Breakin Me Down Lyrics – Written by Igloo
(Verse 1)
You know what/
People love to hate/ People love to break/
People, but let them try me, I can hardly wait/
Usually I’m quiet, but now i got a vendetta/
I’ve been betta than mosta yall can ever/
Hope to be, see with me, I try to accelerate/
That’s why I’m riding V6, not pumping on no pedal brakes/
Metal plates gon be put into your chest and face/
The test to take is are you brave enough to sleep because you’ll never wake/
I ain’t playin, actin or lyin/
My brothers play, M3 act, I just move in silence/
Violence is not my nature/
But people try to bend you to their will until they almost break ya/
I hate the feeling of helplessness and hopelessness/
I hope that this is over quick/ So tell me this/
Do you know me b*** /
If you don’t, then why you wanna judge me so quick/
You just breakin me down/
(Verse 2)
My momma said to me/
Focus on school, because I want you/
To succeed, funny how she never really cared about what I wanna do/
I mean she said she did, but she gotta prejudice/
If it was left up to her, I wouldn’t ever live/
The life I really want, the life I feel I need/
I feel I bleed cuz people look at me, but they ain’t really seeing me/
I try to imagine being free, but I can’t picture it/
I know where my target be, but I keep on missing it/
Somehow I keep on wishing it would change, though it gonna stay the same/
And I know it, still I pray to escape/
Although I don’t know what I’m running from, maybe when summer come/
People’ll stop telling me that I’m young and dumb/
I’m comin up, but people wanna break me down/
If it wasn’t meant to be, then please Lord take me now/
Hate me now, take me out/
But when it comes to confidence in myself, I’m never faking doubts/
Even though you aching now/ to be breakin me down/
(Verse 3)
Sometimes, I wonder, how can you take somebody’s life and put a price on it/
That’s worth less than a chain or Jacob watch with ice on it/
We gambling with our souls, raise the stakes, we rollin dice on it/
I know I can make it man, I bet my life on it/
And if I don’t, I got no regrets as long as I’m honest/
No matter what I’m going out with honour, I promise/
That I’m an artist/ And ima keep it on that level/
Too many people’s chests are empty, but ima never die heartless/
This is a God-given talent, n*** I got it/
When you hear me rhyme a line, don’t say that I bought it/
For some reason people wonderin why I started/
Cuz they cant do it this fluid, they movin, tryna stop it/
They say I talk the talk, but claim I spite walkin/
It’s true, I’m runnin, shootin through, I never tried parkin/
I can do good in school, but never placed my worth on my mark and/
Money mean nothing in the end to me, cuz time’s always/ breakin me down/
