Break My Soul - The Queens Remix

Lyrics

Ooh la la
Ooh la la

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la (ooh la la)

I, mother of my house
Vow to keep my f-ing mouth to myself
You make me smile, I vow to love thy hater
I believe in you, you can do it

Release ya anger, release ya mind
Release ya job, release the time
Release ya trade, release the stress
Release the love, forget the rest (you can do it)

Release, repressed, suppressed, regressed
Redirect all that anger (to me)
Give it to me (to me), give it to me (you can do it)

Everybody (yaka, yaka, yaka, yaka)
Everybody (yaka, yaka, yaka, yaka)
Everybody (yaka, yaka, yaka, yaka)
I'm bult for this
I can take it (everybody)
I can take it, you can do it

Now, I just fell in love
And I just quit my job
I'm gonna find new drive (move to the music)
Damn, they work me so damn hard
Work by nine, then off past five
And they work my nerves
That's why I cannot sleep at night (you know you can do it)

I'm lookin' for motivation (you motivate me)
I'm lookin' for a new foundation, yeah (thank you)
And I'm on that new vibration (just keep speaking my name)
I'm buildin' my own foundation, yeah
Hold up, oh, baby, baby

You won't break my soul
You won't break my soul
You won't break my soul (go with the flow)
You won't break my soul (you know you can do it)
I'm tellin' everybody, na, na
Everybody, everybody, everybody
I'm built for this

I'm 'bout to explode, take off this load
Bend it, bust it open, won't ya make it go
I'm 'bout to explode, take off this load
Bend it, bust it open, won't ya make it go

Bend it, bust it open, bend it, bust it open
Bend it, bend it, bend it bust it open, bend it, bust it open
Bend it, bend it, bend it yaka, yaka, yaka, yaka
Yaka, yaka, yaka, yaka, yaka, yaka, yaka, yaka

I'ma let down my hair 'cause I lost my mind
Bey is back and I'm sleepin' real good at night
The queens in the front and the Doms in the back
Ain't takin' no flicks but the whole clique snapped
There's a whole lot of people in the house
Tryna smoke with the yak in your mouth
And we back outside
You said you outside, but you ain't that outside
Worldwide hoodie with the mask outside
In case you forgot how we act outside

Strike a pose
Love thy hater (vogue)

Queen mother Madonna, Aaliyah (strike a post, vogue, you know you can do it)

Don't just stand there, get into it (let your body go with the flow)
Strike a pose, there's nothing to it (you know you can do it)

Vogue, we go 'round in circles
Vogue, we go up and down
Vogue, up and down searchin' for love (love, love, love, love)

You won't break my soul
You won't break my soul (move to the music) and I'm tellin' everybody (vogue)
