Leela James - Break My Soul lyrics

[Verse 1: Leela James] I don't know what to say when I think about what I've been through It's been ups and downs like a carousel, yes, it's true When it comes, yeah, it hurts And all the pain's unrehearsed I wanna put it all in reverse [Pre-Chorus: Leela James] I wish I didn't know, know, know All the things you try not to show But it's hard to keep a real woman down We always bounce back, never rebound Still hold my head with a smile, ooh (No, no, no, no) [Chorus: Leela James] That's what happens when the love goes cold (Goes cold) And you feel like you gon' lose your soul Get up and put your heels on, baby It hurts, but, no, it ain't gon' break me Oh no, you can't take my crown away (Take it away) Ooh, you'll never break my soul [Verse 2: Leela James] You thought you had me (Had me, yeah) Thought I would not survive all the lies, but the truth is It's a blessing in disguise, I'm floatin' on Cloud 9 I moved on with my life, ooh-ooh [Pre-Chorus: Leela James] I wish I didn't know, yeah (Know, know, know) All the things you try not to show But it's hard to keep a real woman down We always bounce back, never rebound Still hold my head with a smile (No, no, no, no) [Chorus: Leela James] That's what happens when the love goes cold (Goes cold) And you feel like you gon' lose your soul Get up and put your heels on, baby It hurts, but, no, it ain't gon' break me Oh no, you can't take my crown away (Take it away) Talk to 'em, Mumu (You'll never break my soul) [Verse 3: Mumu Fresh] The Lord is my shepherd, so I shall not run Gotta repeat it 'til I mean it, God, lift me up Though He maketh me to lie down in green pastures Don't think He meant for me to lie down with lyin' ba*tards Who would rather see my soul captured and fractured But you must not know 'bout me I gets that last laughter I never ran backwards, chasin' after cancer Managin' this damage No, I can't be your rafters no more (Thank God) Thank You for resilience Now, I ain't one in a million, I'm from a lineage of brilliance Who taught me how to bounce back from scrimmages And rise up like phoenixes from pillages Boy, you creatin' a monster So I'm back on my goals, every day I'm gettin' stronger I'm a whole vibe, baby, even when I'm somber Watch this glow-up from the beaches over yonder [Chorus: Leela James] That's what happens when the love goes cold (Goes cold) And you feel like you gon' lose your soul Get up and put your heels on, baby It hurts, but, no, it ain't gon' break me Oh no, you can't take my crown away (Take it away) Ooh, you'll never break my soul [Outro: Leela James] (Love goes cold, goes cold) My soul (Heels on, baby) (Ain't gon' break me) (Take it away)
