J. Cole - Breakdown Lyrics
[Verse 1: j. cole]Look, I just she'd tears homie and now I ain't to proud to admit itJust seen my father for the first time in a minuteAnd when I say a minute I mean years manDamn, a whale could have swam in them tears famCause as I left him I reflected on my younger daysWhen it was just me and my brother and my mother playedFather, cause no other man botheredNot even my biological, it never seemed logicalBut I accepted it cause I ain't know no betterThought I was brighter than a polo sweaterNo pops was like martin with no corettaSo many things you could have told meAnd saved me the trouble or lettin' my mistakes show meI feel like you barely know meAnd that's a shame cause our last name is the sameThat blood type flowin' through our veins is the sameMy mama left you and it may be that anger's to blameBut that's no excuse, only you and god know the truthAnd why you only gone monthly, barely ever saw meSpend some summer's with you and played with my cousin mauryMaybe I should be tellin' you ***** you cause you selfishBut I want a father so bad, I can't help itI break down, I break downCan't help but break down[Verse 2: j. cole]I never thought I'd see my mama on that shit manIt's *****in' with her body, now she sit downI wanted a big house with a white picket fence and a poolWho would have ever thought that it would come to this, man?Quicksand is what this life feel likeThat shit these rappers kick is nothin' like real lifeYou made a milli off of servin' hard white? yeah rightMy mama tell you what sticking to that pipe feel likeStupid niggas, ain't heard of coppers shootin' niggas?I swear to god, wish I could bullet proof my niggasCan't get no jobs, but they still recruitin' niggasWe tryna stand tall when it gets to crucial niggasBreak down! we break down...[Verse 3: j. cole]Servin' time, lie downAnd she don't want nobody to know, it started 25 poundsBy the time he get out, she gonna be 4Now will his girl stay down?Ain't no doubt, yeah she love him fo shoBut temptation stays roundAnd if she strayed, how could he ever know?And so, she goes to the club on the weekendA little freakin', but them niggas hollaBut she never speakin', but tonight I see the devil creepin'Cause she been lonely, she ain't felt a man in 7 seasonsDamn! she do the best that she canHer mama tellin' her to find another manShe college educated with a felon boyfriendThat's what she thinkin' tonightMaybe she's right, but pleaseStay down mama! gotta be strong, don't break down mama!Please...
