Breakdown
Group 1 Crew Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They say don't try to fix what I-isn't broke
(what I-isn't broke)
But I see that you need a fix in your soul
(fix in your soul)
We-we don't like to play politics it's a joke
(it's a joke)
So we pu-pushin' envelopes, envelopes
(let us go)

Ain't nobody stoppin' the music until we fill up the floor
Oh, oh
It's the type-a music he created so you need to let go, go, go-go-go

See the flashin' lights (lights) wahahaho
Clock is losin' time (time) wahahaho
Gotta shake it off this feeling's takin' off
Cause everybody's waiting for the breakdown

You can you can make it make it happen
While we rappin' rappin see the flashin' lights
And camera cameras so let's have some action

Yeah
You can find me in a black S.C.
Goin' over 60 with the windows down
Anybody thinkin' ooh who's he wit
The dope dope beat tell me what's that sound
G1c witta chopped up beat goin' mad crazy
You can see it see it
We so so sick witta boom boom
Hit gotta do do it cause we need it need it

Ain't nobody stoppin' the music until we fill up the floor
(bum, bum, bum to the bass go, bum, bum, bum keep feel 'em)
It's the type-a music he created so you need to let go, go
Oh, oh, oh
To the crowd say
Oh, oh, oh

See the flashin' lights (lights) wahahaho
Clock is losin' time (time) wahahaho
Gotta shake it off this feeling's takin' off
Cause everybody's waiting for the breakdown

See the flashin' lights (lights) wahahaho
Clock is losin' time (time) wahahaho
Gotta shake it off this feeling's takin' off
Cause everybody's waiting for the breakdown

It's impossible to put a stop on this trio
And if you haven't heard make sure that you let someone know
Get the sunblock cause we hot
A unique breed is unlocked
We on the block cause we rock
Hard like the school of knocks

This ain't ya typical, typical, group that you heard it's a miracle,
Little bit a funk wit a whole lotta soul that'll bump da bump on ya radio,
Simmer simmer down all you ha-ter-ters
Didn't lose our sound we just got better,
Beat so cold did my verse like br,
Still spent life so forget what you heard

See the flashin' lights (lights) wahahaho
Clock is losin' time (time) wahahaho
Gotta shake it off this feeling's takin' off
Cause everybody's waiting for the breakdown

See the flashin' lights (lights) wahahaho
Clock is losin' time (time) wahahaho
Gotta shake it off this feeling's takin' off
Cause everybody's waiting for the breakdown

The flashin' lights are bright
The clock is losin' time
Waitin' for the breakdown
You don't got to be afraid




Let the music take it away
Cause everybody's waiting for the breakdown

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song Breakdown by Group 1 Crew talk about a desire for change and progression, rather than sticking with what already exists. They acknowledge that while some people believe in not fixing what isn't broken, they see the need for change and growth in their souls. They also recognize that they do not want to involve themselves in political games; instead, they push envelopes, seeking to break barriers and enter new territories. The song speaks of the power of music to bring people together, fill up the dance floor, and create a sense of unity. The music acts as an escape from the pressures of the world, and the breakdown in the music is something that everybody is waiting for, a moment of release.
