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
