4 Minutes

[Talking]

Hold Hold up Hold up

Slow slow down

Listen give me 10 minutes...

Well gimme 5 minutes.....aight

b-before you leave I just need these last 4 minutes..

[Verse 1]

Pardon me if I'm talking fast and stumbling all over my words

I heard you were leavin' town I thought I'd be the one to know first

If you have a minute let me talk to you and see what's going on

Don't say it's nothing when it's something that's gone wrong

Now let me explain but I don't know what to say cause I don't know what the hell happened

I come in the house to try to work it out and all you're doing

is packing

Close your suitcase let me think straight

Damn what could be the reason?

Baby talk me I'm almost outta time

[Chorus]

I only got 4 minutes to do what I gotta do to prove to you that I'm gonna do anything

Only got 4 minutes say what I gotta say to make you stay and show you that I done change

Cause in 4 minutes I'll never have my girl again

In 4 minutes Imma lose her to some other man

4 no less no more

I'm jus praying cause the clocks ticking

Only got 4 minutes to go

[Verse 2]

Who are these people I don't know in my house and they scratching my floors

Takin furniture outside and the U-Haul pull up to my door

What's the reason that I get this feelin that you can't keep it real with me

Is it cause of the prime relationships I had off in the streets?

Never mind that this is your conscience speaking and you need to get your girl back

You gotta find a way to try to get to her heart

I'm takin' suggestions I've learned my lesson

Think conscience you're my last lifeline

I'm down to my last second

[Chorus]

I only got 4 minutes to do what I gotta do to prove to you that I'm gonna do anything

I only got 4 minutes say what I gotta say to make you stay and show you that I done change (I'm a changed man)

Cause in 4 minutes I'll never have my girl again

In 4 minutes Imma lose her to some other man (I'll be all alone)

4 no less no more

I'm jus prayin cause the clocks ticking

Only got 4 minutes to go

[Bridge]

(I've done) I've done things in my past

I thought this love would last

But I can't let you go baby

You're my everything lady

The reason I smile and the reason I talk baby

The reason I breathe, the only one for me, yea

You can't go through with this

If you left me my life wouldn't exist

Cause I'm still in love with you

And that's my word I don't give a damn what you heard

Oh, baby I'll be true

I only got 4 minutes [echo]

And I'm running out of time

I only got 4 minutes [echo]

I only got 4 minutes

4 minutes I'll never have my girl again (I'll never have)

In 4 minutes (oh no) Imma lose her to some other man (Imma lose her)

4 (oo ho) no less no more (And I just can't take it I don't want it happen I won't let it happen)

Cause the clocks ticking

Only got 4 minutes to go (oh no)

Only got 4 minutes to tell you everything I love about you

4 minutes to say I need you, I can't live without you

I'm out of time gotta say what's on my mind

Just to keep you in my life

Aw, damn I'm outta time
