I Need a Break... But I'd Rather Have a Breakthrough Lyrics

Daddy taught me how to fight
Working hard all his life
I started out as a teen
And I remember these things
Calloused hands, seven days (?)
You gotta fight to get your pay
And what I need, I know (?)
But I'm about to lose control

I need a break, but I'd rather have a breakthrough
I'm losing my sleep running after you
But still, I'd rather have a breakthrough
So I don't stop making moves
I need a break, but I'd rather have a breakthrough
I'm tripping on hurdles running after you
But I can see it right at my fingertips (?)
(Something after that, but I can't quite get it.)

Mama said it's all right
If you're crying if you lose a fight
Daddy said dry it up.
I'm proud of you not giving up.
I've been battling so many years,
and I stood up to many fears.
So keep the faith, this I know,
but I'm about to lose control.
I need a break, but I'd rather have a breakthrough
I'm losing my sleep running after you
But still, I'd rather have a breakthrough
So I don't stop making moves
I need a break, but I'd rather have a breakthrough
I'm tripping on hurdles running after you
But I can see it right at my fingertips (?)
(Something after that, but I can't quite get it.)

I don't know anymore.
What am I waiting for?
I know, I know I'm giving it all I have.
I want, I want to give up so bad.
How come I keep on running?
But I feel it coming,
I feel it coming on.
I need a break, but I'd rather have a breakthrough
I'm losing my sleep running after you
But still, I'd rather have a breakthrough
So I don't stop making moves
I need a break, but I'd rather have a breakthrough
I'm tripping on hurdles running after you
But I can see it right at my fingertips (?)
(Something after that, but I can't quite get it.)

I need to catch a break.
Yeah, I hope I catch a break.
