Break Through

I was chained, whipped and starved out

I've been taught what I don't understand

A thousand years and more

Living in a haunted world

A man must get down to the roots

Must have a breakthrough

Lord, Lord

Lord, Lord

Lord, Lord, Lord

Breakthrough, 'cause you ain't teasing it hard

Breakthrough, 'cause you only satisfied case

Breakthrough, only got the plan and really got time

Breakthrough, someone leaning on you

Lord, Lord, Lord

My grandpa taught me long and hard lecture

My mommy didn't lecture him for waste

A thousand years and more of dirty vice

Man must get down to the roots

Must have a breakthrough

Lord, Lord, Lord

Breakthrough, get down and breakthrough

Lord, Lord, Lord

Breakthrough, 'cause you ain't teasing it hard

You left yourself, 'cause you only satisfied case

Breakthrough, when you have the plan and it got slack

Breakthrough, you really need right, someone leaning on you

Lord, Lord, Lord

My teacher was in school

And what he say is in the past

Never taught himself the man of pride

And funky style and an old fashioned

Sing for such a simple

Breakthrough, breakthrough, Lord
