(Mo` Thugs Remix)
MARIAH CAREY featuring Bone thugs-n-harmony
[Birds chirping.]
Layzie:
Over, over. Don`t break down yet, it`s over.
Over, over. Don`t break down yet, it`s over.
Over, over.
Krazie:
Steady breakin` me on down.
Mariah:
Oooh.
Krazie:
Break, breakdown. Steady breakin` me on down.
Break, breakdown. Steady breakin` me on down.
Mariah:
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
O.K. to just walk away from the one thing that`s unyeilding and sacred to me.
Mariah:
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:
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:
Gotta get control and roll, roll, roll on.] Do you lash out and say, "How dare
you leave this way?" Do you hold on in vain as they just slip away?
Mariah:
Well, I guess I`m trying to be nonchalant [Krazie: Break, breakdown. Steady
breakin` me on down.] 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.
Wish:
Gonna break ya down, down, down, only if ya let it [Don`t let it.]. Everyday
crazy situations rockin` my mind tryin` to break me down, but I won`t let it.
Forget it. If ya feel the same way that I do, then let me help y`all, all
singin` tunes, sayin` "It`s all right, it`s all right, it`s all right, yeah."
Hopin` for the sun, but it looks like rain, P.O.D`ed, but it`s still the same.
Came far, but it`s been a long road. Trouble`s gonna come but we gotta stay
strong. Hold on.
Krayzie:
Aw, yeah, I often feel the pressures, y`all, but nevertheless Krayzie won`t
fall. It`s over. It`s endin` here [here]. I said it`s over. It`s endin` 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 bailin`, bailin`. Bailin`, baby, gotta get up, can`t take no
more. I`m headed for the door, come and take a look into a thug humble eye.
Tell me: if we lived a lie, would our souls unite?
Layzie:
Every new day is a test for me, so I just pray the Lord for Him to bless me,
please. There`s struggles I`m goin` through lately, breaks me down, set me
free. Let me be. Let me be. Who else do I have to rely on? Whose shoulder can a
thug go cry on? Can I get my vibe on? While you look into my eyes, you won`t
underestimate, and this soldier story, I`m`a tell you right now I`m fed up.
Wrong if I let my lead bust? Pac said keep your head up. Don`t let this world
get the best of you, I`m a stress you through it, if it`s over, over, over.
Don`t breakdown yet, it`s over.
Mariah:
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
