Break A Sweat
Mental Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That is the exact opposite of me
If I don't break a sweat, than I am not pleased
Every favor I do I expect returned to me.
110% everyday, anything less, nah no fucking way
I'm pushing hard, but it takes time
Always looking out for mine!
You think everything comes easy, and things should be free
That is the exact opposite of me
If I don't break a sweat, than I am not pleased
Every favor I do I expect returned to me.
The lyrics to Mental's song Break A Sweat convey a strong message about the value of hard work and the expectations that come with it. The first two lines suggest that there are people who think that everything in life should come easy and be free, but the vocalist believes the opposite is true. He believes that if things come too easily, there is no sense of satisfaction or accomplishment. He takes pride in his hard work and is only happy when he has done his best and pushed himself to his limit. The fourth line implies that he expects something in return for the hard work he puts in, whether it be recognition or compensation.
The second verse, "110% everyday, anything less, nah no fucking way" further demonstrates that he is not willing to settle for mediocrity. He gives his all every day and expects the same level of effort and dedication from those around him. He acknowledges that it takes time and effort to achieve success, but he is willing to put in the work to get there. The final line, "Always looking out for mine!" implies that he is not only focused on his own success, but also on the well-being of those closest to him.
Break A Sweat is an anthem for those who value hard work and see the benefits that come with it. It is a reminder that nothing in life comes for free and that success requires effort and dedication.
