Break

[Chorus]

I need a break

I been in the grind and I been tryin' for a long time

I ain't into smilin', I be cryin'

I be all riled up, got me all tied up

In emotion, I be copin' at like all times

Yo, I need a break

I be havin' struggles, havin' troubles that they don't know

I do not be clubbin', stresses talking like a boatload

I ain't tryna be vulnerable, I just let the moat grow

I hope that the hope grows, yo, I need a—

[Verse]

I could feel the tension, I could hear the guesses

Sinuses be stuffy, but I can smell a question

Ask me what you tryin' know, I am never rеstin'

Know you see it in a room, ask me 'bout the elеphant

She could only see it in my face if I'm angry

That's all I was allowed to show, girl, the city raised me

If I gave 'em anything else, they would maim me

It's easier to make 'em pay me than to change me

I'm tryin'

But when they praise the flow, it make me glow

It's crazy, though, my smile-to-frown ratio

Feel like I'm speakin' real well on shit I vaguely know

Maybe so, but maybe no

But the liquor don't taste the same

It don't take the pain, I'm gon’ face the rain

But how's a fighter gon' fight when the answer's "wait"?

I need to plan escape before this mental break

[Chorus]

I need a break

I been in the grind and I been tryin' for a long time

I ain't into smilin', I be cryin'

I be all riled up, got me all tied up

In emotion, I be copin' at like all times

Yo, I need a break

I be havin' struggles, havin' troubles that they don't know

I do not be clubbin', stresses talking like a boatload

I ain't tryna be vulnerable, I just let the moat grow

I hope that the hope grows, yo, I need a—

[Chorus]

I need a break

I been in the grind and I been tryin' for a long time

I ain't into smilin', I be cryin'

I be all riled up, got me all tied up

In emotion, I be copin' at like all times

Yo, I need a break

I be havin' struggles, havin' troubles that they don't know

I do not be clubbin', stresses talking like a boatload

I ain't tryna be vulnerable, I just let the moat grow

I hope that the hope grows, yo, I need a—
