Breakdown (The Mo' Thugs Remix)
Mariah Carey
Don't breakdown yet, it's over, over
Don't breakdown yet, it's over, over
Don't breakdown yet, it's over, over
Don't breakdown yet, it's over
(Steady breaking-me-on-down)
Break-breakdown
(Steady breaking-me-on-down)
Break-breakdown
(Steady breaking-me-on-down)
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 it was okay to just walk-away
From the one thing that's unyielding
And sacred to me
Well, I guess I'm tryin' to be nonchalant about it (break-breakdown)
And I'm goin' to extremes to prove I'm fine without you (steady breaking-me-on-down)
But, in reality, I'm slowly losing my mind (break-breakdown)
Underneath the guise of smile, gradually I'm dying inside (steady breaking-me-on-down)
Friends ask me how I feel, and I lie convincingly (break-breakdown)
'Cause I don't want to reveal the fact that I'm suffering (steady breaking-me-on-down)
So, I wear my disguise 'til I go home, at night (break-breakdown)
And turn-down all the lights, and then I breakdown and cry (steady breaking-me-on-down)
So, what do you do when somebody you're so 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?
(Gotta get control and roll-roll-roll on)
Do you lash-out and say: How dare you leave this way?
(Gotta get control and roll-roll-roll on, gotta get control and roll-roll-roll on)
Do you hold-on, in vain, as they just slip-away?
(Gotta get control and roll-roll-roll on)
Well, I guess I'm tryin' to be nonchalant about it
And I'm goin' to extremes to prove I'm fine without you
But, in reality, I'm slowly losin' my mind (losing my mind)
Underneath the guise of smile, gradually I'm dying inside (under the smile)
Friends ask me how I feel, and I lie convincingly (how do I feel? I'm suffering)
'Cause I don't want to reveal the fact that I'm suffering (what do you think?)
So, I wear my disguise 'til I go home, at night
And turn-down all the lights, and then I breakdown and cry
It can break ya' down-down-down
Only if ya' let it (don't let it)
Everyday, there's a situation, wreckin' my mind
Trynna' break me down, but I won't let it, forget it
If ya' feel the same way that I do
Then let me hear it
Y'all all sing, too
Sing: It's alright, it's alright, it's alright! Yeah
Hopin' for the sun, but it looks like rain
P, O, D, 'd, but it's still the same
Came this far, but it's been a long road
Troubles gon' come, but we gotta stay strong, hold on-on
Ah, yeah, I keep feelin' pressures, yo
But, nevertheless, Krayzie won't fall
It's over, it's endin' here (here)
I said it's over, it's endin' here (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', 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?
Every new day is a test for me
So, I just pray to the Lord
For Him to bless me, please
These struggles that I'm goin' through lately
Break me down, set me free
Let me be, let me be
Who else do we have to rely on?
Whose shoulder can a thug go cry on?
Came to get my vibe on
While you look into my eyes
Won't underestimate this soldier's 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
All the stress, I'm through
'Cause it's over, over, over
Don't breakdown yet, it's over
Well, I guess I'm tryin' to be nonchalant about it (I'm crying, yeah)
And I'm goin' to extremes to prove I'm fine without you
But, in reality, I'm slowly losin' my mind (I'm gradually dying inside)
Underneath the guise of smile gradually I'm dying inside (in my heart, I'm crying)
Friends ask me how I feel, and I lie convincingly (how do I feel?)
'Cause I don't want to reveal the fact that I'm suffering (I'm losing my mind)
So, I wear my disguise 'til I go home, at night
And turn-down all the lights, and then I breakdown and cry (I breakdown and cry)
Well, I guess I'm tryin' to be nonchalant about it (break-breakdown)
And I'm goin' to extremes to prove I'm fine without you (steady breaking-me-on-down)
But, in reality, I'm slowly losin' my mind (break-breakdown)
Underneath the guise of smile, gradually, I'm dying inside (steady breaking-me-on-down)
Friends ask me how I feel, and I lie convincingly
(Break-breakdown) (how do I feel?)
'Cause I don't want to reveal the fact that I'm suffering
(What do you think? You gotta know I'm suffering, oh, why, I)
(Steady breaking-me-on-down)
So I wear my disguise 'til I go home at night (break-breakdown)
(Turn-off the lights, and breakdown and cry)
And turn-down all the lights, and then I breakdown and cry (steady breaking-me-on-down)
Cry, cry, cry
(Break-breakdown)
(Steady breaking-me-on-down)
Cry, cry, cry
(Break-breakdown)
(Steady breaking-me-on-down)
