You really gotta try to pull yourself together
Don't worry sister 'cause the future's gon' get better
Don't let 'em tell you, you ain't got what it takes
They're just tryin' to put on your brakes
As the stakes keep getting higher and higher

I know that good advice is always hard to swallow
Pretend you found it like a message in a bottle
If you don't wanna live your life in someone else's shadow
By someone else's rules that you don't wanna follow

You gotta be stronger than a man
Brighter than the sun
Taller than a skyscraper, tougher than anyone
'Til the day comes you don't gotta be unquestionably

You gotta be stronger, stronger, stronger
Stronger than a man
Stronger, stronger, stronger, stronger than a man

Sometimes you climb so high
But no one sees your vision
They try to rip you down just 'cause your drum beats different
Don't let it rip you up and sabotage your mission
Just means they're scared of you 'cause you're the competition

You gotta be stronger than a man
Brighter than the sun
Taller than a skyscraper, tougher than anyone
'Til the day comes you don't gotta be unquestionably

You gotta be stronger than a man
Look at all you've done (stronger than a man)
You can stop an army without a loaded gun
A woman's place is anywhere a woman wants to stand

You gotta be stronger, stronger, stronger
Stronger than a man
Stronger, stronger, stronger, stronger than a man
Stronger, stronger, stronger

I guess you know by now I'm talkin' to a mirror
I found this message in a bottle by the river

You gotta be stronger than a man
Brighter than the sun
Taller than a skyscraper, tougher than anyone
'Til the day comes you don't gotta be unquestionably

You gotta be stronger than a man
Look at all you've done (stronger than a man)
You can stop an army (stronger, stronger, stronger)
Without a loaded gun (stronger than a man)
A woman's place is anywhere a woman wants to stand

You gotta be stronger, stronger, stronger
Stronger than a man
Stronger, stronger, stronger, stronger than a man
A woman's place is anywhere a woman wants to stand
You gotta be stronger than a man
