Street hustler comes up to me one day 
And I'm walkin' down the street, mindin' my own business 
Now he looks me up and he looks me down and says 
"Hey man, what be this" and "What be that" and "Why you gotta look like that?" 
Well I just looked at him, I kinda laughed, I said 
Hey man, I am cool, I am the Breeze 
Haven't you heard, there's a new revolution 
Gotta spread the word - too much confusion 

All hell's breakin' loose - hey hey have you read the news 
All hell's breakin' loose - overloadin' 'n' blowin' my fuse 
All hell's breakin' loose - day and night, baby, night and day 
All hell's breakin' loose - in the streets there's a brand new way, yeah 

You know we ain't always winners, but this is the life we choose 
And we won't change or rearrange, and we ain't never ever gonna lose 
It ain't always easy when the goin' gets rough 
When you're gettin' even, you gotta show your stuff - tell about it now 

Take a look around, only one solution 
Set the world on fire, fight the institution 
Gonna stand our ground, feel the new sensation 
Something's goin' down - rock the nation 

All hell's breakin' loose - hey hey, have you read the news 
All hell's breakin' loose - overloadin' 'n' blowin' my fuse 
All hell's breakin' loose - day and night, baby, night and day 
All hell's breakin' loose - ah, take it 

Haven't you heard, only one solution 
Gotta spread the word - you gotta tell it to the people right now 
Take a look around, feel the new sensation 
Set the world on fire - rock the nation 

All hell's breakin' loose, all hell's breakin' loose 
All hell's breakin' loose - baby baby baby baby whoo 

All hell's breakin' loose - hey, hey, have you read the news 
All hell's breakin' loose - overloadin' 'n blowin' my fuse 
All hell's breakin' loose - day and night, baby, night and day 
All hell's breakin' loose - in the streets you can hear them say
