Stronger Than a Man

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 trip 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
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 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
Oh

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