Stormzy, H.E.R. - One Second lyrics

If you give me just one second of your time
(Yo) i could tell you stories 'bout my life
(True story) 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
(Devil in your dreams, ooh)
One second, just let me be (Let me be)
Let it pour, let it rain, let it bleed
(Uh, huh) 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
(Uh, huh) 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 (Ohh)
But how am I complaining when I'm blessed?
(O oh) i get this daunting feeling on the
Days I'm on my best
When all these demons that I carry
Get to messin' with 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
(O oh) but I knew He had plan (Uh, huh)
Lord knows I'ma do it if I can (Lord knows)
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 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 stripes 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 every day 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 out 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, ooh, ooh ooh ooh
Ooh, just one second, ooh ooh ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, oh oh oh oh oh, ooh ooh
Ooh oh, ooh ooh ooh ooh, ohh

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 just one second
So give me just one just one second
