"Breakthrough" lyrics

I've learned ways to help myself get through
I've had to break through, I thought I was through
I said, "I hate you," talkin' to myself
So scared to face you, talkin' 'bout myself

Down for too long, can't be still, I must move on
Can't be weak, I must be strong
Can't let no one string me along
I've got myself, I'll be there if I need help
When I can count on no one else
'Cause on my own, I've done so well

I feel love now, happy for me, I make myself proud
Hands down, had to pick it up, caught with my pants down
Cried before, really, it's okay because I laugh now
Hands up, hands down, bands up, bands down

I gave you credit, you can't follow me, you can't go where I'm headed
Ties are severed, it's so hard to mend it, rather say forget it
Sympathetic, but I'm far from gullible, can't be pathetic
Let's avoid the whole endeavor and let's keep it copasetic

I've learned ways to help myself get through
I've had to break through, I thought I was through
I said, "I hate you," talkin' to myself
So scared to face you, still talkin' 'bout myself

Save me, don't break me
Come take me away
Save me, don't break me
Come take me away

Rockstar, Trench, baby, used to duck them cop cars
Never sold crack, but I'm still lookin' to get these rocks off
Had to lose some friends to find out really who my opps are
I'ma keep on goin', I don't care enough to stop y'all

Should've kept a fuckin' list of all the things that I did
I should've kept all the receipts for all the things that I give
I almost died for some niggas, now I'm choosin' to live
Never okay to just forget, but it's okay to forgive

I'm findin' peace in my decisions nowadays
In the past, I couldn't trust, it would eat me away
Now I'm on the right path, you can keep me away
'Cause I ain't hungry, now I'm pickin' where I'm eatin' today

Lately, I been in my bag, man, I know these niggas mad
I started speedin' fast, and they was hopin' I would crash
Money goin' Rockefeller, time to hit the damn dash
I'm a money millionaire because I'm rackin' in the cash

I've had ways to help myself get through
I've had a breakthrough, I thought I was through
I said, "I hate you," talkin' to myself
So scared to face you, still talkin' 'bout myself

Save me (save me), don't break me (break me)
Don't take me away
Save me (save me), don't break me (break me)
Mama, take me (take me) away
(Save me)
