Lyrics

[Intro] Breakdown! If you want it, you got it, you got, you got it, you got it,yougot it But yougot to come get it If youreally 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!
