Break You Off - The Roots, Musiq

Comin to break you off

I’m comin to break you off

1st verse

Bad misses throwing raspberry kisses on me You looking for direction girl I feel your vision on me Just don’t let him see you sweatin we ain’t 'sposed to be involved

Knowin when we get it off girl I mean it all

Keepin ya pheenin til you’re taken and tossed

And when I’m breakin it off there’s no denying the fact it’s strong

Cuz you got a man who’s probably playin his part

You probably breakin his heart

He’s trying to figure the reason you gone

Is it cuz he’s superficial?

Or is he too submissive?

Or did I come along and hit you with the futuristic?

Or is it cuz you really couldn’t see a future with him

All he bout is paper never took the time to choose or listen

You wanna get gripped up, flipped and thrown

And get strictly shown

The way to get in the zone.

Of course,

Dealing with this you won’t be taking a loss

You need to leave him alone and roll

With the one who’s breaking you off

2nd verse

Brother down the hall

The one you bound to call

Workaholics are really I’m rarely around at all

What we started got serious reprecautions in court

We had a chance to turn back, but look now it’s what

Late nights twistin something

Listenin to Neicey sing

She got the beef for you telling me you deeply

Appreciate the company, time we spend

I feel the same, it’s a shame you ain’t my girlfriend

Cuz listen, you need a brotha with the physical fix

Who come through in the mix

For you with no head tricks or fraud

You need a new position and who can get you open

Like eucalyptus and have ready to go for yours

Come on and work with me, you won’t get hurt with me Just keep it real and you’ll get broken off certainly

Dealing with this you won’t be taking a loss

You need to leave him alone and roll

With the one who’s breaking you off

3rd verse

Rollin down the highway, listening to Sade sing

The way the Smooth Operator move my way

You sitting beside me Looking like Friday Foster, Pam Grier structure

Look at your body

Keep each other thirsty, kisses like Hershey

But lips is sealed cuz we don’t want the controversy

I say I’m in town, you say you want it in the worst way

You probably told your man it was your mother’s birthday

Meanwhile it’s champagne chillin on ice

You ready for the freakiest things you’ve done in your life

We break it down like road dogs pulling a heist

You makin sounds like the vibe gotcha reaching your height

Prepare for flight

This is your captain

I’m getting strapped in There’s no denying the strength that it’s attraction

Girl working with this you won’t be taking a loss

So stop fooling your man and roll

With the one who’s breaking you off

Bridge

Baby, baby, baby

Don’t you worry bout

Nothing cuz I’m comin to Handle you no doubt

Whenever you want that thing you need

I got it and I aim to please

I’m coming over to give it to you baby

Chorus (fade out)
