B-Boy Blues - Andy Cooper

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
