Street hustler comes up to me one day
And I'm walkin' down the street minding my own business
And he looks me up and he looks me down
And he says, "Hey man, what be this?" and "What be that?"
I just looked at him and kinda laughed
And 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
Overloading and 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

Now 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 tough
When you're getting 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
Overloading and blowin' my fuse
All hell's breakin' lose
Day and night, baby, night and day
All hell's breakin' loose

Haven't you heard? Only one solution
Gotta spread the word, 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
All hell's breakin' loose

Baby, baby, baby, whoa

All hell's breakin' loose
Hey, hey have you read the news?
All Hell's breakin' loose
Overloading and 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
