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
