Roar Katy Perry
I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath Scared to rock the boat and make a mess So I sat quietly, agreed politely I guess that I forgot I had a choice I let you push me past the breaking point I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything You held me down, but I got up (hey!) Already brushing off the dust You hear my voice, you hear that sound Like thunder, gonna shake the ground You held me down, but I got up Get ready 'cause I had enough I see it all, I see it now
Got the eye of the tiger, the fire Dancing through the fire 'Cause I am a champion, and you're gonna hear me roar. Louder, louder than a lion 'Cause I am a champion, and you're gonna hear me roar! Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh You're gonna hear me roar!
Now I'm floating like a butterfly Stinging like a bee I earned my stripes I went from zero, to my own hero. You held me down, but I got up (hey!) Already brushing off the dust You hear my voice, your hear that sound Like thunder, gonna shake the ground You held me down, but I got up Get ready 'cause I've had enough I see it all, I see it now.
Got the eye of the tiger, the fire Dancing through the fire 'Cause I am a champion, and you're gonna hear me roar. Louder, louder than a lion 'Cause I am a champion, and you're gonna hear me roar! Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh You're gonna hear me roar!
"Your biggest bully becomes yourself. Sometimes you gottafind that inner strength and stand up for yourself. That's why I wrote it, to find my own voice." Katy Perry, discussing the inspiration behind “Roar.”
Mother to Son BY LANGSTON HUGHES Well, son, I'll tell you:Life for me ain't been no crystal stair.It's had tacks in it,And splinters,And boards torn up,And places with no carpet on the floor – Bare.But all the timeI'se been a-climbin' on, And reachin' landin's,And turnin' corners,And sometimes goin' in the dark Where there ain't been no light.So boy, don't you turn back.Don't you set down on the steps'Cause you finds it's kinder hard.Don't you fall now – For I'se still goin', honey,I'se still climbin',And life for me ain't been no crystal stair.
