I Need A Break... But I'd Rather Have A Breakthrough

Daddy taught me how to fight 
  Working hard all his life 
  I started out as a teen 
  And I remember these things 

  Calloused hands, seven days (?) 
  You gotta fight to get your pay 
  And what I need, I know (?) 
  But I'm about to lose control 

  I need a break, but I'd rather have a breakthrough 
  I'm losing my sleep running after you 
  But still, I'd rather have a breakthrough 
  So I don't stop making moves 
  I need a break, but I'd rather have a breakthrough 
  I'm tripping on hurdles running after you 
  But I can see it right at my fingertips (?) 
  (Something after that, but I can't quite get it.) 

  Mama said it's all right 
  If you're crying if you lose a fight 
  Daddy said dry it up. 
  I'm proud of you not giving up. 
  I've been battling so many years, 
  and I stood up to many fears. 
  So keep the faith, this I know, 
  but I'm about to lose control. 

  I need a break, but I'd rather have a breakthrough 
  I'm losing my sleep running after you 
  But still, I'd rather have a breakthrough 
  So I don't stop making moves 
  I need a break, but I'd rather have a breakthrough 
  I'm tripping on hurdles running after you 
  But I can see it right at my fingertips (?) 
  (Something after that, but I can't quite get it.) 

  I don't know anymore. 
  What am I waiting for? 
  I know, I know I'm giving it all I have. 
  I want, I want to give up so bad. 
  How come I keep on running? 
  But I feel it coming, 
  I feel it coming on. 

  I need a break, but I'd rather have a breakthrough 
  I'm losing my sleep running after you 
  But still, I'd rather have a breakthrough 
  So I don't stop making moves 
  I need a break, but I'd rather have a breakthrough 
  I'm tripping on hurdles running after you 
  But I can see it right at my fingertips (?) 
  (Something after that, but I can't quite get it.) 

  I need to catch a break. 
  Yeah, I hope I catch a break.
