[Intro: Twisted Black]
Hey, pop
I'm sendin' this one out there to you, man
Hm, I don't know if it's goin' up or down but
I just want you to hear it
I just wish I had one minute with you, man
Uh
[Verse 1: Twisted Black]
Dear Father, how you doin' up in heaven or hell?
As for me, I'm in between, you see I'm writin' from jail
All is well, I don't complain 'cause I done made my own way
I'm learnin' to buck my chest and the chips fall what he made
But hey, I made some wrong turns out in the streets
Sellin' raw, shot in my jaw, and always countin' them sheeps
(But you know) Mama and grandma, I've been prayin' to the Lord
And I guess that them prayers saved me 'cause they was on one accord
(My life) Been full of drama, mama say I got your traits
She nеver really explainеd but exclaimed that I got no brakes
(And I know) It's hurtful for you when you see me make decisions
Puttin' paper in my pocket but lead me into collisions
(My vision) Has been distorted with weed smoke and the snortin'
And they said that every man's footsteps have been ordered
From the higher power, and I believe that's true
But I would do anything to have a minute with you, for real
[Chorus: Intense]
These people just see my face
But they really don't know my pain (Come walk with me)
And they say that the sun's gon' shine
But it seems that the sun won't shine on mine (Come talk with me)
If I just had a minute with you
I could tell you all the things that I've been through
If I just had a minute with you
If I just had a minute or two, yeah (Just one, one minute)
[Verse 2: Twisted Black]
Oh yeah, I got a wife too, I love her, but I'm like you
It's hard to express my real feelin's, but I like to
And boo be made a couple wrong moves when I was gone
But then, honey's only human and then life goes on
And I, try to swallow that, but it seems to regurgitate through my teeth sometimes
And then I speaks my mind
And that leaves baby real sad, I feel real bad
I blame you (Why?), for makin' me so real, dad
If I was cotton candy like the man she got with
Then it probably wouldn't bother me, but pop, I'm not it
And I love this girl to death and I would give her my breath
Like, even if I just had one puff left
And I try to tell her that, but then my actions don't match that
I try to play the role but baby's sharp and then she catch that
I wish that you can gimme the words to show her she's forgiven
And I ain't got no feelin's for nann one of them women I been with
[Chorus: Intense]
These people just see my face
But they really don't know my pain (Come walk with me)
And they say that the sun's gon' shine
But it seems that the sun won't shine on mine (Come talk with me)
If I just had a minute with you
I could tell you all the things that I've been through
If I just had a minute with you
If I just had a minute or two, yeah (Just one, one minute)
These people just see my face
But they really don't know my pain (Come walk with me)
And they say that the sun's gon' shine
But it seems that the sun won't shine on mine (Come talk with me)
If I just had a minute with you
I could tell you all the things that I've been through
If I just had a minute with you
If I just had a minute or two, yeah (Just one, one minute)
[Verse 3: Twisted Black]
Oh, mama, she doin' good, she a trooper for real
You remember we used to ride off in your coupé-a de ville?
I never could say that, hey, remember we used to play that
Charlie Brown song real loud on your 8-track?
If I could have a blunt and some Indian herb
That could elevate my mind 'til I can hear your words (Hear your words)
I would smoke it even though it kinda sounds absurd (Kinda sounds absurd)
I would mentally record each and every word
My parole officer would have to get mad that month
I would tell 'em, "Sir, I went to see my dad with that blunt"
And you would be proud of me too, 'cause I'm a stiff nigga like you
Remember you used to box? (Uh-huh) Well I can fight too
I got your bald spot, that's the fight I lost (Fight I lost)
See you wore that toupée, but then I shaved mine off (Shaved mine off)
See there's not time in these sixteen bars
So I can tell you pop how your son got these scars, just a moment with you
[Chorus: Intense]
These people just see my face
But they really don't know my pain (Come walk with me)
And they say that the sun's gon' shine
But it seems that the sun won't shine on mine (Come talk with me)
If I just had a minute with you
I could tell you all the things that I've been through
If I just had a minute with you
If I just had a minute or two, yeah (Just one, one minute)
These people just see my face
But they really don't know my pain (Come walk with me)
And they say that the sun's gon' shine
But it seems that the sun won't shine on mine (Come talk with me)
If I just had a minute with you
I could tell you all the things that I've been through
If I just had a minute
