Can’t Be Broken Lyrics

[Chorus: Thomas Troelsen]
You cannot break down what can't be broken
Out of all the rankless, I was chosen
When all of the lights they get low
And all of the curtains they close
You cannot break down what can't be broken

[Verse 1: Lil Wayne]
They could do all they can do but they can't break unbreakable
They scared to face the truth because they hate the view
They taste the juice, I hope it make 'em puke, I'm breakin' loose
Should I throw up the deuce or should I wave the deuce?
In 1982, my momma take me to a space shuttle
Say, now I'm raising you and ain't no baby food
Unless you go and take the neighbors' food

And be afraid of who? I made the loot
When money went from army green to navy blue
I said salute, bulletproof, I gave 'em proof
Sometimes feel like my head a screw, twisted like tornadoes too
Man, I'ma need some Krazy Glue
Her walls is what I'm breaking through
Her nails, she gon' break a few

You can never break me down, and I can't hit the brakes for you
(Errr!)

[Chorus: Thomas Troelsen & Lil Wayne]
You cannot break down what can't be broken
Out of all the rankless, I was chosen (Yeah)
When all of the lights they get low (Low)
And all of the curtains they close (They close)
You cannot break down (You can't) what can't be broken (Uh)
[Post-Chorus: Lil Wayne & Thomas Troelsen]
G-code, G-code, we can't break the G-code
We bros (Can't be broken)
Yeah, we bros, we bros, we can't break for these hoes
G-code (Can't be broken)

[Verse 2: Lil Wayne]
I ain't finna break or fix the brakes, you emulate
I'm laughing in your face, now fix your face, I can't disintegrate
'Cause I facilitate a mil' a day for like a million days
At least the bills are paid
, the children safe, want to get away?
No, I'm here to stay, I'm really great, but don't discriminate
'Cause I done seen a mirror break behind a pretty face

You stickin' out your chest, your titties fake
Don't make me pick your fate
I'm pickin' out a mate, she get replaced
The heart was built to break
I'm smoking icky, watching Ricki Lake
I got a lawyer that turn any case into a pillow case
My killers straight, let's do some Q&A
You saw the news today, got news to break and rules to break
It hurt to say, they want to get Lil Tune to break
It's worth the wait, commercial break

[Chorus: Thomas Troelsen & Lil Wayne]
You cannot break down what can't be broken (G-code)
Out of all the rankless, I was chosen
When all of the lights they get low
And all of the curtains they close
You cannot break down what can't be broken (Uh)
[Post-Chorus: Lil Wayne & Thomas Troelsen]
G-code, G-code, we can't break the G-code
We bros (Can't be broken)
Yeah, we bros, we bros, we can't break for these hoes
G-code (Can't be broken)
