BREAKDOWN: [Xscape & Mariah]
I know that you’ll be back boy
when your days and your nights 
get a little bit colder
I know that you’ll be right back baby
oh baby believe me it’s only a matter of time

[Da Brat]
Who brings the ruckus and the pain like Ness
it’s evident tha residents of So So Def
got the industry on lock where outsiders can’t enter 
ever since the arrival of this west side representer 
who rocks your musicbox and break down your structure 
you fantasize as you visualize me as your dreamlover (WHOA!)
with your emotions unplugging your daydream face
reality reason through mc’s enflicting fatalities 
ain’t no cap on my salary
I’m gettin’ g’s if you heard of me’s 
then you know that we’s makin’ g’s 
let’s Xscape with Mariah Carey 
and me to tha back steady 
stacking papers smokin’ on fat stacks of danks 
see to some I’m a hero of this 
feel on file but that’s my style 
and they don’t pay me nor can they fade me 
so what I do is keep it true and real 
for my peeps in that street 
cause to them I’ma always be their baby

[Mariah]
May we always be together
In the sands of time

(Repeat Reprise Out To Fade)
