[Chorus: Kanye West]

‘Fore life start for me

Thoughts and thoughts to me

Warmin’ up to me
Finding free

And I run out to …

Glory, glory, glory, glory
It feels good to be homeAnd to all of you, I thank you so much for your support

[Intro]
I remember when I used to be innocent, ain’t shit changed
I’m a young black belligerent
Child of an immigrant, lifestyle frivolous
‘Round here we keep bad company ’cause them people pay dividends
What’s the point of bein’ …
[Intro: Isaiah Rashad]
Whaddup bae
And my bitch eat me up while I’m driving
And I swear it’s a show, not a riot

[Refrain: Yung Bleu]
You had me at hello
Can never make you happy, girl it must be the devil
[Chorus: Yung Bleu]
Beautiful lies
Don’t break my heart, tell me beautiful …
[Verse 1]
I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath
Scared to rock the boat and make a mess 31
So I sat quietly, agreed politely
I guess that I forgot I had a choice 32
I let you push me past the breaking point
I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything 33
[Pre-Chorus]
You held me down, but I got up (hey!)
Already brushing off the dust 34
You hear my voice, your hear that sound
Like thunder, gonna shake the ground 35
You held me down, but I got up
Get ready cause I had enough
I see it all, I see it now 36
[Chorus]
I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter
Dancing through the fire 37
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! 38
[Post-Chorus]
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh (x3)
You’re gonna hear me roar!
[Verse 2]
Now I’m floating like a butterfly
Stinging like a bee I earned my stripes
I went from zero, to my own hero 39
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
[Post-Chorus x2]
[Bridge]
Roar, roar, roar, roar, roar…!40
Katy is talking about how for most of her life she has had to be on guard lest she annoy someone or make a mess. This could also be a rebellion against her Christian upbringing and her time making Gospel music.
She refers to her agreement to follow societal rules, which in exchange, she lost a vital part of her freewill.
Katy was so used to following and pleasing everyone that it became to much for her and because of giving up her own freewill she had no ethical code of her own to guide her and she made mistakes that she wouldn’t otherwise have made.
Katy is talking of people who held her back, who she had to fight off and she is now recovering herself.
She tells her tormentors to hear the sound she will make as she refuses to bend to their every whim and wish, to repay all the years of silence.
She warns them that she is now a stronger person and is fed up with how she is treated.
Katy makes a reference to the ‘Eye of the tiger’ hit song by Survivor. The tiger has been associated with power and energy and the Chinese have used the eye of the tiger charm to ward of or exorcise evil spirits. She uses this symbolism to show that she is no longer the weak girl that she was and will fight for what is her right.
She now says that her voice will be heard loud and clear because she is at the top of the world in her life.
Katy talks of how gentle she can be at one moment and the next exact her revenge like a bee because she is now stronger. She has grown and has earned her position and believes in her own abilities.
She makes a roar to let her critics know that she means it.
