Breakadawn

Ah one two, ah one two
Ah one two, ah one two
Breakadawn, breakadawn (ah one two, ah one two)
Breakadawn, breakadawn (ah one two, ah one two)
Breakadawn, breakadawn (ah one two, ah one two)
Breakadawn, breakadawn (ah one two, ah one two)
Breakadawn, breakadawn (ah one two, ah one two)
Breakadawn, breakadawn (ah one two, ah one two)

(Break of-) I was born in the Boogie Down cat scan
Where my building fell down on the rats and (ah one two, ah one two)
People sold the super on a trip to the penile (penile)
While I settle off the shores of the Long Isle (ah one two, ah one two)
My file is clean, I mean my mind is clear when I transmit
I am the man-ner of the family 'cause the pants fit (ah one two, ah one two)
I want to let forensics prove that I can mends groove
With the thread from needle outta hay, wanna say (ah one two, ah one two)

Salutations to the nation of the Nubians
We 'bout to place you in that three feet of stew again (ah one two, ah one two)
I got the frequency to shatter Mrs. Jones' perm
I gotta "hey love" all the honies, cost me short term (ah one two, ah one two)
Tallying a score for the shottie in the jacket
For the brother bes a nigga when he packs it (ah one two, ah one two)
So get your butt out the sling, I stung Muhammad, float a note
That means I'm def, so like the autographs, I'm signed until the break (ah one two, ah one two)

Breakadawn, breakadawn (ah one two, ah one two)
Breakadawn, breakadawn (ah one two, ah one two)
Breakadawn, breakadawn (ah one two, ah one two)
Breakadawn, breakadawn (ah one two, ah one two)

(Break of-) Ayo, groove with the mayor, hazard on the sayer
Wave the 18 mill', even still
Sack a bag of troubles, make a single double
Loop the coin and join the minimum wage
I had a plan if I was the man, I'd pro the jects
Lay it low and leg mad cassettes
I unconditioned my ways of the everyday sunset
Wagin' my days to the one bet

'Cause your breaks'll have the carrot of cakes, whether mine (na-na, na na na na-na)
Out of line, I breeze into the early mornin' (na-na, na na na-na)
Freak the WIC call and get a tap on my shoulder (na-na, na na na na-na)
'Cause the days of the breaks be just about over (na-na, na na na-na)
The arts of the six won't play my bag of tricks (na-na, na na na na-na)
I got the sevens in my pocket somewhere (na-na, na na na-na)
Reasons for the Cheer All Temperature here (na-na, na na na na-na)
I keep it to the rear, and then I'm exploding (na-na, na na na-na)

I be the fab, I be the fabulous but see, unlike the Chi
I got the flea up in the name (ah one two, ah one two)
Can't no one bend my cousin from the Peter Piper like the others
Latchin' on to when I caught the fame (ah one two, ah one two)
Pass the task to ask me 'bout the Native Tongue again, my friend
I tell you, Jungle Brothers On the Run (ah one two, ah one two)
I've shaken hands with many devils in the industry
Believe the Genesis like Phil with stills mean that I'm def (ah one two, ah one two)
Like the autographs, I'm signed until the break

Breakadawn, breakadawn (ah one two, ah one two)
Breakadawn, breakadawn (ah one two, ah one two)
Breakadawn, breakadawn (ah one two, ah one two)
Breakadawn, breakadawn (ah one two, ah one two)

We in the mornin', after, and, but in the end I be the is
'Cause in the midst, man, it's alright (ah one two, ah one two)
Momma got the book to my day-life
My pops got the belt, so best believe we sail the wave (ah one two, ah one two)
To the Long I laid the anchor in the 'Ville
And how I relate, I stay inside of my gates (ah one two, ah one two)
Break days mess up my mind, ground zero degrees
And the weather feels fine (ah one two, ah one two)

You opened my eyes man, thought I had a man
But how could I eye-scan, I wasn't around (ah one two, ah one two)
I seen the states and played the dates in the far-far
Gathered the new, from the zoas around (ah one two, ah one two)
Grew old with Mikey Rodes and played the codes
Sometimes I don't budge, without my cous' Fuzz (ah one two, ah one two)
A simple, "How ya do?" Ah check it from my friends and my crew
Makes it definitely special (ah one two, ah one two)

Now there's no Shiny Happy People in the crew, we play the rough (na-na, na na na na-na)
I got the huff, and puff, to blow the house low (na-na, na na na-na)
You know the never-ending factor while I'm over, tell a squid (na-na, na na na na-na)
I know an Enterprising brother, so report to the bridge (na-na, na na na-na)
I bounce a ball with my left, a squid with my right (na-na, na na na na-na)
('Cause a squid is just a punk) Yo, he deserved to lose the fight
I might meander 'cross your dream, travellin' up the stream (na-na, na na na na-na)
Plug wonder wonder why you're lonely tonight (na-na, na na na-na)

We see the girls scream as if we're shocked by the live shell
Let's round 'em up and get 'em back to the hotel
Motel, holiday, inn-fact
I'm gonna let you know, once again, that De La Soul
Is sure to show you we will hit the charter harder than the normal rappin' bull
(Ah one two, ah one two)
