Breakdown Lyrics - Cole World: The Sideline Story - J. Cole

Look, I just shed tears homie and now I ain't to proud to admit it 

Just seen my father for the first time in a minute 

And when I say a minute I mean years man 

Damn, a whale could have swam in them tears fam 

Cause as I left em' I reflected on my younger days 

When it was just me and my brother and my mother played 

Father, cause no other man bothered 

Not even my biological, it never seemed logical 

But I accepted it cause I ain't know no better 

Thought I was brighter than a Polo sweater 

No pops was like Martin with no Coretta 

So many things you could have told me 

And saved me the trouble of letting my mistakes show me 

I feel like you barely know me 

And that's a shame cause our last name is the same 

That blood type flowing through our veins is the same 

My mama left you and it may be that anger's to blame 

But that's no excuse, only you and God know the truth 

And why you only call monthly, barely ever saw me 

Spend some summers with you and played with my cousin Maury 

Maybe I should be tellin' you fuck you cause you selfish 

But I want a father so bad, I can't help but...

Break down, I break down 

Can't help but break down 

I never thought I'd see my mama on that shit, man 

It's fucking with her body, now she sick, damn 

I wanted a big house with a white picket fence and a pool 

Who would have ever thought that it would come to this, man? 

Quicksand is what this life feel like 

That shit these rappers kick is nothing like real life 

You made a milli off of servin' hard white? yeah right 

My mama tell you what addicted to that pipe feel like 

Stupid niggas, I heard the cops be shooting niggas 

I swear to god, wish I could bullet proof my niggas 

Can't get no jobs, but they still recruiting niggas 

We tryna stand tall when it get too crucial niggas 

Break down! We break down 

We break down 

We break down 

break, break down

He's serving time, locked down 

And she don't want nobody to know, his daughter 25 pounds 

By the time he get out, she gon' be 4 

Now will his girl stay down? 

Ain't no doubt she love him -- yeah that's for sure 

But temptation stays round 

And if she strayed, how could he ever know? 

And so, she goes to the club on the weekend 

A little freaking, but them niggas holla 

But she never speaking, but tonight I see the devil creeping 

Cause she been lonely, she ain't felt a man in 7 seasons 

Damn! She do the best that she can 

Her mama telling her to find another man 

She college educated with a felon boyfriend 

That's what she thinking tonight 

Maybe she's right, but please 

Stay down mama! Gotta be strong, don't break down mama! 

Please. 

Stay down mama! Gotta be strong, don't break down mama! 

don't break down 

don't break down 

don't break down 

don't break down 

break, break down
