No matter what you think you pull you'll find it's not enough
No matter who you think you know you won't get through
It's a given L.A. law
Someone's faster on the draw
No matter where you hide I'm comin' after you
yeah
No matter how the race is run it always ends the same
Another room without a view awaits downtown
You can shake me for a while
Live it up in style
No matter what you do I'm gonna take you down
CHORUS:
Shakedown
Breakdown
Takedown
Everybody wants into the crowded line
Breakdown
Takedown
You're busted
Let down
Your guard
Honey, just about the time you're thinkin' it's alright
Breakdown
Takedown
You're busted
This is a town where everyone is reachin' for the top
This is a place where second best will never do
It's ok to want to shine
But once you step across that line
No matter where you hide I'm comin' after you
Repeat chorus
No matter who you think you know you won't get through
It's a given L.A. law
Someone's faster on the draw
No matter where you hide I'm comin' after you
yeah
Another room without a view awaits downtown
You can shake me for a while
Live it up in style
No matter what you do I'm gonna take you down
Shakedown
Breakdown
Takedown
Everybody wants into the crowded line
Breakdown
Takedown
You're busted
Let down
Your guard
Honey, just about the time you're thinkin' it's alright
Breakdown
Takedown
You're busted
This is a place where second best will never do
It's ok to want to shine
But once you step across that line
No matter where you hide I'm comin' after you

Good grief! No comments about this Number One single? This is a fantastic, fast-paced rocker from the movie Beverly Hills Cop 2. It's got a hard bright edge to it. Bob barks, Bob growls, Bob grunts, sirens wail, and baby, you're BUSTED!
By the way, I think the first line is "No matter what you think you've done" and in the chorus, I think the lyric is "Everybody wants into the crowded LIGHT."
I didn't like Beverly Hills Cop 2 as much as the other two, but the soundtrack was pretty good.
this is such a bamf song.
Great song from a great movie.
The song is about crime and the glamour that comes with it, Bob is singing from the point of view of a relentless cop who's basically saying that "You may be flying high, but I'll get you sooner or later"
Shakedown=The cop coming after the criminal Breakdown=The Criminal's glamorous lifestyle coming to an end Takedown=The cop makes his move, catching the criminal in the act
You're busted=Speaks for itself.
