Breakin'... There's No Stopping Us
Ollie and Jerry Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Out in the street
You don't survive by being weak
This is our time
Walls were made for us to climb
Don't you try to lock us out
Cause were breaking down the doors
And ohhhh...we just came to fight
Yeah yeah

There's no stopping us
No one does it better
There's no stopping us
Red light doesn't matter
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah

Long overdue
No playing games or being used
Something to prove
It's more than just a dream come true
We have waited far too long
For this moment to arrive

[Chorus]
We have waited far too long
For this moment to arrive





[Chorus]
