Lyrics: Bone Thugs-N-Harmony: Krayzie Bone / Wish Bone: Guest Appearances: Mariah Carey: Breakdown (Featuring Krayzie Bone And Wish Bone)
Break breakdown
Steady breakin’ 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
And led you to believe I was
Okay to just
Walk away from the
One thing that’s unyielding and sacred to me
Chorus: Mariah Carey
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 a 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 break down and cry
Mariah Carey
So what do you do when
Somebody you’re 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?”
Do you lash out and say
“How dare you leave this way?”
Do you hold on in vain as they just slip away?
Krayzie Bone / Wish Bone
Break breakdown
Steady breakin’ me on down
Gotta get control
Roll roll roll on
Wish Bone
Gonna break you down
Only if you let it
Everyday crazy situations rockin’ my mind
Tryin’ to break me down
But I won’t let it
Forget it
Krayzie Bone
I be feelin’ like you’re breakin’ me down
Kickin’ me ’round
Stressin’ me out
I think I better go and get out and let me
Release some stress
Wish Bone
Don’t ever wanna feel no pain
Hopin’ for the sun but it looks like rain
Lord I just wanna maintain
Krayzie Bone
Yeah
I can feel the pressures yo
But nevertheless Krayzie won’t fall
It’s over
It’s endin’ here
Chorus: Mariah Carey
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 a 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 break down and cry
