RA-SOOL f. NAOMI EMMANUEL -STRONGER Lyric Sheet 

First Verse:

Trayvon, Mike Brown rest in peace
Victims of being black and racist police
They say, lawful ways, well the innocence pays
Obama said it best, we need change
Every step forward, turning right back
A nation built by color, reparation crack
Dirty politician, tricky old ways
Obama care, but they wanted the same
Kept playing games, this party blames
Things messed up, but they don't want change
Future generations inherit our pain
Statue of Liberty- reads ashamed
America responsible for the drugs and the slaves
'Cause you cover the dirt, doesn't mean that it's clean
fast forward the future now racist ways
take a good look tell me who got paid?

Chorus:

Here the gunshots
see the road blocks
type of things that make you fall (hands up)
Motivation inspiration (stand up)
type of things that keep you tall
'Cause when your back against the wall (hands up)
You gotta reach and give your all (stand up)
It can't hurt ya, go harder, inside ya, that's power
It makes you stronger
Strong, ga ga ga ger (3x)
Strong--ger, stroooooong
Oooooooooohhh,yeah


Second Verse:

Jim Crow never cared, he treated us unfair
Laws we should of broke for judging our hair
If black is a crime, then I'm guilty as charged
America's healed, but we still got scars
Truth hurts-- but the pain sets us free
make laws fair-- acknowledge our history
What can be done-- starts with the key
How bout a new loft half of Manhattan Beach?
Forget being a player
I'll take a NBA team
something for my future, I can leave for my seeds
We need more than a dollar and dream
no matter how much money
Can't buy back our free-dom
I'm not playing we've been vic-tims
Plotted against to fill pri-sons
Chained souls in dire needs
We've beaten for hope
For trying to change things

Chorus:

Here the gunshots see the road blocks
type of things that make you fall (hands up)
Motivation inspiration (stand up)
type of things that keep you tall
'Cause when your back against the wall (hands up)
You gotta reach and give your all (stand up)
It can't hurt ya, go harder, inside ya, that's power
It makes you stronger
Strong, ga ga ga ger (3x)
Strong--ger, stroooooong
Oooooooooohhh,yeah

Voice Over:

I don't care what nation
what nationality
If you're Black, Asian,  Mexican, Latin, Caucasian, White, Jew
What ever you been through
Don't ever let no one oppress you
You can stand for what you are
And believe in who you are
We're all one nation under God

Bridge:

We must stand against these issues
That bring destruction and leave the nations confused
we might be tired
but we can't let go
lets get through this fire
it makes us stronger (4x)

Chorus:

Here the gunshots see the road blocks
type of things that make you fall (hands up)
Motivation inspiration (stand up)
type of things that keep you tall
'Cause when your back against the wall (hands up)
You gotta reach and give your all (stand up)
It can't hurt ya, go harder, inside ya, that's power
It makes you stronger
Strong, ga ga ga ger(I'm so strong)
Strong, ga ga ga ger (I'm stronger)
Strong, ga ga ga ger(I'm so strong)
Strong--ger, stroooooong
Oooooooooohhh,yeah

Get up y all
Let come together
Let work it out
It makes us strong

Outro:

I'm gonna be I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be I'm gonna be
Strong-ong-ong-ger
Strong--ger (3x)
