Lyrics

Stop Breaking Down

I can't walk the streets now to convulate my mind
Some pretty mama, she starts breaking down, stop breaking down ooh
I stop breaking down

The stuff I got is gonna bust your brains out
Well, it'll make you lose your mind

You Saturday night women, you love to ape and clown
You won't do nothing but tear a good man's reputation down
Stop breaking down, stop breaking down

The stuff I got is gonna bust your brains out
Well, it'll make you lose your mind

I gave my baby the 99 degree
She jumped up and throwed a pistol down on me
Stop breaking down, stop breaking down

The stuff I got is gonna bust your brains out
Yeah, it'll make you lose your mind
