[Verse 1]
One week struggling on the real world is
So you can see
Feel your soul and shape your mind to warfare
It's all for real
Live your life, not the way they taught you
Do what you feel
Survive this jungle, give me blood, give me pain
These scars won't heal

[Verse 2]
What were you thinking?
What a wonderful world?
You're full of shit
Leave it behind, they don't care if you cry
All you left is pain

[Chorus]
Can you take it?
Can you take it?
Can you take it?
Can you take it?

[Bridge]
The only way to get away
Kill your pride
Attitude

[Chorus]
I won't take it
I won't take it
I won't take it
I won't take it

[Outro]
So in the end, I want to see some respect
I said, you better show some respect
I said, attitude and respect

Sepultura is a Brazilian heavy metal band from Belo Horizonte. Formed in 1984 by brothers Max and Igor Cavalera, the band was a major force in the death metal, thrash metal and groove metal genres during the late 1980s and early 1990s, with their later experiments drawing influence from alternative metal, world music, nu metal, hardcore punk and industrial metal.

The first Sepultura show was on December 4th, 1984. The band played two songs that never were re-recorded or released.

The band name comes from a Portuguese translation of Motörhead’s song “Dancing on Your Grave” which is “Dançando na sua Sepultura”. Sepultura means “grave” (sepulchre) in Portuguese (and in some other Latin-based languages). Originally, they wanted to call the band Tropa de Choque (Shock Troops), but found that the name had been used before.
