Break Me Down

[Pre-Chorus] Sometime the pain hurt so bad, things can get blurry But you gon' have to pick one, say a prayer, worry I ain't scared of death, feel like I already felt it Forgive you for hating on me, I know you can't help it [Chorus] The Devil wanna take me now But I can't let him break me down I can't make no mistakes, he's 'round Feel like I'm going crazy now I'm paranoid lately now Feels like nothing can make me smile I know they wanna break me down Everyone in my face seems foul [Verse 1] Motherfucker, you want me locked up, cut up, shot up, came to fruition I got popped up, knocked down, got up, back on a mission Lost my grandmom two times, two aunts, I'm reminiscing Took my best friend, grandpops and pops, now I'm trippin' They would tell me, "Don't take nothing for granted", I wouldn't listen Signs ain't mean shit without understanding my premonition Niggas'll rock you to sleep, cannibalism His slip was already written, won't find a manual with him Y'all ain't love a nigga, you just love the way I was living That it's my fault, holding you higher standard, all's forgiven Spent early years on the VI floor of the prison Hoping you ain't leave for nothing and I inherit the wisdom Want babies to make the best out of life with no supervision Returning from neighborhood wars, tallying who went missing It's your fault, it's the second time, I'd be a fool forgiving Someone praying on my downfall, obvious you been wishing [Pre-Chorus] Sometime the pain hurt so bad, things can get blurry But you gon' have to pick one, say a prayer, worry I ain't scared of death, feel like I already felt it Forgive you for hating on me, I know you can't help it [Chorus] The Devil wanna take me now But I can't let him break me down I can't make no mistakes, he's 'round Feel like I'm going crazy now I'm paranoid lately now Feels like nothing can make me smile I know they wanna break me down Everyone in my face seems foul [Verse 2] Uh, murder's the realest shit I ever saw, it stuck with me forever more The sight of lead down the emptiness spilled out on the floor Don't doubt that I make a comeback, shit, I done came back before Gave your ass to kiss, I watched ass kissers fall through the door Only a bitch is concerned with who someone's nailing Only a loser gon' laugh at a nigga failing You lose a little, them so-called-friends'll be bailing Fumbling words, apologizes coming off incoherent Homies'll turn their back with consistency, I'm preparing Losing a liability ain't shit to me, I'm apparent You need a partner, respect for the one you paired with Watch who you may welcome in, outsiders'll interfere quick You cross the line, you getting all my time I dedicate all of my days to drowning you, awaiting your funeral line Just a suggestion out my beautiful mind Had me standing still in my guilt, but now I'm doing fine [Pre-Chorus] Sometime the pain hurt so bad, things can get blurry But you gon' have to pick one, say a prayer, worry I ain't scared of death, feel like I already felt it Forgive you for hating on me I know you can't help it [Chorus] The Devil wanna take me now But I can't let him break me down I can't make no mistakes, he's 'round Feel like I'm going crazy now I'm paranoid lately now Feels like nothing can make me smile I know they wanna break me down Everyone in my face seems foul [Verse 3] Yo, able to sense what you're thinking, another urban story Hearing the voices of soldiers caught up in purgatory Happy you left, fuck I need with another burden on me? Hope you live to show off your scars, give all the surgeons glory Avoiding discussions to shake off the suffering Take some time, your problems mean nothing You wanna convert 'em and make 'em mine Playing a gangsta just to hope for the moment Your favorite wine's horrible, picking friends That end up with all the ungrateful kind Envy'll warn you when they show an agenda to sink the king Critical penning night and day, maybe I'm overthinking things Niggas be on the fence, eliminate all of the links in between Offer the drama they gon' take you up on it keep blinking, Queens Lord forgive me, them dark spirits got in me I'm smelling death in the air and now it's starting to get windy When you isolate yourself, adversaries'll turn to many If you could only get the chance to, you would end me [Pre-Chorus] Sometime the pain hurt so bad, things can get blurry But you gon' have to pick one, say a prayer, worry I ain't scared of death, feel like I already felt it Forgive you for hating on me, I know you can't help it [Chorus] The Devil wanna take me now But I can't let him break me down I can't make no mistakes, he's 'round Feel like I'm going crazy now I'm paranoid lately now Feels like nothing can make me smile I know they wanna break me down Everyone in my face seems foul
