Lyrics[]
Tina:
I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath
Scared to rock the boat and make a mess
Unique:
So I sat quietly, agreed politely
I guess that I forgot I had a choice
Kitty:
I let you push me past the breaking point
I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything
Sam with New Directions:
You held me down, but I got up (New Directions: Hey)
Already brushing off the dust
Unique with Sam and New Directions:
You hear my voice, you hear that sound
Like thunder gonna shake your ground
Kitty with Tina and New Directions:
You held me down, but I got up (New Directions: Hey)
Get ready, 'cause I've had enough
I see it all, I see it now
Tina with New Directions:
I got the eye of the tiger, the fighter
Dancing through the fire
'Cause I am a champion
And you're gonna hear me roar!
Unique with Kitty and New Directions:
Louder, louder than a lion
'Cause I am a champion
Unique (with Kitty) and New Directions:
And you're gonna (hear me roar!)

Now I'm floating like a butterfly
Stinging like a bee, I earned my stripes
(I went from zero to my own hero)

Already brushing off the dust
You hear my voice, you hear that sound

You held me (and Elliott: Down), but I got up (Oh got up!)
Get ready (and Elliott: 'cause I've had enough)
