 [Birds chirping.]
Layzie:Break Break Down.
Steady breakin' me on down. Break Break Down
Steady breakin' me on down. Break Break Down
Wish:
Steady breakin' me on down. Break Break Down
Mariah:
Oooh.
Wish:
Steady breakin' me on down.
Break, breakdown. Steady breakin' me on down.
Mariah:
You called yesterday
to basically say
that you care for me boy,
but that you're just not in love.
Immediately, I pretended to be feeling similarly,
and led you to believe I was O.K.
to just walk away from the one thing that's
unyeilding and sacred to me.
Mariah:
Well, I guess I'm trying to be
nonchalant
about it, and I'm going to extremes
to prove I'm fine without you,
but in reality I'm slowly losing my mind
underneath the disguise of a smile.
Gradually, I'm dying inside.
Friends ask me how I feel,
and I lie convincingly,
'cause I don't want to reveal
the fact that I'm suffering,
so I wear my disguise
'till I go home at night,
and turn down all the lights,
and then I break down and cry.
Mariah:
So what do you do
when somebody you're so devoted to
suddenly just stops loving you?
And it seems they haven't got a clue
of the pain that rejection is putting you through.
Do you cling to your pride
and say "I will survive?"
[Krayzie: Gotta get
control and roll, roll, roll on.]
Do you lash out and say,
"How dare you leave this way?"
Do you hold on in vain as they just slip away?
Mariah:
Well, I guess I'm trying to be
nonchalant
[Wish: Break, breakdown. Steady breakin' me on down]
about it, and I'm going to extremes
to prove I'm fine without you,
but in reality I'm slowly losing my mind
underneath the disguise of a smile.
Gradually, I'm dying inside.
Friends ask me how I feel,
and I lie convincingly,
'cause I don't want to reveal
the fact that I'm suffering,
so I wear my disguise
'till I go home at night,
and turn down all the lights,
and then I break down and cry.
Wish:
Gonna break ya down, down, down,
only if ya let it [Don't let it.].
Everyday crazy situations rockin'
my mind tryin' to break me down,
but I won't let it. Forget it.
If ya feel the same way that I do,
then let me help y'all, all singin' tunes,
sayin' "It's all right, it's all right, it's all right, yeah.
"Hopin' for the sun,
but it looks like rain, B-O-N-E,
but it's still the same. Came far, but it's been a long road.
Trouble's gonna come
but we gotta stay strong. Hold on.
Krayzie:
Aw, yeah, I often feel the pressures,
y'all, but nevertheless Krayzie won't fall.
It's over. It's endin' here [here]. I said it's over.
It's endin' here [here],
so I'll be on my way,
and maybe we can meet up in the future one day,
but for now I'm bailin', bailin'.
Bailin', baby, gotta get up, can't take no more.
I'm headed for the door,
come and take a look into a thug humble eye.
Tell me: if we lived a lie, would our souls unite?
Layzie:
Every new day is a test for me,
so I just pray the Lord for Him to bless me, please.
There's struggles I'm goin' through lately,
breaks me down, set me free.
Let me be. Let me be.
Who else do I have to rely on?
Whose shoulder can a thug go cry on?
Can I get my vibe on?
While you look into my eyes, you won't underestimate,
and this soldier story, I'm'a tell you right now
I'm fed up. Wrong if I let my lead bust?
Hard to keep your head up.
Don't let this world get the best of you, I'm a stress you
through it, if it's over, over, over.
Don't breakdown yet, it's over.
Mariah:
Well, I guess I'm trying to be
nonchalant about it,
and I'm going to extremes
to prove I'm fine without you,
but in reality I'm slowly losing my mind
underneath the disguise of a smile.

'cause I don't want to reveal

and turn down all the lights,
and then I break down and cry.
