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

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 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.

Yeah, I hope I catch a break.
