learning and yearning
To the location called peace
And accomplishments of dreams yeah
And you might feel
You'll never find your way in life
But let me lead you
To that peace of mind
With the truth and life
Just hold on never let go
And let the peace fall
All over your soul

[(X2) Hook]
Let me stop for a second and just close my eyes
Let me stop for a second and just kill my pride
Let me stop for a second and thank God I'm alive
(X2) Let me stop for a second

[Verse 2]
And I barely ever know how to talk to you
These conversations got me so confused
Were good then fight next thing alright
I should know by now how to make things right
This not only for my girl
But also all the peeps
Searching for nirvana
Yeah I want that peace
I made friends I loved
Came thru in the clutch
Never snitched out
Also ran and duck
When the going got hard
We was in that mud
Now a days we don't call
Or even try to pick up
Oh lord
What happened to the real ones
Why do friends tend to give up
The moment you grow up
Truth is people never really know us
Everyone fades like the end of a song
That's truth you could never run from
And I see that you feeling so alone
No ever could relate to your soul
But that's a lie a right there
Deceiving you through fear
Don't ever trust that mess
That'll lead you to a wreck
(x2) Came in the game
To show everyone change
Tired of the lies
And the talk of the Caine
I don't even care
If you mention my name
I'm promoting the fame
And the name of a king

[(X2) Hook]
Let me stop for a second and just close my eyes
Let me stop for a second and just kill my pride
Let me stop for a second and thank God I'm alive
(X2) Let me stop for a second
