The Breaks - Kurtis Blow
Clap your hands everybody
If you got what it takes
'Cause I'm Kurtis Blow and I want you to know
That these are the breaks
Breakes on a bus brakes on a car
Breaks to make you a superstar
Breaks to win and breaks to lose
But these here breaks will rock your shoes
And these are the breaks
Break it up break it up break it up
If your woman steps out with another man
That's the breaks that's the breaks
And she runs off with him to Japan
Thats the breaks thats the breaks
And the IRS says they want to chat
Thats the breaks thats the breaks
And you can't explain why you claimed your cat
Thats the breaks thats the breaks
And Ma Bell sends you a whopping bill
Thats the breaks thats the breaks
With eighteen phone calls to Brazil
Thats the breaks thats the breaks
And you borrowed money from the mob
Thats the breaks thats the breaks
And yesterday you lost your job
Thats the breaks thats the breaks
Well these are the breaks
Break it upbreak it upbreak it up
Throw your hands up in the sky
And wave 'em 'round from side to side
And if you deserve a break tonight
Somebody say alright
All right say hooo
Hooo and you don't stop
Keep on somebody scream
Break down
Breaks on a stage breaks on a screen
Breaks to make your wallet lean
Breaks run cold and breaks run hot
Some folks got 'em and some have not
But these are the breaks
Break it upbreak it upbreak it up
Break down
To the girl in brown stop messing around
Break it up break it up
To the guy in blue whatcha gonna do
Break it up break it up
To the girl in green don't be so mean
Break it up break it up
And the guy in red say what I said
Break it up break it up
Break down
Brakes on a plane brakes on a train
Breaks to make you go insane
Breaks in love breaks in war
But we got the breaks to get you on the floor
And these are the breaks
Break it up break it up break it up
Break down yo
