Janelle Monáe – Stronger Lyrics
Most of my friends want a little peace
Some of my friends want a little solace
Even when we struggle and we get kicked down
We pick each other up with a little polish
All of my friends want a legacy
Don’t wanna be left out
Every time you think we get a little weak
We get a little bit stronger
[Chorus]
Ah, we the people, we the people
The people getting stronger
Ah, we the people, we the people
The people getting stronger
Ah, we the people
The people getting stronger
And every time you think we get a little weak
We get a little bit stronger
[Verse 2]
Some of my friends taught me how to dream
Some of my friends taught me how to fight
Even those times when we don’t agree
We know we all tryna slay the same giant
We don’t want the life without the liberty
Not gonna be left out
Every time you think you got the best of me
We get a little bit stronger
[Chorus]
Ah, we the people, we the people
We get a little stronger
Ah, we the people, we the people
The people getting stronger
Ah, we the people
The people getting stronger
Every time you think we get a little weak
We get a little bit stronger
[Verse 3]
Now they cast their votes ’cause the people wanna speak
And they check and they balance ’cause the people wanna eat
And they due process ’cause they seek equality
And we pay for the world so the people in the streets
And they love America, where the people wanna be
And they all know their rights from the sea to shining sea
From the states to the ghettos, yeah, the people gonna see
That the people hold the power and together we’re a little bit stronger
[Chorus]
Ah, we the people, we the people
The people getting stronger
Ah, we the people, we the people
The people getting stronger
Ah, we the people
The people getting stronger
Every time you think we get a little weak
We turn around and get a little bit stronger
Ah, we the people, we the people
The people getting stronger
Ah, we the people, we the people
The people getting stronger
Ah, we the people
The people getting stronger
Every time you think we get a little weak
[Outro]
We don’t want the life without the liberty
We don’t want the life without the liberty
Analysis
This is an assigned song by Ms. Boyer. It is awesome!
This song is super powerful. To me, it means that we the people are all of us, the farmers, moms, dads, business people, and students. And when we are together, we are stronger, we are more powerful. Together we can overcome big problems. This song relates to our government by talking about our rights, equality, and life. It also talks about people’s wants and pursuits.
I think that the chorus is saying that we struggle, we have problems, we have flaws, we have difficulties, dilemmas, and other obstacles in life. But when we have each other we get back up and get stronger. I have some vocabulary questions for solace and ghettos. So that is what I think of Stronger by Janelle Monáe. See you soon!
