Minutes

[Intro]

"Why is Brother Ali so criminally slept on?" reads every tweet ever

[Verse]

As of this day

I've dropped five albums, three EPs, and three mixtapes

Without a single mistake

Which outwardly sounds just great, but— (For just a minute)

Let me get you to think about it this way

Sometimes over-analysis ​give me paralysis

I write till my hands got calluses and— (For just a minute)

That's what this long radio silence ​in-between albums is

I need to learn to balance this, master this thesis

You don't only have to drop masterpieces, you can master little pieces

Speak to thе people ​on your handcrafted bеats for just— (For just a minute)

Get off your hands and knees and just release 'em

Don't rewind 'em, don't even write 'em

Don't be mindin' if there's mistakes in 'em

Just spit the straight venom— (For just a minute)

Even if they're not that venomous

Just think how quick a minute is, and pretend nobody's listenin'

Then sneak it in your timeline like a secret

So that even just the realest people peep it

And see if you don't weed out your one and only weakness

(For just a minute)
