Mav - Break Is The Legend lyrics

I'd like to talk about drums
Or rather about a particular drum beat
I'm sure you've heard it dozens of times before
This particular drum beat, or rather this break beat
As it is more accurately called
Or even more simply just "break"
Now this break, despite its popularity and use over the last decade or so
Dates back almost forty years
Well this particular break is called the "amen"
The amen break, here's what it sounds like

What is it about the amen break?
What's the fascination?

Heavy basslines and high-speed breakbeats
