Lloyd Banks Break Me Down Lyrics

[Pre-Chorus]
Sometime the pain hurt so bad standards can get blurry
But you gon' have to pick one, say a prayer, worry
I ain't scared of death feel like I already felt it
Forgive you for hating on me I know you can't help it

[Chorus]
The devil want to take me now
But I can't let him break me down
I can't make no mistakes he's 'round
Feel like I'm going crazy now
I'm paranoid lately now
Feels like nothing can make me smile
I know they want to break me down
Everyone in my face seems foul

[Verse 1]
Motherf*cker you want me locked up cut up shot up
Came to fruition I got popped up knocked down got up
Back on a mission lost my grand mom two times two aunts
I'm reminiscing took my best friend grandpops and pop
Now I'm trippin' they would tell me don't take nothing for granted
I wouldn't listen signs ain't mean shit without understanding my premonition
Nigga's will rock you to sleep cannibalism his slip was already written won't find a manual with him
Y'all ain't love a nigga you just love the way I was living
Now it's my fault holding you highest thing that all's forgiven
Spent early years on the VI floor of the prison
Hoping you ain't leave for nothing and I inherit the wisdom
Want babies to make the best out of life with no supervision
Returning from neighborhood wars tallying who went missing
It's your fault it's the second time I'd be a fool for giving
Someone praying on my downfall obvious you been wishing
[Pre-Chorus]
Sometime the pain hurt so bad things can get blurry
But you gon' have to pick one, say a prayer, worry
I ain't scared of death feel like I already felt it
Forgive you for hating on me I know you can't help it

[Chorus]
The devil want to take me now
But I can't let him break me down
I can't make no mistakes he's 'round
Feel like I'm going crazy now
I'm paranoid lately now
Feels like nothing can make me smile
I know they want to break me down
Everyone in my face seems foul

[Verse 2]
Murder's the realest shit I ever saw
It stuck with me forever more its like a
Let down the emptiness spilled out on the floor
Don't doubt that I make a comeback shit I done came back before
Gave you ass to kiss, I watched ass kisses fall through the door
Only a bitch is concerned with who someone's nailing
Only a loser gon' laugh at nigga failing
You lose a little them so-called-friends will be bailing
Fumbling words apologizes coming off incoherent
Homies will turn their back with consistency I'm preparing Losing a liability ain't shit to me I'm a parent
You need a partner respect for the one you pair with
Watch who you may welcome in outsiders'll interfere quick
You cross the line you're getting all my time
I dedicate all of my days to drowning you, awaiting your funeral line
Just a suggestion out my beautiful mind
Had me standing still in my guilt, but now I'm doing fine
[Pre-Chorus]
Sometime the pain hurt so bad things can get blurry
But you gon' have to pick one, say a prayer, worry
I ain't scared of death feel like I already felt it
Forgive you for hating on me I know you can't help it

[Chorus]
The devil want to take me now
But I can't let him break me down
I can't make no mistakes he's 'round
Feel like I'm going crazy now
I'm paranoid lately now
Feels like nothing can make me smile
I know they want to break me down
Everyone in my face seems foul

[Verse 3]
Yo, able to sense what you're thinking another urban story
Hearing the voices of soldiers caught up in purgatory
Happy you left f*ck I need with another burden on me
Hope you live to show off your scars give all the surgeons glory
Avoiding discussions to shake off the suffering
Take some time you're problems mean nothing
You want to convert 'em and make 'em mine
Playing a gangsta just to hope for the moment
You're favorite wine's horrible, picking friends
That end up with all the ungrateful kind
Envying on you when they show an agenda
To sink the king critical pen in night and day
Maybe I'm overthinking things niggas be on the fence
Eliminate all of the links between
Offer the drama they gon' take you up on it keep blinking, Queens
[Bridge]
Lord forgive me them dark spirits got in me
I'm smelling death in the air, and now it's starting to get windy
When you isolate yourself adversaries will turn to many
If you could only get the chance to you would end me

[Pre-Chorus]
Sometime the pain hurt so bad things can get blurry
But you gon' have to pick one, say a prayer, worry
I ain't scared of death feel like I already felt it
Forgive you for hating on me I know you can't help it

[Chorus]
The devil want to take me now
But I can't let him break me down
I can't make no mistakes he's 'round
Feel like I'm going crazy now
I'm paranoid lately now
Feels like nothing can make me smile
I know they want to break me down
Everyone in my face seems foul
