[Intro]
Breakdown!
If you want it, you got it, you got, you got it, you got it, you got it
But you got to come get it
If you really want to rock and really want to sway
Then here's your day
I got the breakdown!
I really got the breakdown!
Party people! (Yeah!)
I'm gonna need a little help for the one to five countdown
Are you ready? (Yeah!)
Break it down!
(One, two, three, four, five, breakdown!)
[Chorus]
I really got the breakdown!
[Verse 1]
I know I understand partyin' based on strollin'
Rollin' through the party scene
What I mean, that's there's always a way to make a party okay
Today, we gonna make this party sway
What I truly represent, the party content
I can't give up, because I'm so hellbent
I want the "one-for-all, all-for-one" phrase to be
Recited as an anthem at every par-T
La Rock
[Chorus]
I got the breakdown!
I really got the breakdown!
[Verse 2]
I can be hard like metal, or soft like butter
So emcees in the place, please don't stutter
When you hear my name, you'll feel no shame
'Cause at the end it will all turn out the same
So, jump and grab a girl, let's break the ice
Cooperate, or I’ll be forced to switch the dice
'Cause I’m slick as oil, fresh like coil
Won’t rust or wrinkle like aluminum foil
Don’t try to resist, or even flake
'Cause I’ll box you out 'til you begin to shake
I won’t damage you, or leave a single scratch
But I’ll make you regret you were considered a match
To confront or deal, or shall I say feel?
The knowledge and power of these concentrated skills
To describe these rhymes will be difficult to you
I have written documents just to prove to you
I’m the originating ruler of the MC kingdom
Won’t run or bite, only write and sing 'em
Take this advice, tell it to your friend
T La Rock's gonna rock 'til the party ends
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Verse 3]
My name is T La Rock, I got the heart of a lion
I never give up, I just keep on tryin'
Like bats can't see, the sting of a bee
Like somethin' amazin' you see on TV
Just like the old, old time to the early days
My name is T La Rock and I'm here to amaze
With a certain kind of power, I could never go sour
Everyday on the hour, sucker emcees I devour
Like a knob on the door, the key to the lock
If you don't have the key, then you'll have to knock
When you come to the door, just have a grin
'Cause if you don't, then you won't get in
Be yourself, don't try to act fly
'Cause if you do, I might pass you by
'Cause I'm known to rock a party, never endin' abrupt
So, come on party people, get up, and get up and get down
[Chorus]
I really got the breakdown!
[Verse 4]
His technique will astonish though the topping board with skill
You are free to inquire at the harmony field
His continual, perennial master mix
His precision or decision of the record that he mixed
Like the force of a quake, the record he will shake
More credit you will give him for the rhythm that he makes
[Scratching]
Some find it hard to comprehend how two records can blend
That's when we try to simplify and mix 'em again
The records he will switch, then slow down the pitch
With precise ingenuity a thing it will twitch
Causing the record to move back and forth
The fader east and west, the records are the north
His finger now attached to the record like a latch
A new sound will develop better known as a scratch
[Scratching]
[Chorus]
I got the breakdown!
[Outro]
Party people! (Yeah!)
Gonna need a little help for the one to five countdown
Are you ready? (Yeah!)
(One, two, three, four, five!)
Breakdown!
