Lyrics
Break It Down
Spontaneous Combustion
Erroneous Destruction
From alla this corruption
Gonna be brought down to nothing
I resent your implication for my nation
That we must pay the price for your incessant vice
That path was yours to choose, now it's yours to lose
You had your time, now it's mine, I take it and I say
Do it again, Do it again, Do it
Do it again, Do it again, Do it
Do it again, Do it again, Do it
Break it down, take it again
My Revolution sounds like a whisper
But these days I'm getting tired of keeping my voice down
Looking back, in my past
We never got much when we didn't make a sound
So afraid you gonna rock the boat
You won't tell it like it is
But it's slipping, and it's sinking, find a dream that you believe in
Everybody gonna sink or swim
Do it again, Do it again, Do it
Do it again, Do it again, Do it
Do it again, Do it again, Do it
Break it down, take it again
Bridge
This ain't working, got to change
Find a space to rearrange
This story's old, so turn the page
And break it down again
I chant down Babylon, cause I got no other choice
My voice in prayers, in praise, in anger, rises to rejoice
I dance down deceit, paint down prison walls
Reason down the mighty, until the mighty falls
From the ashes will rise something new
Somethin true, something hiding inside of you
Get down to the real, to the raw, to the root
Reach down deep inside and find your truth
Take that truth in your hands
Hold it strong and take your stand
They can't hold us in cages of lies and confusion
Corruption, pollution, pride, ties, and illusion, ya'll
We chant down Babylon
Cause Babylon is gonna fall
Do it again, Do it again, Do it
Do it again, Do it again, Do it
Do it again, Do it again, Do it
Break it down, take it again
