Break me down
Got no time for me
Even I
Still do anything for you
It's how I feel
Just how I live
But you wouldn't understand
I would never up and leave
I could never let you be
I could never let you free
I would never leave you down bad
Unless I fucked you down bad
And now I left you down bad
I know that it sounds bad or does it
And you
You would always come through
Fucking from room to room
The things I can make you do
And now you acting like you down bad
But are you really down bad
Damn that shit sound bad
But I know that I'm down bad
So fuck it
I got the D'usse (I got the du)
Fuck whatever you say (I got the du)
You out in the cold waiting at the gate
You think that you toothpaste (She got the tooth)
If I let her in she gone be walking round here acting all two-face
Until I pull out a blue face
Now she going up on a Tuesday yeah
I don't wanna talk, but you heard me
Girl I'm moving on, with no worries
And it's pushing pass 2:30
Got me thinking how she suck like Kirby
Let me put the bottle down
She got the top, she spin around
I hear a knock, cut the lights down
I don't make a sound
Girl I'm not a clown you won't
Break me down
Got no time for me
Even I
Still do anything for you
It's how I feel
Just how I live
But you wouldn't understand
See me
I would never up and leave
I could never let you be
I could never let you free
I would never leave you down bad
Unless I fucked you down bad
And now I left you down bad
I know that it sounds bad or does it

Break me down
I feel emotionally vulnerable and easily affected
Got no time for me
You don't prioritize or value my presence in your life
Even I
Despite everything
Still do anything for you
I would go to great lengths and make sacrifices for you
It's how I feel
These emotions are genuine and deeply ingrained
Just how I live
This is my way of navigating and experiencing life
But you wouldn't understand
You lack the capacity to comprehend my perspective
See me
Recognize and acknowledge me for who I am
I would never up and leave
I would never abruptly abandon or desert you
I could never let you be
I would never allow you to suffer or be in a negative state

And you
Referring to the person being addressed

Now she going up on a Tuesday yeah
Now she is enjoying life and having fun on a regular day
I don't wanna talk, but you heard me
I don't wish to engage in conversation, but I hope you understand my intentions
Girl I'm moving on, with no worries
I am progressing in life without any concerns or regrets
And it's pushing pass 2:30
The time is advancing and moving forward, potentially indicating late hours
Got me thinking how she suck like Kirby
I am contemplating how she performs oral sex excessively or skillfully
Let me put the bottle down
Allow me to stop consuming alcohol
She got the top, she spin around
She is skilled or adept at performing oral sex
I hear a knock, cut the lights down
I hear a sound, so I quickly turn off the lights
I don't make a sound
I remain silent or discreet
Girl I'm not a clown you won't
I am not foolish or easily manipulated, so you won't deceive me
