B-boying or breaking, also called breakdancing, is a style of street dance that originated primarily among African American and Puerto Rican youth, many former members of the Black Spades, the Young Spades, and the Baby Spades, during the mid 1970s. The dance spread worldwide due to popularity in the media, especially in regions such as the United Kingdom, Canada, Japan, Germany, France, Russia, and South Korea. While diverse in the amount of variation available in the dance, b-boying consists of four kinds of movement: toprock, downrock, power moves, and freezes. B-boying is typically danced to hip-hop, funk music, and especially breakbeats, although modern trends allow for much wider varieties of music along certain ranges of tempo and beat patterns.
A practitioner of this dance is called a b-boy, b-girl, or breaker. Although the term "breakdance" is frequently used to refer to the dance in popular culture and in the mainstream entertainment industry, "b-boying" and "breaking" are the original terms. These terms are preferred by the majority of the pioneers and most notable practitioners.

Life with the Bboy: hope for the American
Justified Bboy: hope for the American
Come back the Bboy: hope for the American
I was born into the arms of his “ill”
My sentences light to the ire of Dullsville
Come back the Bboy: hope for the American
What up the Bboy: hope for the American
Petrified Bboy: hope for the American
We spy at night through blinds on family din
A tear in his eye at the dire of Dullsville
Walloped the Bboy: hope for the American
Convicted Bboy: hope for the American
What up, the Bboy: hope for the American
He sways me with his charm and I fold at his feet
A practiced lie in an honest way
If I was born into the arms of his “ill”
He’d grip me and gripe in an old-fashioned way
A big boy: hope for the American
Contempt the Bboy: hope for the American
