[Chorus]
Break it down
I don't want nobody else to hear the sound
This love is a private affair
Interrupt the flow, no you better not dare
You got to break it on down
You got to break it on down

[Verse 1]
We agreeing to disagree, all for the greater good
My idea to break it off even though I don't think we should
How can we make it right? Don't get me wrong
We been doing this for so long, who want to be alone
Who wants to worry 'bout who's calling your phone
Or who I might be around whenever I'm not at home
So much old trauma leads to new drama
I know lies hurt but the truth haunts ya
I wanted a wife, not a baby mama
Still got you for life, I can't break my promise
Gave me Alani, now I got a purpose
Wish I could reverse every hurtful word but I ain't perfect
You ain't neither, it don't matter

[Chorus]
Break it down
I don't want nobody else to hear the sound
This love is a private affair
Interrupt the flow, no you better not dare
You got to break it on down
You got to break it on down
[Verse 2]
And I know, sometimes I was so immature
As I grow, realize I was just insecure
Issa couldn't even script it, peeping it from a distance
Staying together's safer and we just didn't wanna risk it
Explaining it to our lil' one like she wasn't a witness
Or telling her that I'm sorry, and she doesn't forgive me
You no longer getting along, but don't wanna move on
If you make your child suffer for it you know you wrong
So we gone wear these smiles, though they really fake
Or we gone stay together for our children's sake
Or we gone really move on and then relocate
Man that's eating me alive, I ain't even ate

[Chorus]
Break it down
I don't want nobody else to hear the sound
This love is a private affair
Interrupt the flow, no you better not dare
You got to break it on down
You got to break it on down
