BREAK MY SOUL (ACAPELLA VERSION) Lyrics

[Intro]
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, la

[Chorus]
You won't break my soul
You won't break my soul
You won't break my soul
You won't break my soul
I'm tellin' everybody
Everybody
Everybody
Everybody

[Verse 1]
Now, I just fell in love
And I just quit my job
I'm gonna find new drive
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

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm lookin' for motivation
I'm lookin' for a new foundation, yeah
And I'm on that new vibration
I'm buildin' my own foundation, yeah
Hold up, oh, baby, baby
[Chorus]
You won't break my soul (Na, na)
You won't break my soul (No-no, na, na)
You won't break my soul (No-no, na, na)
You won't break my soul (Na, na)
I'm tellin' everybody (Na, na)
Everybody
Everybody
Everybody

[Verse 2]
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
Tryin' to smoke with the yak in your mouth
(Good at night) 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

[Pre-Chorus]
Got motivation (Motivation)
I done found me a new foundation, yeah (New foundation)
I'm takin' my new salvation (Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, new salvation)
And I'ma build my own foundation, yeah (Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh, baby, baby
[Chorus]
You won't break my soul (You won't)
You won't break my soul (Break my soul)
You won't break my soul (You won't)
You won't break my soul (Break my soul)
And I'm tellin' everybody (Everybody)
Everybody (Everybody)
Everybody (Everybody)
Everybody, yeah

[Bridge]
If you don't seek it, you won't see it
That, we all know (Can't break my soul)
If you don't think it, you won't be it
That love ain't yours (Can't break my soul)
Tryin' to fake it, never makes it
That, we all know (Can't break my soul)
You can have the stress and not take less
I'll justify love
We go 'round in circles, 'round in circles
Searchin' for love ('Round in circles)
We go up and down, lost and found ('Round in circles)
Searchin' for love (Yeah)
Looking for something that lives inside me
Looking for something that lives inside me
[Chorus]
You won't break my soul
You won't break my soul
You won't break my soul
You won't break my soul
I'm tellin' everybody
Tellin' everybody
Everybody
Everybody
You won't break my soul
You won't break my soul, no, no
You won't break my soul
You won't break my soul
And I'm tellin' everybody (Got motivation)
Everybody (I done found me a new foundation, yeah)
Everybody
Everybody

[Post-Chorus]
I'm takin' my new salvation (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
And I'ma build my own foundation, yeah (Yeah, yeah)
Got motivation
I done found me a new foundation, yeah
I'm takin' my new salvation
And I'ma build my own foundation, yeah

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
