Break Me: Excerpt by The Cross Lyrics
[Verse 1: Cross]
They tryna break me like the summer
I ain't the type of person you can just make fun of
Success; you know I don't run from
If you really want to live, then you know where I come from
I know I try to hustle hard everyday
Niggas try to get money each and every way
Was in Erwin, but then I went down to Clay
Came back to Erwin cause that's the place I want to stay
Breaking me, there really ain't no reason
You know they tryna break me like putting me in a treason
I know it's hard to forget, but really just keep believing
You know I'm gon' come around, I'm changing just like the seasons
But, you should already know
I know I'm gon' be better though
Living life, it is long
What you should really do is listen to this song
It go
[Hook]
It was alright, before I found my path
It was a better a better have
But I made it out of them trenches like I should
Doing things I never thought I could
Making moves I never thought I would
(And they know I did it)
Even though I did, they still will try to break me
[Verse 2]
Yeah, they tryna break me
Man, how could you hate me
"There's no reason for you to throw hate, C"
But how could I move on?
"Man, you just got to stay strong"
But there's no way to play it cool
"Look, you just sound like a fool
Forget all these "hows" and "buts"
Do you want to trust me or your gut?"
I trust you, you know I do
Back to this joint, I just gotta show the proof
If you don't know me, then get out the booth
If you didn't know, it was God I was talking to
[Hook 2]
It was alright, before I found my path
It was a better a better have
But I made it out of them trenches like I should
Doing things I never thought I could
Making moves I never thought I would
(And they know I did it)
Even though I did, they still will try to break me
And now I'm fighting cause they tryna break me
And I know that they tryna break me
Yeah, they tryna break me
They tryna break me like the summer
I ain't the type of person you can just make fun of
Success; you know I don't run from
If you really want to live, then you know where I come from
I know I try to hustle hard everyday
Niggas try to get money each and every way
Was in Erwin, but then I went down to Clay
Came back to Erwin cause that's the place I want to stay
Breaking me, there really ain't no reason
You know they tryna break me like putting me in a treason
I know it's hard to forget, but really just keep believing
You know I'm gon' come around, I'm changing just like the seasons
But, you should already know
I know I'm gon' be better though
