Lyrics
Uh one two, uh one two
Uh one two, uh one two
Breakadawn, breakadawn (uh one two, uh one two)
Breakadawn, breakadawn (uh one two, uh one two)
Breakadawn, breakadawn (uh one two, uh one two)
Breakadawn, breakadawn (uh one two, uh one two)
Breakadawn, breakadawn (uh one two, uh one two)
Break of-
I was born in the Boogie Down cat scan
Where my building fell down on the rats and
People sold the super on a trip to the penile (penile)
While I settle off the shores of the Long Isle
My file is clean, I mean my mind is clear when I transmit
I am the manner of the family cause the pants fit
I want to let forensics prove, that I can mends Groove
Wit the thread from needle outta hay, I wanna say
Salutations to the nation of the Nubians
We bout to place you in that 3 Feet of stew again
I got the frequency to shatter Mrs. Jones' perm
I gotta "Hey Love" all the honeys cause they're short term
Tallyin the score I'm for the shottie in the jacket
For the brother he's a nigga when he packs it
So get your butt out the sling, I stung Muhammad float a note
That means I'm def, so like the autographs you sign until the break
Breakadawn, breakadawn
(Ah one two, ah one two)
Breakadawn, breakadawn
(Uh one two, uh one two)
Breakadawn, breakadawn
(Uh one two, uh one two)
Breakadawn, breakadawn
(Uh one two, uh one two)
Break of-
Ayo, groove with the mayor, hazard on the sayer
Wave the eighteen mill, eat a still
Sack or bag of troubles, make the single double
Loop the coin and join the minimum wage
I had a plan if I was the man, I'd throw the J
Lay it low and late night I get sessed
Uncondition my ways, of the everyday sunset
Wagin’ my days, to the one bet
Cause your breaks'll have the carrot of cakes, whether mine
Out of line, I breeze into the early mornin'
Freak the WIC call and get a tap on my shoulder
Cause the days of the breaks, be just about over
The arts of the six won't play my bag of tricks
I got the sevens in my pocket somewhere
Reasons for the Cheer All Temperature here
I keep it to the rear, and then I'm exploding
I be the fab, I be the fabulous but see unlike the Chi
I got the flea up in the name (ah one two, ah one two)
Can't no one bend my cousin from the Peter Piper like the others
Latchin on to when I caught the fame (ah one two, ah one two)
Pass the task to ask me bout the Native Tongue again my friend
I tell you Jungle Brothers On the Run (ah one two, ah one two)
I'm shakin’ hands with many devils in the industry
Believe the Genesis like Phil with stills mean that I'm def
So like the autographs you sign until the
Breakadawn, breakadawn
(Uh one two, uh one two)
Breakadawn, breakadawn
(Uh one two, uh one two)
Breakadawn, breakadawn
(Uh one two, uh one two)
Breakadawn, breakadawn
(Uh one two, uh one two)
We in the mornin' at the end, but in the end I be the is
Cause in the mix, man, it's alright
Momma got the rhythm to my day-life
My pops gots enough so best to leave or sail the waves
To the Long I laid the anchor in the 'Ville
And how I relate, I stay inside of my gates
Paper days, mess up my mind, ground zero degrees
And the weather feels fine
You opened my eyes man, thought I had a man
But how could I eye-scan, I wasn't around
I seen the states and played the dates in the far-far
Gathered the new, from the zoas around
Grew up with Mikey Rodes and played the codes
Sometimes I don't budge, without my cous' Fuzz
A simple, "How ya do?" Ah check it from my friends and my crew
Makes it definitely special
Now there's no ‘Shiny Happy People’ in the crew we play the rough
I got the huff, and puff, to blow the house low
You know the never-ending factor while I'm over, tell a squid
I know an Enterprising brother, so report to the bridge
I bounce a ball with my left, a squid with my right
(Cause a squid is just a punk)
Yo he deserved to lose the fight
I might meander 'cross your dream, travellin' up the stream
Plug Wonder Wonder Why you're lonely tonight
We see the girls scream as if we're shocked by the live shell
Let's round em up and get 'em back to the hotel
Motel, holiday, inn-fact
I'm gonna let you know, once again, that De La Soul
Is sure to show you we will hit the charter harder
Than the normal rappin' fool
(Uh one two, uh one two)

Growing up as a punk skater in the late 90's early 2000's I despised rap. Then I found this song by accident and it opened up a whole new world to me. Now I have a newfound respect for old school rap ❤

[@korgy.g9581]

I relate to this so much, skater of the same era. Grew up on grunge and nu metal, I despised rap up until I was about 8 years old and came across 93 'til infinity - souls of mischief. It opened up a whole new avenue of music for me, from that moment on I was HOOKED on hip hop. It's been my go to genre ever since. Respect from the UK.

[@dominic3096]

Skating a hip-hop just goes together so well 😅

[@genoory5090]

We appreciate you recognizing our era of music💯. The 90s had a versatility of music you can relate to & vibe. Hip hop can fit any situation you experience💯. When you listen to it, you can actually picture it as they made the lyrical seem realistic & understanding, relatable 💯. It was much better than this new era of rap. Its trash!

@adriancortez3965 "I Can't Help It" is playing the entire time. "Break of Dawn" is from Smokey Robinson's "Quiet Storm". "Nanananananana" is from a Bar-kays song. The title escapes me. Go on Who Sampled.

Then finally I was listening to Spotify today and it played with recommended shuffle playlist after I had just finished work on during my drive home. Then I yelled “Breakadawn!!!,De la soul!! I finally found it again!” with a smile on my face. I’m so happy they have the rights to their music again. God bless em’.😊

Teens and young kids talk that “old heads always be complaining” but they never think about why. We notice a change in the music, a change for the worse because we’ve been around longer. The positive messages and raw creativity and innovation are long gone. Now it’s all about the commercial appeal. It’s sickening. Hip hop ain’t hip hop anymore.
