Break Down

Lend me a cheval and watch me dig up the surface Let these feelings and emotions buried in me awaken Been frustrated for so long I don't know where to start No one to talk to but myself so the shit stay inside Bottled up waiting to spill out on this paper Been caught up with the world for so long I forgot they were in there Been piling up for a while I can't take it no more Ain't even sure if I know how to address them no more Still ima try even though I'm not high Or got an ounce of liquor inside me to keep me running off with the mouth This ain't a song this is a sneak peek into my soul Like "Catching Fire" man I let this shit burn My only concern is can anybody relate I'm zig zagging through life while the world keeps straight I'm trying to learn how to appreciate the smaller things in life like The nature of a flower as it grows and blooms And brings more color to the world we live in Cause everybody talking black and white like They watching television shows in the early 50's To much shit up on my plate so I sit and write About whatever it don't really matter Long as I get the shit out and it makes me feel better Cause its the only therapy that I'll agree to I'm looking at the world like the shit is see through Before I break down I need to get some shit out I won't cry so I gotta let the song cry Can't overwhelm myself with emotions Gotta keep moving with the motions Before I break down I need to sort out my thoughts They run deep so I gotta let the song bleed Can't overwhelm myself so I let them fly Before I drown too deep in them Before I break down I need to get some shit out I won't cry so I gotta let the song cry Can't overwhelm myself with emotions Gotta keep moving with the motions Before I break down I need to sort out my thoughts They run deep so I gotta let the song bleed Can't overwhelm myself so I let them fly Before I drown too deep in them It's funny how when you are a kid you rush to get older But when your older all you dream about is being a kid The only worries that I had were are my boys coming out to play Or writing up a list of who's invited to my birthday And it's sad that little boy is gone Never to be seen again look how I've grown Look in the mirror all I see is a man who've adapted to a fucked up world Ain't even got time to think about the shit that made me Shit is crazy it done made me hasty I used to be humbled now I'm addicted to a lifestyle Where everybody's hostile And all we think about is fucking money So easily deceived we believe anything Just put it in a book and tell em it's god's will Power beats change any day of the year You holla revolution with the same mindset that built this system And as I sit and observer Can't help but notice how depressing the shit had me before Obsessing over the news wishing all politics would die Stressing over who's a mason and who isn't Like the shit could do me any better if I knew My life was blurred like a foggy window after dew But as I whipped it away I realized That life is just perceptions on perspectives homie Before I break down I need to get some shit out I won't cry so I gotta let the song cry Can't overwhelm myself with emotions Gotta keep moving with the motions Before I break down I need to sort out my thoughts They run deep so I gotta let the song bleed Can't overwhelm myself so I let them fly Before I drown too deep in them Before I break down I need to get some shit out I won't cry so I gotta let the song cry Can't overwhelm myself with emotions Gotta keep moving with the motions Before I break down I need to sort out my thoughts They run deep so I gotta let the song bleed Can't overwhelm myself so I let them fly Before I drown too deep in them Yo Don't be waiting on a savior You waiting for someone to free you Free yourself free your mind You waiting for someone to save you Save yourself homie Ay
