Bizzle - 15 Seconds Lyrics
Lyrics
Yea its Bizzle the bloggers say I only got 15 seconds of fame
Boy am I glad it ain't up to you
Let's see what God got to say about it
Lets go
They say I only got 15 seconds
Just 15 seconds, just 15 seconds of fame
Okay than watch what I do with it
Ima get it poppin till my 15 seconds up man
Give me my 15 seconds of fame
Just 15 seconds just 15 seconds of fame
Okay now watch what I do with it
Ima show it only take 15 seconds to change
It only take 15 seconds in the bed
Before a sperm cell get to swimming and hit an egg
9 months later she laying in a different bed
Like it a hinner she grinning
Kissing on an infants head
It only takes 15 seconds to end up dead
Cause I told you don't go to that party, but you went instead
Or cause you was too big
Didn't know what some nigga said
Less than 15 between slipping and hitting your head
In 15 seconds your future can become your past
You can put the weed down and make this next hit your last
Put the drink down
This would be the last if you had
A look up 15 years and it still in your hand
15 seconds ago you hated
When all 15 bars now I am the greatest
15 seconds from becoming your baby
Now I ain't going nowhere sucker I'm here to stay
They say I only got 15 seconds
Just 15 seconds, just 15 seconds of fame
Okay than watch what I do with it
Ima get it poppin till my 15 seconds up man
Give me my 15 seconds of fame
Just 15 seconds just 15 seconds of fame
Okay now watch what I do with it
Ima show it only take 15 seconds to change
It only would've took 15 seconds to call the cops
When you saw that boy getting beat up on block
You took 15 minutes to sit there and watch
And the punch the 14th is when his heart stopped
The first 15 seconds of an interview
With the potential employer already knows if he's into you
A girl already knows what kind of play of time of day she giving you weather or not she feeling you
It only takes 15 seconds to contact days
To go through like feeling like you living your last days
Only take 15 seconds to pray and have faith
Before the doctor say your cancer is pass safe
15 seconds ago you hated
When all 15 bars now I am the greatest
15 seconds from becoming your baby
Now I ain't going nowhere sucker I'm here to stay
They say I only got 15 seconds
Just 15 seconds, just 15 seconds of fame
Okay than watch what I do with it
Ima get it poppin till my 15 seconds up man
Give me my 15 seconds of fame
Just 15 seconds just 15 seconds of fame
Okay now watch what I do with it
Ima show it only take 15 seconds to change
See they say I only got 15 seconds of fame
Like it ain't a lot of things 15 seconds can change
15 seconds of effort will get you closer the better the never will on an effort less quest for the same
15 seconds from now you can look up
Your family disappear ,but you still here shook up
Bible in your house ,but you never picked the book up
It stayed in your mess and just ain't get took up
It only takes 15 seconds to accept Christ
Or embrace the dark side and reject light
But just remember that 15 seconds on Earth can determine where you spend your forever at
15 seconds ago you hated
When all 15 bars now I am the greatest
15 seconds from becoming your baby
Now I ain't going nowhere sucker I'm here to stay
They say I only got 15 seconds
Just 15 seconds, just 15 seconds of fame
Okay than watch what I do with it
Ima get it poppin till my 15 seconds up man
Give me my 15 seconds of fame
Just 15 seconds just 15 seconds of fame
Okay now watch what I do with it
Ima show it only take 15 seconds to change
Yea victory on the beat

Bizzle - 15 Seconds
Meaning & Inspiration
Bizzle's 2011 track, "15 Seconds," from the album *Tough Love & Parables*, is a powerful testament to the profound impact that brief moments can have on our lives, particularly within a framework of faith. The song directly addresses criticism Bizzle faced regarding his perceived fleeting fame, but swiftly pivots to a much larger and more significant message about the transformative power of seconds. He posits that the bloggers' limited view of his impact is misguided, and that true change, whether for good or ill, can occur with astonishing speed. The central theme revolves around the idea that even a seemingly insignificant unit of time, such as fifteen seconds, holds immense potential for life-altering decisions and outcomes.
Bizzle masterfully illustrates this concept through vivid, relatable scenarios. He begins by highlighting the rapid, almost instantaneous beginnings of life, noting that conception itself is a matter of mere moments, leading to a lifetime of joy or challenge. Conversely, he starkly contrasts this with the equally swift descent into destruction, referencing the swiftness with which poor choices, like attending a dangerous party or succumbing to peer pressure, can lead to irreversible harm and the end of a future. This concept echoes the biblical warning in James 1:15, which states, "Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death." Bizzle emphasizes that fifteen seconds can be enough time to make a decision that permanently alters one's trajectory, whether it's putting down a drink or a cigarette, and the consequences of those choices can be observed for years to come. He then turns this insight inward, reflecting on his own journey from being disliked to feeling like he has overcome his detractors, suggesting that even past animosity can be swiftly eclipsed by present success and conviction.
The song further expands this notion of swift consequence by exploring societal failures and personal opportunities. Bizzle points to the brief window of time in which intervention could have prevented tragedy on the streets, lamenting that inaction, even for a few extra moments, can have devastating repercussions. He also touches upon the immediate impressions made in job interviews or romantic encounters, illustrating how quickly perceptions are formed, echoing the wisdom of Proverbs 18:13, which states, "To answer before listening is both folly and confusion." The song reminds us that crucial moments for connection and support are often fleeting, but it also offers hope. Fifteen seconds of prayer, Bizzle suggests, can lead to a turning point in immense struggles, such as overcoming a serious illness, much like a doctor delivering good news after a period of uncertainty. The recurring refrain of his own perceived "greatest" status after facing animosity reinforces the idea of rapid transformation and resilience.
Ultimately, "15 Seconds" is a profound meditation on divine timing and human agency. Bizzle directly confronts the idea of superficial fame and redirects the listener’s attention to the more significant spiritual implications of fleeting moments. He reminds us that the choice between embracing spiritual truth and succumbing to darkness is a decision that can be made in an instant, a choice with eternal ramifications. This aligns directly with passages like 2 Corinthians 6:2, which urges, "For he says, 'In the time of my favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you.' I tell you, now is the time of favor, now is the day of salvation." Bizzle concludes by urging listeners to recognize that even fifteen seconds on Earth can determine one's eternal destiny, a powerful call to mindfulness and faith in the face of life's rapid currents.
