Don't Breakdown yet it's over, over

Don't Breakdown yet it's over, over

Don't Breakdown yet it's over, over

Don't Breakdown yet it's over

[Krayzie Bone (1)]

[Mariah Carey humming in background]

Steady breaking me on down

Break breakdown

Steady breaking me on down

Break breakdown

Steady breaking me on down

[Mariah Carey]

You called yesterday

To basically say

That you care for me but

That you're just not in love

Immediately I pretended to be

Feeling similarly

In that you'd ever leave

I was ok to just walk away from the

One thing that's unyielding and sacred to me

[Chorus: sung by Mariah Carey; Krayzie Bone singing 1 in background]

Well I guess I'm trying to be nonchalant about it

And I'm going to extremes to prove I'm fine without you

But in reality I'm

Slowly losing my mind

Underneath the guise of smile

Gradually I'm dying inside

Friends ask me how I feel

And I lie convincingly

Cause I don't want to reveal

The fact that I'm suffering

So I wear my disguise

Til I go home at night

And turn down all the lights

And then I breakdown and cry

[Mariah Carey]

So what do you do when

Somebody you're so devoted to

Suddenly just stops loving you

And it seems they haven't got a clue

Of the pain that rejection is putting you through

Do you cling to your pride

And sing "I Will Survive"

(Krayzie Bone in background: Gotta get control and roll roll roll on)

Do you lash out and say

How dare you leave this way

Do you hold in vain

As they just slip away

[Chorus]

[Wish Bone]

Gonna break you down, down, down, only if you let it (Don't let it)

Everyday crazy situations rocking my mind trying to break me down

But I won't let it forget it

If you feel the same way that I do

Then let me hear y'all all sing too

Sing, it's al-right, it's alright, it's alright yeah

Hoping for the sun, but it looks like rain

B-O-N-E, but it's still the same

Came this far, but it's been a long road

Troubles gonna come but we gotta stay strong, hold on, on

[Krayzie Bone]

Aw, yeah, I often feel the pressures, y'all

But nevertheless Krayzie won't fall

It's over, it's ending here, here

I said it's over. It's ending here, here

So I'll be on my way

And maybe we can meet up in the future one day

But for now I'm bailing, bailing

Bailing!, baby gotta get up, can't take no more

I'm headed for the door

Come and take a look into this humble eye

Tell me if we lived a lie

Would our souls unite

[Layzie Bone]

Every new day is a test for me

So I just pray to the Lord for him to bless me, please

There's struggles I'm going through lately

Breaks me down, set me free

Let me be, let me be

Who else do we have to rely on

Whose shoulder can a thug go cry on

Came to get my vibe on

While you look into my eyes

Won't underestimate this soldier story

I'ma tell you right now I'ma stand up

Wrong if I let my lead bust

Pac said keep your head up

Don't let this world get the best of you

All my struggles, I'm through

If it's over, over, over

Don't breakdown yet it's over

[Chorus]

[with Mariah Carey singing in background]

[Chorus]

[With Mariah Carey singing and Krayzie Bone singing 1 all in background]

Cry, cry (Break break down)

Cry, cry (Steady breaking me on down)

Cry, cry (Break break down)

Cry, cry (Steady breaking me on down)
