The Breaks Lyrics
Artist: Kurtis Blow
Album: The Breaks 12"
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
And the IRS says they want to chat
And you can't explain why you claimed your cat
And Ma Bell sends you a whopping bill
With eighteen phone calls to Brzil
And you borrowed money from the mob
And yesterday you lost your job
Well, these are the breaks
Break it up, break it up, break it up
Throw your hands up in the sky
And wave 'em 'round from side to side
And if youdeserve a break tonight
Somebody say alright!
(All right) Say ho-oo!
(Ho-oo!) And you don't stop
Keep on, somebody scream!
(Owwwww!) 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 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, whatcha gonna do?
To the girl in green, don't be so mean
And the guy in red, say what I said
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!
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
He said his Cadilac was gold
But he didn't say it was ten years old
He tok you out to the Red Coach grill
But he forgot the cash and you paid the bill
And he told you the story of his life
But he forgot the part about...his wife! Huh! Huh!
Well, these are the breaks!
Break it up, break it up, break it up!
Break down!

I LOVE DIS FUCKIN SONG
this song s awesome no matter what generation you grew up in it just maks uou wanna move!!!! good times good times
A wonderful funky dance/rap song with actual hot guitar chops. This was when rap words went with the beat of the song to make for dance funkiness and not like now where they go in offbeat tangents with noisy computerized sounds and bass machines. Clap your hands and think about this song at work and see what coworkers and bosses say.

these are the breaks!A good clean fun dancing ,rap song back in the day.One of my favorite disco songs of the late 70's early 80's.It also became a popular saying or slogan,in conversation when something happened. people would say "thats the breaks! Now today it is different. people in conversation today say "it is what it is! That is cool too.I am old school, but new school is cool too.

I miss rap / hiphop songs not having to be nasty to be fun. They used to be just for grooving.. now they are teaching kids that "cash money hoes" is the way to be.
