Strong

I see y'all coming at me
I ain't gonna quit
I ain't giving up
I don't care what y'all say
I see y'all coming at me
I ain't gonna quit
I ain't giving up
I don't care what y'all say
I see y'all coming at me
I ain't gonna quit
I ain't giving up
I don't care what y'all say
I see y'all coming at me
I ain't gonna quit
I ain't giving up
I don't care what y'all say
It only make me stronger when you put me down
So go ahead and tell the town
You're doing me a favor when you push me 'round
'Cause every time you knock me down
I get stronger and stronger
Every time you knock me down
I get stronger and stronger
As a kid I was a star
I tried to raise the bar
But I never had encouragement
It really was bizarre
Everybody used to think me set me goals too far
All the girls dem ridiculed me when I walk with my guitar
Hey, I wasn't into cars
Nuh inna petty wars
I knew I was a winner who was destined for Mars
But it sucks 'cause I have all these emotional scars
Hey, everybody thought I would end up behind bars
Nah
A lot of y'all thought I wouldn't make it
A lot of y'all nuh real and just a fake it
But I don't care if you are whatever dude
I'm busy trying to get this food
You can't spoil the mood
It only make me stronger when you put me down
So go ahead and tell the town
You're doing me a favor when you push me 'round
'Cause every time you knock me down
I get stronger and stronger
Every time you knock me down
I get stronger and stronger
I don't care what nobody say or what nobody do
'Cause I am doing me, so why don't you just do you?
Life's tough, but you never see me looking all blue
'Cause things could be better, but it could be worse too
I don't care who yuh mama says the right man for you
You can tell her go to hell and yuh daddy can too
Oh, and please tell my boss he can come and kiss my ass
'Cause he promised me a raise, now another week pass, but
It only make me stronger when you put me down
So go ahead and tell the town
You're doing me a favor when you push me 'round
'Cause every time you knock me down
I get stronger and stronger
Every time you knock me down
I get stronger and stronger
Every time you knock me down
You can take away my money, you can take away my ride
You can take away my friends, you can take away my pride
But you can't take me talent and my values and my drive
And you can't bruk my spirit and my will to stay alive
You can take away my jewels
Take away my clothes
The diamonds and the rubies, you can take 'way all of those
But you can't take the thing me have weh keep me on my toes
This song is dedicated as a message to my foes
It only make me stronger when you put me down
So go ahead and tell the town
You're doing me a favor when you push me 'round
'Cause every time you knock me down
I get stronger and stronger
Every time you knock me down
I get stronger and stronger
Well, dem push me outta the gate and full up dem heart wid hate
Waan fi send me go a prison, but dem can't shape me fate
'Cause I know within myself that I was born to be great
But sometime the burden heavy and me can't take the weight
So
Nuff time me mess up and me nah move straight
But I'm breathing and I'm living, so it's never too late
Well, the past is just the past, but the future still awaits
So before dem write me off and try fi put me inna crate
Learn
It only make me stronger when you put me down
So go ahead and tell the town
You're doing me a favor when you push me 'round
'Cause every time you knock me down
It only make me stronger when you put me down
So go ahead and tell the town
You're doing me a favor when you push me 'round
'Cause every time you knock me down
I get stronger and stronger
Every time you knock me down
I get stronger and stronger
Every time you knock me down
