Bone Thugs-N-Harmony:
Don't break down yet it's over
Don't break down yet it's over
Don't break down yet it's over
Don't break down yet it's over
Steady breakin' me on down
Break, break down
Steady breakin' me on down
Break, break down
Steady breakin' me on down
Mariah:
You called yesterday to basically say
That you care for me but that you're just not in love
Immediately, I pretended to be feeling similarly
And led you to believe I was O.K.
To just walk away from the one thing
That's unyielding and sacred to me
Well, I guess I'm trying to be nonchalant about it
And I'm going to extremes to prove I'm fine without you
But in reality I'm slowly losing my mind
Underneath the guise of a smile gradually I'm dying inside
Friends ask me how I feel and I lie convincingly
'Cause I don't want to reveal the fact that that I'm suffering
So I wear my disguise 'til I go home at night
And turn down all the lights and then I break down and cry
So, what do you do when somebody you're devoted to
Suddenly just stops loving you and it seems they haven't got a clue
Of the pain that rejection is putting you through
Do you cling to your pride and sing “I will survive”
Do you lash out and say “How dare you leave this way”
Do you hold on in vain as they just slip away
Well, I guess I'm trying to be nonchalant about it
And I'm going to extremes to prove I'm fine without you
But in reality I'm slowly losing my mind
Underneath the guise of a smile gradually I'm dying inside
Friends ask me how I feel and I lie convincingly
'Cause I don't want to reveal the fact that that I'm suffering
So I wear my disguise 'til I go home at night
And turn down all the lights and then I break down and cry
Wish Bone:
Gonna break you down, down down
Only if you let it
Everyday crazy situations rocking my mind
Trying to break me down
But I won't let it
Forget it
If you feel the same way that I do
Then let me hear y'all all sing too
Sayin' 'It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, yeah!'
Hopin' for the sun but it looks like rain
P-O-D
But it's still the same
Came far but it's been a long road
Trouble's gon' come but we gotta stay strong
Hold on
Krayzie Bone:
Oh yeah, I can feel the pressures y'all
But nevertheless Krayzie won't fall
It's over, it's endin' here
I said it's over
It's endin' here
So I'll be on my way
And maybe we can meet up in the future one day
But for now I'm bailin' bailin'
Baby gotta get up
Can't take no more
I'm headed for the door
Come and take a look into this humble eye
Tell me if we lived a lie
Would our souls unite?
Layzie Bone:
Every new day is a test for me
So I just pray the Lord for Him to bless me please
There's struggles I'm goin' through lately
Breaks me down
Set me free
Let me be
Let me be
Who else do I have to rely on?
Whose shoulder can a thug go cry on?
Can I get my vibe on?
While you look into my eyes
You won't underestimate this soldier story
I'ma tell you right now I'm fed up
Wrong if I let my lead bust
Pac said 'keep your head up'
Don't let this world get the best of you
I'ma stress you through it
If it's over, over, over
Don't break down yet, it's over
Well, I guess I'm trying to be nonchalant about it
And I'm going to extremes to prove I'm fine without you
But in reality I'm slowly losing my mind
Underneath the guise of a smile gradually I'm dying inside
Friends ask me how I feel and I lie convincingly
'Cause I don't want to reveal the fact that that I'm suffering
So I wear my disguise 'til I go home at night
And turn down all the lights and then I break down and cry
