[Layzie:]
Over, over
Don't break down yet, it's over
Over, over
Don't break down yet, it's over
Over, over
[Wish:]
Steady breakin' me on down
(Oooh)
Break, breakdown
Steady breakin' me on down
Break, breakdown
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
unyeilding 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 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 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 say "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 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:]
Gonna break ya down, down, down
only if ya let it [Don't let it]
Everyday crazy situations rockin' my mind
tryin' to break me down, but I won't let it
Forget it
If ya feel the same way that I do
then let me help y'all, all singin' tunes
sayin' "It's all right, it's all right
it's all right, yeah"
Hopin' for the sun, but it looks like rain
B-O-N-E, but it's still the same
Came far, but it's been a long road
Trouble's gonna come but we gotta stay strong
Hold on
[Krayzie:]
Aw, yeah, I often feel the pressures, y'all
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 a thug humble eye
Tell me: if we lived a lie, would our souls unite?
[Layzie:]
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
and this soldier story, I'mma tell you right now, I'm fed up
Wrong if I let my lead bust?
Hard to keep your head up
Don't let this world get the best of you
I'mma stress you through it, if it's over, over, over
Don't breakdown yet, it's over
[Mariah:]
Well, I guess I'm trying to be nonchalant about it

and turn down all the lights
and then I break down and cry....
