breakOUT
Noisestorm feat. Foreign Beggars Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

E, Y, T, yeah
Okay, okay, uh
I′m not a breakout, yeah, yeah

Yeah, I'm not a breakout artist
I′m a straight up take-down artist
You're a shut up, sit down artist
Shots at the back door man a shakedown artist

After this, you need a make-up artist
I'm listening in, trying to figure where your heart is
I pick apart trying to figure where the art is
A couple minutes, you′ll be swimming in the darkness

A couple limmers from the gang, gang, gang
Yeah I′ll bang, bang, bang, man I look good though, pray now
A couple minutes with the gang, gang, gang
Spit slang so name, man are lookin' at a crackdown

Come on by with the big man vibe
Get a two-two stap from the bigger man pipedown
It′s Foreign Beggars in a Bruck outing, gonna shut down shop
Spill a little man background

Uh, I'm a straight up breakout
Worldwide shut down (I′m a breakout)
Big bruise, big jeans (I'm a breakout)
More chance, more whacks (with the breakout)

More food, man are looking like take-out
Now fools like rookies at a stakeout
Bareback with a lash, with the breakout
Gang, gang, gang, it′s a breakout

(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Yeah, yeah
Certain men live for the hype (hype)
Some ought'a kill for a name (name)
You seen a lot of men look for the lights (rah)
The things people do for the fame (fame)

The things people do to remain in view
When the game's askew this is strange
May repeat the whole scene from a distance
But your own fall frame by frame

Up and steady, up in levels
Training heavy with the rebels
While they′re dealing with the devil
I′m out dealing out the heckles
Like my skin was made out of metal
I'll be raising hell out here in the jungle
Pick up my brothers who stumbled
That picture ain′t nothing
I couldn't break down to rubble
That′s just how the cookie crumbles
Breakout

Uh, I'm a straight up breakout
Worldwide shut down (I′m a breakout)
Big bruise, big jeans (I'm a breakout)
More chance, more breaks (with the breakout)

More food, man are looking like take-out
Now fools like rookies at a stakeout
Bareback with a lash, breakout
Gang, gang, gang, it's a breakout





(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Noisestorm feat. Foreign Beggars' "Breakout" are full of contrasting imagery and bold claims. The opening lines set the tone for the rest of the song, with the repetition of "yeah, yeah" and "okay, okay" giving it a confident, almost confrontational feel. The chorus's theme revolves around being a "breakout" artist and the tough persona the singers take on. They lay claim to being "take-down artists" instead, emphasizing their no-nonsense approach to music.


The verses are even more aggressive, with lines like "you're a shut up, sit down artist" and "shots at the back door man a shakedown artist" implying a readiness for violence. The use of slang and slang-like verbal rhythms reinforce this impression, as does the repeated reference to "gang, gang, gang." The second verse brings in Foreign Beggars, who delivers an equally blunt and hard-hitting set of lines. He emphasizes the idea of being a "breakout" artist and the importance of maintaining a persona and an image in the music industry.
