"That's the brakes, that's the brakes" Your boyfriend made you a carrier of HIV "That's the brakes, that's the brakes" Now what's gonna happen When the sun don't shine I'm buyin tickets aboard The caravan of love Hey fellas See, money don't make shots repel I break woes and compose Some rhymes to tell So when the party's live It shouldn't be beef Or playin' indian roles I guess you thought you was chief Seems all broke up And now you woke up surprised Situation's gettin sticky Dead in front of your eyes We play the wall Similar to tacks Until the dj plays The necessary track In fact as the jam plays on Out comes all your bread To pay for drinks For them girls you want to spread Don't be mislead When the brakes inside your head And have you reminiscing On them kids who got you fed Until reality reveals a miss Who wants to know If you can play her real close Out on the dance floor 'cause (These are the brakes) It be your listenin pleasure While you're doin your chores (These are the brakes) No matter where you from It's for you and yours (These are the brakes) Ringin it back to the brakes Like the 'yes yes y'all' (These are the brakes) So let it be your anthem When you're havin, a ball
