Kurtis Blow - The BreaksLyrics

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. Breaks on a bus, breaks on a car. Breaks that make you a superstar. Breaks to win and breaks to lose. But these here breaks will rock your shoes. Well, 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. (That's the breaks, that's the breaks!) And the IRS say they want to chat (That's the breaks, that's the breaks!) And you can't explain why you claimed your cat. (That's the breaks, that's the breaks!) And Ma Bell sent you a whopping bill (That's the breaks, that's the breaks!) With 18 phone calls to Brazil. (That's the breaks, that's the breaks!) And you borrowed money from the mob (That's the breaks, that's the breaks!) And yesterday you lost your job. (That's the breaks, that's the breaks!) Well, these are the breaks. Break it up, break it up, break it up! Throw your hands up to the sky And wave 'em 'round from side to side. If you deserve a break tonight, somebody say alright. (Alright!) Say ho! (Ho!) And you don't stop, a-keep on. Somebody scream! (Aaaaaaah!) Break down! Breaks on a stage, breaks on a screen. Breaks that make your wallet lean. Breaks run cold and breaks run hot. But some have got 'em and some have not. Well, these are the breaks. Break it up, break it up, break it up, Break down! To the girl in brown, stop messing around. (Break it up, break it up!) To the guy in blue, what 'cha 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 to the guy in red, say what'd I say? (Break it up, break it up!) Break down! Breaks on a plane, breaks on a train. Breaks that make you go insane. Breaks in love, breaks in war. But we got the breaks to get you on the floor. Well, these are the breaks. Break it up, break it up, break it up, Break down, yuh! (Instrumental break) A-just do it, just do it. Just do it, do it, do it. Just do it, just do it. Just do it, do it, do it. Just do it, just do it. Just do it, do it, do it. Just do it, just do it. Just do it, do it, do it. You say last week you met the perfect guy (That's the breaks, that's the breaks!) And he promised you the stars in the sky. (That's the breaks, that's the breaks!) And he said his Cadillac was gold, (That's the breaks, that's the breaks!) But he didn't say it was 10 years old. (That's the breaks, that's the breaks!) And he took you out to the Red Coach Grill, (That's the breaks, that's the breaks!) But he forgot the cash and you paid the bill. (That's the breaks, that's the breaks!) And he told you the story of his life, (That's the breaks, that's the breaks!) But he forgot the part about his wife. (That's the breaks, that's the breaks!) Huh, huh! Well, these are the breaks. Break it up, break it up, break it up, Break down, yuh!
