Breakaway

MUSIC: Breakaway by Big Pig.

R’s first true group choreography. it took damn long enough, didn’t it?

This song is in the Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventures soundtrack, and it appears during the opening titles. I’ve always felt there’s an Ancient Egyptian feel to the song with the chants.

TRIVIA: Big Pig is known for a hard, driving beat without the use of guitars. Which is amusing, since both Bill and Ted are shown as jamming out with guitars.

All my life I wanted to fly
Like the birds that you see way up in the sky
Making circles in the morning sun
Flying high in the sky ’till the day is done
(I can’t break away)
Like a child in his fantacy
Punching holes in the walls of reality
All my life I wanted to fly
But I don’t have the wings and I wonder why
(I can’t breakaway)
Woha, well moma told me,
When I was young,
Stand tall girl
Your numer one
(she said)
But you can’t be what you wanna be
But you can shake the course of your destiny
I can’t break away
Ah-min-ah, do-ki-do, ah-mah-neh-la.
Well no, no ,no ,no, no
I can’t break away
Ah-min-ah, do-ki-do, ah-mah-neh-la.
Oh yeah,

I share you, who?
One is one
(one)
And two is two
(two)
You want me
And I hang you
Black is Black (black is black)
And white is white (whit is white)
So come out in the middle
‘Till midnight
I can’t break away
Ah-min-ah, do-ki-do, ah-mah-neh-la.
Well no, no ,no ,no, no
I can’t break away
Ah-min-ah, do-ki-do, ah-mah-neh-la.

Well moma told me,

Stand tall girl (stand tall girl)

AUDIENCE APPRECIATION PARTIES:

[Verse 1]
You’re broken down and tired
Of living life on a merry-go-round
And you can’t find the fighter
But I see it in you, so we gon’ walk it out
And move mountains
We gon’ walk it out
And move mountains

[Chorus]
And I’ll rise up, I’ll rise like the day
I’ll rise up, I’ll rise unafraid
I’ll rise up
And I’ll do it a thousand times again
And I’ll rise up, high like the waves
I’ll rise up in spite of the ache
I’ll rise up
And I’ll do it a thousand times again

[Post-Chorus]
For you
For you
For you
For you

[Verse 2]
When the silence isn’t quiet
And it feels like it’s getting hard to breathe
And I know you feel like dying
But I promise we’ll take the world to its feet
And move mountains
Bring it to its feet
And move mountains
[Chorus]
And I’ll rise up, I’ll rise like the day
I’ll rise up, I’ll rise unafraid
I’ll rise up
And I’ll do it a thousand times again

[Post-Chorus]
For you
For you
For you
For you

[Bridge]
All we need, all we need is hope
And for that, we have each other
And for that, we have each other, and (We will rise)
We will rise, we will rise (We will rise)
We’ll rise, oh-oh-ooh-oh (We will rise)
We’ll rise

[Chorus]
I’ll rise up, rise like the day
I’ll rise up in spite of the ache
I will rise a thousands times again
And we’ll rise up, high like the waves
We’ll rise up in spite of the ache
We’ll rise up (Rise up)
And we’ll do it a thousands times again
[Post-Chorus]
For you
For you
For you

See the money wanna stay, for your meal
Get another piece of pie, for your wife
Everybody wanna know, how it feel
Everybody wanna see, what it’s like
Baby wanna be a queen, well alright
We all deserve the finer things, in this life
So working on a little job, in the night
It’s forty dollars an hour when I, see the light
The boss say you got a little time, and oh my
He’ll be working in a small box, till he die
Me, I gotta be free, all my life
I want a little cream cheese, in my pie
Alright…
Yeah! I’ll step back, while you go dance
The greenback boogie
Mother fing boogie
Now I’m putting on a big wig, walking hard
Hanging with them big pigs, all them dogs
Got me a couple ideas, straight from God
I want a bean pie
Order me a bean pie
I’ll even eat a bean pie, I don’t mind
Me and Missy is so very busy busy making money
Alright…
All step back, I’m ’bout to dance
The greenback boogie

Boogie now for me
Hey!
Say, it’s far better, when you give it away
It’s called the greenback boogie
What people don’t say, I say
It’s better, when you give it away
It’s called the greenback boogie
Don’t give it away now, I say
It’s better, when you give it away
It’s called the greenback boogie
Don’t give it away now, I say
See the money wanna stay, for your meal
I’ll say it’s gonna put some love, in your life
Don’t you really wanna know, how it feel?
Everybody wanna see, what it’s like
Babe you wanna be inside, it ain’t lies
We all know there’s better things in this life
Yes I’ll step out, on your expense
Doin’ the greenback boogie
Mother fing boogie

Don’t Stop Believin’

Just a small town girl
Livin’ in a lonely world
She took the midnight train goin’ anywhere
Just a city boy
Born and raised in south Detroit
He took the midnight train goin’ anywhere
A singer in a smoky room
A smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on, and on, and on
Strangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlights, people
Living just to find emotion
Hiding somewhere in the night
Working hard to get my fill
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin’ anything to roll the dice
Just one more time
Some will win, some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on, and on, and on
Strangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlights, people
Living just to find emotion
Hiding somewhere in the night
Don’t stop believin’
Hold on to the feelin’
Streetlights, people
Don’t stop believin’
Hold on
Streetlights, people
Don’t stop believin’
Hold on to the feelin’
Streetlights, people

The First Time

The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave
To the dark and the empty skies

The first time ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move in my hands
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command my love

The first time ever I lay with you
I felt your heart so close to mine
And I knew our joy would fill the Earth
And last, and last, and last till the end of time
The first time ever I saw your face
Your face
Your face
Your face

Supremacy

Wake to see
Your true emancipation is a fantasy
Policies
Have risen up and overcome the brave
Greatness dies
Unsung and lost, invisible to history
Embedded spies
Brainwashing our children to be mean
You don’t have long
I am on to you
The time, it has come to destroy
Your supremacy
You don’t have long
I am on to you
The time, it has come to destroy
Your supremacy
Supremacy
Supremacy
