Lyrics
BREAK THE BOUNDARIES. MY PHILOSOPHY THERE I WAS TALKING TO SOME FRIENDS JUST THE OTHER DAY THEY SAID I BETTER GIVE IT UP & FIND SOME OTHER WAY BUT WHAT ABOUT THE BEAUTY IN THE EXPERIENCE MY DUTY IS TAKING IT GIVING IT TAKING IT GIVING IT UP ALL THE WAY TO ITS FRUITION NO MIND POLLUTION OR CONFUSION, DISILLUSION, WHO CONTROLS THE DISTRIBUTION? IS IT A THING OF THE PAST? THINK OF THE FUTURE IS IT A BLAST? SHOULDN'T YOU WONDER? THAT'S THE TRUTH NOT A BLUNDER, HEAR THE THUNDER? BREAK THE BOUNDARIES, MY PHILOSOPHY (4X) "BREAK" YOU CAN SPEND YOUR WHOLE LIFE BEING LIKE "THE GOOD GUYS" DOING LIKE YOU SHOULD GUYS (AND YOU KNOW JUST WHAT I MEAN) YOU PUSHIN' & YOU SHOVIN' AND YOU NEVER GET NO LOVIN' DON'T STOP MOVIN' WHAT YOU NEED IS A LITTLE LIBERATION FROM THOSE UPRIGHT UPTIGHT FOOLS IN THEIR SCHOOLS YOU GOT TO BREAK OUT SHAKE OUT TAKE THE WOMAN AND YOU MAKE OUT DON'T STOP LIVING KNOW YOU GOTTA BREAK THE BOUNDARIES. MY PHILOSOPHY
