Lyrics B-Boy Blues - Andy Cooper

B-Boy Blues

Are we recording?
Ready when you are
Aight
One, two, three
When I was young
I had a plan
I would grow old to be a dancing man
My knees would bend
And my feet would spread
I my shoulder blade and on my head
Ooh!
Check it out
I know an old friend Timothy Young
But he goes by the nickname TS1
'Cause he been a breakdancer from age twelve
Battle anybody, I don’t care who you tell
Take it to the max, 360 degrees
Speedy on the downright, icy freeze
But now that era of life has ended
And rolling on the ground ain’t recommended
His wrists hurt, his hips contused
His knees are all swolen and his ribs are bruised
He went and hit his head, he’s a big
The the man’s coming down with the b-boy blues
Ooh, baby
He got the b-boy blues
Baby
That’s the b-boy blues
Ooh, baby
You know he got the b-boy blues
Ooh, baby
Break it down one time for me
«I'm feeling sad and blue»
Sipping on a shake in a Chick-fil-A
One minute just slipped away
And he can’t understand how the kids today
Could get with any songs on a hip parade
In days of old, he was brave and bold
and listening to Paid in Full
But now he has a hard time finding his place
His DJs use computers and they don’t play breaks
He’s in his 40s with a couple of kids
And he always tryna school 'em on what hip hop is
But when he went to show his son how to move on the floor
He said «Daddy, people don’t breakdance no more»
He got a copy of Star Wars 2
With the photo he took with Rock Steady Crew
tryna walk in another man’s shoes
What can I say?
He got the b-boy blues
Ooh, baby
He got the b-boy blues
Baby
Doggone b-boy blues
Ooh, baby
He got the b-boy blues
Ooh, baby
DJ, get down and dirty with it
«I have the blues»
Back to the top with it
«I'm feeling sad and blue»
Come on
«I'm feeling sad and blue»
That’s right
Go and sing it for me
Looking through his closet for that bright red Puma suit
He can’t seem to dress up, all these doggone b-boy blues
Turning out the lights on his electric boogaloo
He needs to find a remedy for b-boy blues
Now that’s a record
