(J-Baby)
[Intro]
Woah…Can you listen to me? Can you listen to me? I been having breakdowns, woah. I been having breakdowns, my mental health been going down. I just need to talk to someone that won’t judge me, I need someone to love me for me. Breakdowns, woah.

[Verse]
So where my real friends at? The ones that claim to love me. I’m still sitting here crying like a lost puppy. They only hit me when they need me, never just to see me. They don’t wanna come over and chill no more, I don’t even know what I’m trying for. Cause they don’t. The days keep getting longer, bills ain’t getting smaller, stomach getting bigger, losing confidence in my figure. Will I ever be good enough? Cause to me I’ll never be enough, woah…

[Chorus]
I been having breakdowns. Can you listen, can you listen to me, I been having breakdowns. My mental health been going down. I just need to talk to someone that won’t judge me, I need someone to love me for me. Breakdowns, woah…

[Bridge]
How I’m feeling? I be mad stressed, shit be going wrong, I can’t handle it. I’m really tryna be a man about it, they say I need to find some help but I been great without it.

(L. Muncy)

[Verse]
They said I need to find some help, but I been great without it. Let me in your heart for good, don’t be late about it. And why you sitting there acting all phony? From rolling gas to popping tags you was my homie, I been having breakdowns…But would you listen, would you listen to me? I been having breakdowns…A couple dollars ain’t nothing to me. Ayo, stay solid, remain true, that’s all a nigga ask. I swear this love will last, no need for kissing ass. Embrace the love we have and leave the drama in the past. Castin’ spells, wishing wells within an hourglass. See only time will tell baby girl like a diamond. Under pressure, stressing through the end till ya shining. It’s all about the timing, my words send her flying, to our private island. Her waves are inspiring. Factsamillie baby girl, you can have the world. Maybe a crib, with some kids and a bunch of pearls. See we can see the world, living the best life. Too many things went left, so I took a right. And that’s the truth, if I’m lying you can show me proof. I’m living proof through my eyes, let em’ talk to you. I tried to make it work, but you don’t want it to. So we drifting off, until we dead and gone, Muncy.

[Chorus]
Woah…But can you listen, can you listen to me? I been having breakdowns, my mental health been going down, I just need to talk to someone that won’t judge me, I need someone to love me for me. Breakdowns, woah.

[Outro]
(Woah…Can you listen to me? Listen to me)




(Listen to me, listen to me.)
(Listen to me, listen to me.)
