Break Yo Self 

What you say to someone before you jack them.
If anyone ever tells you to "break yo self" prepare for a severe ass whoopin'.

In some movie the thug says "break yo self foo" beats the shit out of the guy and robs him.

Break yo self fool! 

Referenced from the Chappelle Show when Wayne Brady was the guest. It is what you say before you want to whoop someones ass/take their money/commence some form of violence or robbery. Sometimes mistaken for 'brace yourself'...which is wrong.

(Whilst watching Chapelle Show)

Wayne Brady: There he is....BREAK YO SELF FOOL!
Man: AWW SHIT, IT'S WAYNE BRADY, SON!
*Wayne Brady shoots the guy down*

Rhyz: haha that's funny, BRACE YO SELF FOOL
Helena:.........you just killed it........just...no.....
