Breakdown (Explicit Version)

[Verse 1]

Yeah

Yeah

Look, I just shed tears homie and no I ain't too proud to admit it

Just seen my father for the first time in a minute

When I say a minute I mean years man

Damn, a whale could have swam in them tears fam

Cause as I left em' I reflected on my younger days

When it was just me and my brother and my mother played

Father, ‘cause no other man bothered

Not even my biological, it never seemed logical

But I accepted it 'cause I ain't know no better

Thought I was brighter than a Polo sweater

No pops was like Martin with no Coretta

So many things you could have told me

And saved me the trouble of letting my mistakes show me

I feel like you barely know me

And that's a shame ‘cause our last name is the same

That blood type flowing through our veins is the same

My mama left you and it may be that anger's to blame

But that's no excuse, only you and God know the truth

And why you only call monthly, barely ever saw me

Spend some summers with you and played with my cousin Maury

Maybe I should be telling you “**** you” ‘cause you selfish

But I want a father so bad, I can't help but...

Break down

I break down

Can't help but break down

I break down

[Verse 2]

Yeah, I never thought I'd see my mama on that ****, man

It's ******* with her body, now she sick, damn

I wanted a big house with a white picket fence and a pool

Who would have ever thought that it would come to this, man?

Quicksand is what this life feel like

That **** these rappers kick is nothing like real life

You made a milli off of serving hard white? Yeah right

My mama tell you what addicted to that pipe feel like

Stupid ******, I heard the cops be shooting ******

I swear to God, wish I could bulletproof my ******

Can't get no jobs, but they still recruiting ******

We trying to stand tall when it get too crucial ******

Break down, we break down

We break down, we break down

Break the break down

[Verse 3]

Yeah, He's serving time, locked down

And she don't want nobody to know

His daughter 25 pounds

By the time he get out, she gon' be 4

Now will his girl stay down?

Ain't no doubt she love him, yeah that's for sure

But temptation stays round

And if she strayed, how could he ever know? Never know

And so, she goes to the club on the weekend

A little freaking, but them ****** holla, but she never speakin'

But tonight I see the devil creeping

'Cause she been lonely, she ain't felt a man in seven seasons

Damn! She doin the best that she can

Her mama tellin' her to find another man

She college educated with a felon boyfriend

That's what she thinkin' tonight

Maybe she's right, but please

Stay down mama

Gotta be strong, don't break down mama

Please

Stay down mama

Gotta be strong, don't break down mama

Don't break down

Yeah, don't break down

Don't break down

Don't break down

Uh, break the break down...

Break, break down
