Break Me Down - Lloyd Banks

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

The devil want to 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 want to break me down

Everyone in my face seems foul

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 grand mom two times two aunts

I’m reminiscing took my best friend grandpops and pop

Now I’m trippin' they would tell me don’t take nothing for granted

I wouldn’t listen signs of me in shit without understanding my premonition

Nigga’s will 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

Now it’s my fault holding you highest thing that all’s forgiven

Spent early years on the VI floor of the prison

Hoping you and me 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 for giving

Someone praying on my downfall obvious you been wishing

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

The devil want to 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 want to break me down

Everyone in my face seems foul

Murder’s the realest shit I ever saw

It stuck with me forever more than 'cidal

Let down the emptiness spilled out on the floor

Don’t doubt that I make a comeback shit I done came back before

Gave you ass to kiss, I watched ass kisses fall through the door

Only a bitch is concerned with who someone’s nailing

Only a loser gon' laugh at nigga failing

You lose a little them so-called-friends will be bailing

Fumbling words apologizes coming off incoherent

Homies will 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 pair with

Watch who you may welcome in outsiders’ll interfere quick

You cross the line you’re 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

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

The devil want to 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 want to break me down

Everyone in my face seems foul

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 you’re problems mean nothing

You want to convert 'em and make 'em mime

Playing a gangsta just to hope for the moment

You’re favorite why it’s horrible picking friends

That end up with all the ungrateful kind

Envying on you when they show an agenda

To sink the king critical pen in night and day

Maybe I’m overthinking things nigga’s be on the fence

Eliminate all of the links 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 will turn to many

If you could only get the chance to you would end me

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

The devil want to 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 want to break me down

Everyone in my face seems foul
