Dave B. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Something I need a break from insomnia I need a break for my health
Need a break from my drama I need a break for myself, say Ohh, ohh,
Ayy Ohh, ohh, ayy I need a break from insomnia I need a break for my
Health Took a break from my drama I need a break for myself, ayy Ohh,
Ohh Ohh, ahh, ayy, say Clean skies Wish I could be the horizon and
Touch the sun every day Lately my heart is so icy I′m fallin' back in
It, I′m callin' for riches I'm fallin′ for bitches,
Ooh) Said I′m blessed but I don't know who to thank (
No sir) Just be talkin′ but the words come out blank (
They do) Piggy bank never saved, better days never came,
Never could quite get sold Niggas don't
Meditate, every day waitin′ for you to call me over (
Ayy) I got a bone to pick I think I got time today Niggas'll hate on
Your hustle and I'm jet lagged Pimpin′ I′m miles away,
Ayy Calm my nerves upon my heart like I stay present and patient
Touchin' countries off pencil,
Mentally still in that basement I never sleep when the day end that
Tour bunk like a coffin I swear hard work
Never pay off That shit be costin′ and costin'
I need a break from insomnia I need a break for my health Took a
Break from my drama I need a break for myself, say Ohh, ohh, nah Ohh,
Nah, ayy Double-cuffing the chinos,
Got some bread to exchange Behind Danny De
Vito on a flight to L.
A Shorty love me, she stupid (
Ohh, ohh) I′m a fool for the brain Shoot my shot then I reload (
Reload) Gotta work on my aim, say (
Brr) Product of the violent with the sticks, but we land the same (
Right) Probably gonna end up on some shit I didn't plan today (
Ah yeah yeah) Pick your poison, different flavors (
Mm) I don′t know what yesterday was (
Ohh) No tomorrow might just play us (
Ah yeah yeah) It's always sunny here today tho,
Ayy Compensate doing nothing before you speak (
Before you speak) On his fourth job been like four weeks (
Been like four weeks) Hate havin'
Money problems, it could fall apart (
It could fall apart) Get a job,
Yeah right, don′t know where to start, ayy (
Yeah, yeah)
I need a break from insomnia I need a break for my health (
I need) Took a break from my drama I need a break for myself (
Say) Ohh ohh (
Na-na-na-na) Ah yeah yeah yeah yeah (
Ba-ba-ba-da-da) Ayy,
Right I need a break from insomnia I need a break for my
The lyrics of "Break" by Dave B. explore the need for a break from the various stresses and complications of life. The opening lines suggest that something is wrong and that the singer needs to distance themselves from their problems, specifically mentioning insomnia, poor health, and drama. The chorus repeats this sentiment, expressing a desire to take a break for their own sake.
The second verse delves into some of the specific issues that are causing the singer distress. They mention feeling cold and distant emotionally ("my heart is so icy"), and trying to seek fulfillment through material things and romantic relationships ("I'm callin' for riches / I'm fallin' for bitches"). Additionally, they express frustration with their financial situation, the lack of progress in their career, and the feeling of being stuck in a metaphorical basement.
