[Verse 1]

Look, I just shed tears homie and now I ain't too proud to admit it

Just seen my father for the first time in a minute

And when I say a minute I mean years man

Damn, a whale could have swam in them tears fam

Cause as I left them I reflected on my younger days

When it was just me and my brother and my mother played

Father, cause no other man bothered

Not even my biological, it never seemed logical

But I accepted it cause I ain't know no better

Thought I was brighter than a polo sweater

No pops was like martin with no coretta

So many things you could have told me

And saved me the trouble of lettin' my mistakes show me

I feel like you barely know me

And that's a shame cause our last name is the same

That blood type flowin' through our veins is the same

My mama left you and maybe your anger's to blame

But that's no excuse, only you and god know the truth

And why you only call monthly, barely ever saw me

Spend some summers with you and played with my cousin maury

Maybe I should be tellin' you fuck you cause you selfish

But I want a father so bad, I can't help it

I break down, I break down

Can't help but break down

I break down

[Verse 2]

I never thought I'd see my mama on that shit man

It's fuckin' with her body, now she sick damn

I wanted a big house with a white picket fence and a pool

Who would have ever thought that it would come to this, man?

Quicksand is what this life feel like

That shit these rappers kick is nothin' like real life

You made a milli off of servin' hard white, yeah right

My mama tell you what addicted to that pipe feel like

Stupid niggas, I heard the cops be shootin' niggas

I swear to god, wish I could bullet proof my niggas

Can't get no jobs, but they still recruitin' niggas

We tryna stand tall when it gets to crucial niggas

Break down! we break down, we break down, we break down...

[Verse 3]

Servin' time, locked down

And she don't want nobody to know, his daughter 25 pounds

By the time he get out, she gon' be 4

Now will his girl stay down?

Ain't no doubt, she love him yeah that's fo sho

But temptation stays round

And if she strayed, how could he ever know?

Never know and so, she goes to the club on the weekend

A little freakin', but them niggas holla

But she never speakin', but tonight I see the devil creepin'

Cause she been lonely, she ain't felt a man in 7 seasons

Damn! she do the best that she can

Her mama tellin' her to find another man

She college educated with a felon boyfriend

That's what she thinkin' tonight

Maybe she's right, but please

Stay down mama! gotta be strong, don't break down mama!

Please... stay down mama! gotta be strong, don't break down mama!

Don't break down, don't break down, don't break down, don't break down...

Break, break down

Steady break me down
