I Need A Break...But I'd Rather Have A Breakthrough

Daddy taught me how to fight

Working hard all his life

I started out as a teen

And I remember these things

Calloused hands, Saturdays

You gotta fight to get your pay

And what I need, I know

But I'm about to lose control

I need a break but I'd rather have a breakthrough

I'm losing my sleep, running after you

But still I'd rather have a breakthrough

So I don't stop making moves

I need a break but I'd rather have a breakthrough

I'm tripping on hurdles, running after you

But I can see it right at my fingertips

Isn't it classic?

Mama said it's all right

If you cry, if you lose a fight

Daddy said dry it up

I'm proud of you not giving up

I've been battling so many years

And I've stood up to many fears

So keep the faith, this I know

But I'm about to lose control

I need a break but I'd rather have a breakthrough

But still I'd rather have a breakthrough

So I don't stop making moves

I need a break but I'd rather have a breakthrough

I'm tripping on hurdles, running after you

But I can see it right at my fingertips

Isn't it classic?

I don't know anymore

What am I waiting for

I know, I know I'm giving it all I have

I want, I want to give up so bad

How come I keep on running?

But I feel it coming

I feel it coming on

I need a break but I'd rather have a breakthrough

I'm losing my sleep, running after you

But still I'd rather have a breakthrough

So I don't stop making moves

I need a break but I'd rather have a breakthrough

I'm tripping on hurdles, running after you

But I can see it right at my fingertips

Isn't it classic?

I need to catch a break

I hope I catch a break
