Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Breakdown
The flow will break you down
(Bet the flow will break you down)
The flow will break you down
(Bet the flow will break you down)
The flow will break you down
(Bet the flow will break you down)
The flow will break you down
(Bet the flow will break you down)
The flow will break you down
(Bet the flow will break you down)
[Verse 2]
I get so busy on the mic with my rhythmic flows
That's bound to leave you braindead when it gets exposed
'Cause the way I could display my style is wicked
So run up to your counters and go and get your tickets
I know you got dreams of roastin' me hop
But I got flavor like the candy in your grocery shop
The dramatical craftmatical soul fanatic, an attic
With a crazy flow that's automatic, throwing lightning bolts
From the sky like Zeus, an old-schooler who drops mathematics
Like a ruler or protractor, you don't have no knack to
Hang with me 'cause with the skill you see I'm no actor
The shit is real, home slice, so bring your own dice
So we can roll, win or lose, I'm taking all your gold
Punch you in your eye and come raid your town
With a sound full of spunk as we break you down 'cause it's
[Verse 3]
(Bet the flow will break you down)
The flow will break you down
(Bet the flow will break you down)
The flow will break you down
(Bet the flow will break you down)
The flow will break you down
(Bet the flow will break you down)
The flow will break you down
(Bet the flow will break you down)
[Verse 4]
Ah, ah, ah, achoo, what to do? Timbuk-one , Timbuk-two
I can't see a thing like Mr. Magoo
This sniffling (Ah, ah, ah), co-, co-, co-, co-, coughing, ah-choo
Stuffy naughty nappy Jack in the box
Dreadlocks rocks, so na, hiccup, na
Hiccup, what's up, Doc? Oops, shiver me Timberland boots
Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, shucks, yo, now I, hiccup, now I, hiccup
Got the hiccups and I rips up
Many tracks, jumping Jehosaphat, don't maketh a sound
I see wabbit tracks like thunder and lightning
My style frightening, can't you tell? I'm loco, ooh
They don't know me very well
So I lumps 'em, bruise 'em with black eyes
And stitches, dem mad 'cause we went from rags to riches
Now my scruples, I lose 'em, damage, I do some
I'm two-faced-ed, so call me the gruesome twosome
I got secrets Bo 'em don't know like Yoko 'em, oh
No, I'm changing visions blurry so call me, um , Quasimodo
Yo, I'll switch up, hiccup, switch up, hiccup, switch up, cough
With or without the hiccups 'cause
MCs quickly pick up then I freaks my FU-Schnicks style, wild
On the microphone, yo, peep it, and I freaks it, hiccup, freaks it, hiccup
When I speaks it with my drunken technique
I'll make you pips squeak but know it's back to the lagoon
Way up shits creek and don't sleep when it's time to creep
We roll mad deep and if the shit gets kinda thick
Here comes the 5-6 fleet to break you down
[Verse 5]
The flow will break you down
(Bet the flow will break you down)
The flow will break you down
(Bet the flow will break you down)
The flow will break you down
(Bet the flow will break you down)
The flow will break you down
(Bet the flow will break you down)
The flow will break you down
(Bet the flow will break you down)
[Verse 6]
The funk makes me tipsy, not the whiskey, yo
And this be the funkdafied horrah and tomorrah I feel tipsier
The blur in my eyes rectifies
That the funk freaked me, so peep me as I speak thee grammah
I rocks my bandanna, shaved my head clean
And on more screens than Vanna White
Owls I roll when I write
Then light the spliff, now it's time to recite a verse
A hearse you'll be leaving in, believe me when I say what I feel
And it's real, not like T.V. and science fiction, my addiction
Is the funk with more fumes than a skunk
Plus a pile of junk so check the sound
[Verse 7]
(Bet the flow will break you down)
The flow will break you down
(Bet the flow will break you down)
The flow will break you down
(Bet the flow will break you down)
The flow will break you down
(Bet the flow will break you down)
The flow will break you down
(Bet the flow will break you down)
[Verse 8]
(Bet the flow will break you down)
(Bet the flow will break you down)
(Bet the flow will break you down)
(Bet the flow will break you down)
(Bet the flow will break you down)
