It's broken
I know what you want
I'm not a yo-yo
I'm not a thing you let go
<Interlude>
I keep hanging around
Got some attachment to you
Way down is still
where you get through
I told myself
it isn't right but isn't wrong
Yet I've found
The more you hug and call me
The more I need protecting
Can't hear myself singing
the same sad song
Oh, and it's not hard
to figure out
Why I am never
too far from the floor
You can only take me up and down
I've got to move forward
So I've cut the cord
It's broken
And I can't let that hope in
I know what you want
I'm not a yo-yo
I'm not a thing you let go
You're leaving me no choice then
I'll be on my way
I'm not a yo-yo
I don't come back
when I'm thrown
I keep hanging around
But can't defy gravity
Rebound everytime you touch me
I've told myself
it isn't right but isn't wrong
The more you high and low me
The more I need stability
Can't hear myself singing
this for too long
Oh, and now you've come
to face the fact
But I'm running
fast as I can to the door
'Cause you wanna
swing me up and back
And I've got to move forward
So I've cut the cord
It's broken
And I can't let that hope in
I know what you want
I'm not a yo-yo
I'm not a thing you let go
You're leaving me no choice then
I'll be on my way
I'm not a yo-yo
I don't come back
when I'm thrown
I'll be on my way
I'm not a yo-yo
I'm not a thing you let go
Didn't I adore you
Didn't I bend to
keep you satisfied Didn't I
Didn't I assure you
For every climb
there is a downward slide
that I can't ride
Didn't I adore you
Didn't I bend to
keep you satisfied Didn't I
Didn't I assure you
For every climb
there is a downard slide
I had to cut the cord
I know what you want
I'm not a yo-yo
I'm not a thing you let go
You're leaving me no choice then
I'll be on my way
I'm not a yo-yo
I don't come back
when I'm thrown
I know what you want
I'm not a yo-yo
I'm not a thing you let go
I'm not a thing you let go
I'm not a thing you let go
I'm not a thing you let go
I'm not a thing you let go
Oh no no
I'll be on my way
I'm not a yo-yo
I'm not a thing you let go
I'm not a thing you let go
I'm not a thing you let go
I'm not a thing you let go
I'm not a thing you let go
I'm not a thing you let go
THere's a lotta half-ass niggaz
thinking they can rhyme
But their style is not buttah,
it's more like Busta without
the A You never think
of nuttin fresh to say
The freshest DJ
from the state of Ohio
I remember when you battled,
cutting up Survival
Nots toe fucked with,
used to brag and boast
Packed up my Technics, now
I'm on the West coast, now I
Damn, we gotta get that shit
off our chest nigga
Yo before we get up out
I wanna shout it
out to my nigga Diamond D
