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 hand 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. momma said, "it's all right if you cry if you lose a fight", and 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. oh, i don't know anymore, what am i waiting for?, i know i'm giving it all i have, 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. oh, i need to catch a break, yeah, i hope i catch a break
