The higher you build your barriers
The taller I become
The farther you take my rights away
The faster I will run
You can deny me
You can decide to turn
Your face away
No matter, 'cause there's
Something inside so strong
I know that I can make it
Though you're doing me wrong, so wrong
You thought that my pride was gone
Oh no, something inside so strong
Oh, oh-oh-oh, something inside so strong
♪
The more you refuse to hear my voice
The louder I will sing
You hide behind walls of Jericho
Your lies will come tumbling
Deny my place in time
You squander wealth that's mine
My light will shine so brightly
It will blind you, 'cause there is
Something inside so strong
I know that I can make it
Though you're doing me wrong, so wrong
You thought that my pride was gone
Oh no, something inside so strong
Oh, oh-oh-oh, something inside so strong
Brothers and sisters
When they insist we're just not good enough
When we know better
Just look them in the eyes and say
"We gonna do it anyway"
"We gonna do it anyway"
"We gonna do it anyway"
We gonna do it anyway, hey!
(Something inside) so strong
I know that I can make it
(But you do me wrong) so wrong
He-hey (you thought that my pride was gone)
Something inside so strong
Yeah (something inside so strong), ooh
I know that I can make it
(Though you're doing me wrong) so wrong (he-hey)
You thought that my pride was gone (oh, you thought my pride)
Ooh yes, something inside so strong
Oh, oh, something inside so strong
