Can't break it, can't shake it
and just can't take it
It's not about what, it's about how

Can't break it, can't shake it
and just can't take it
Not in your hands, but on your brow

Gotta take it, gotta break it
But just can't shake it
Not about the catch, about the throw

Gotta take it, gotta break it
But just can't shake it
It's not about where, but about to go

What's this about?
I'm lost in a crowd
Now was that a shout?
Now what's this about?

Gotta break it, can't shake it
Just gonna take it
It's lowdown, dirty - it's a shame

Can't break it, can't shake it
Just gonna take it
As you knew - the name's the game

Gonna make it, even fake it
And just gonna take it
It's the aspiration to succeed

Gonna make it, even fake it
And just gonna take it
When it's up to you, you gotta do the deed

What's this about?
What black cloud?
It's freaking me out
Now what's this about?

What's this about?
I'm lost in a crowd
Now was that a shout?
Now what's this about?

Now tell me, now tell me
What's this about?
What black cloud?
It's freaking me out
C'mon now tell me what's this about
