Break Down

Lyrics

[verse 1] I try to breath and count to 3, but that won't help me calm down I can't relax because I'm always surrounded by loud sounds Created by people who done ticked me off in the first place But if I sock 'em, then I'ma catch an A&B case So I sit back and write a rhyme to relax But then somebody wanna come in contact and interact with me Takin me up outta my dang zone, talking to me bout nonsense Just leave me the heck alone! I can't stand when people wanna yell up in my ear Like I ain't in front of them; boy you see I'm right here Yet you wanna keep yelling in my ear anyway I swear, these lil kids wanna play on the wrong day I gotta turn in these projects before the period ends I can't concentrate cause these dudes wanna begin Actin a fool. For Pete's sake I've had It up to here I feel like screaming but chumps just won't hear I'm about to break down! [Chorus] Calm down man! Take it easy man! Take it easy man! (Man I Just can't do it!) [x4] [verse 2] Man listen. I wouldn't hurt a soul. But stress can take a toll And If I black out, then I'll be hard to control See momma raised a good boy, but since I'm so nice, people keep Playing me Like I was a freaking toy I use stress balls to keep me from getting real ill But when some body wanna diss my skill, I start to feel Anger and confusion. Cause I'm starting to feel the pressure of Fake peers and some of these strict (Sound effect) Professors Worrying about my momma and worrying bout my work and then worrying Bout my career will drive a brother berserk If I don't graduate then my fam will begin to Riff I swear I feel like cliff hanger: I'm stuck hanging off of a cliff, and I can't hold on for much longer! I'm stuck in a gloomy environment, mentally trapped in solitary confinement I try to hold it in, but I can't hold it back It's frustrating tryna stay on track, I swear I'm bout to break down! [verse 3] I wish, I wish, with all my heart that I don't blow up and tear somebody apart I gotta get a hold of myself, I'm about to be grown. I heard It's hard tryna survive out Here on your own Sometimes I wonder: Will I make it out here by selling beats? Or will I be that dude begging for change out here on the streets? Will I live in bloomfield hills or will I be stuck on 7 mile pushing a cart full of clothes finding It hard to smile? See, I always wind up blaming somebody else for my feelings when I should've been blaming my own self I can't even think straight, I don't even think I understand that I'm over here being my own bully I'm still over here getting D's and F's, still walking with a body full of rage and a mind full Of regrets Somebody hold me back, I'm bout to blow cause of the stress And leave a mess trying to get this off my chest, cause I'm bout to breakdown!
