"Elephant" lyrics

Let them come and say I'm weak
I have learned to listen up before I speak
Nah, nothing they can say can reach
I am the jungle, I am the beach
I am a wave crashing on the sea
My people are the ocean and they surround me
Yeah
Time may fly by, an eagle in the sky
But this moment here is so grounding
So let me hear ya say

Ayo (ayo), we never let 'em break us down
Ayo (ayo), let 'em feel us shake the ground
Ayo (ayo), we hit 'em with a thunderous sound
Let me hear ya scream it
Sing it like ya mean it
Strong like a elephant
Strong like a elephant

Let them come and tear me down
I got deep roots planted in this ground
Yeah
They can try to dig me out
I am the forest, I am a cloud
I am the thunder, I'm the champion sound
My music be a war cry upon the crowd
Now
Let 'em feel the rush, a lion in the brush
Then they never heard a roar so loud

Ayo (ayo), we never let 'em break us down
Ayo (ayo), let 'em hear us shake the ground
Ayo (ayo), we hit 'em with a thunderous sound
Let me hear ya scream it
Sing it like ya mean it
Strong like a elephant
Strong like a elephant
Strong like a elephant
Strong like a elephant

Strong like a elephant
Strong like a elephant

We got a lotta ting to say
They gotta not let freedom reign
But I got a mic, what, am I gonna lie
Gonna die before I let my people pay
They been a slave to them evil ways
Rats tryin to play on a steeplechase
Tied to the tie when they're tryin to fly
Wonder why humankind be a feeble race
What kind of world can we leave to the fates
I see them tears streamin down their face
When the kids lookin up and they hand us a cup
What the fuck can we give but a big disgrace
Government gotta change their ways
That's for certain but it's sad to say
Most of us here gotta do the same
And when we do it then we exclaim
"All my life they've been wrong
All this time I was strong
All my life they were wrong
All this time
Strong like a elephant
Strong like a elephant"

Ayo (ayo)
Ayo (ayo)
Ayo (ayo)
Ayo (ayo)
Strong like a elephant
Strong like a elephant
