George Clinton
Breakout
[Intro]
Gimme a dollar, I'll pay you tomorrow
I got something comin' my way
I'm dead broke, about to choke
Just wanna get out of today
When I get back up on my feet
Everything will be okay

Breakout, breakout, ooh...
Breakout, breakout, ooh...

[Verse 1]
Can't get caught, so I'm running
If I turn the corner, I got it made for sure
I'm out here hustling for pennies
Trying to get away
From the man who owns the store
I can't understand this weakness I got
It's got me runnin' and I can't seem to stop

[Chorus]
I gotta breakout from this prison
And get myself together and breakout
Lord, I'm in a prison
A prison, where the bars are my insecurity
[Verse 2]
Sometimes life won't give you a chance
To understand the steps to the dance
And when your partner happens to be bad luck
You're gonna need a helping hand... oh Lord, hey!
I can't be cool with the fever
Once the feeling hits you, it just won't let you be
But I still go through the motions
Everything is mellow with everyone I meet
But I'm out here hustling the best way I can
Taking what I can, and running from the man

[Chorus]
I got to breakout, y'all
Get myself together and breakout
Lord, I'm in a prison
A prison, where the bars are my insecurity

[Bridge]
Ain't no groove in 9 to 5
Don't have no time to show you
But I'm gonna tell you now
I'm in a funky mood now, oh, oh
Come on and rescue me
Rescue me from this feeling, please
[Verse 3]
Out here hustling for pennies
Trouble's always lurking a block or two away
And if you happen to shake it today
You can bet for sure tomorrow it'll come
'Cause I'm out here hustling the best way I can
Taking what I can, and running from the man

[Chorus]
I gotta breakout, y'all
And get myself together one more time
Whoa, I'm in a prison
A prison, where the bars are my insecurity

[Outro]
I can't understand this feeling I got
I wanna dance right on the spot
Oh yeah, so come on everybody
We gotta break-break-break-break-breakout
Won't you try it, honey
Come on, breakout
From the misery
Break-break-break-break-break-breakout...
Gotta breakout, gotta breakout
Gotta breakout, gotta breakout
Gotta break-break-break-break-break-breakout...
Gotta breakout, gotta breakout, yeah...
