Lyrics

[Intro]
The higher you build your barriers
The taller I become
The farther you take my rights away
The faster I will run
[Verse 1]
You can deny me
You can decide to turn your face away
No matter 'cause there's
Something inside so strong
I know that I can make it
Though you're doing me wrong, so wrong
You thought that my pride was gone, oh no
Something inside so strong, oh
Something inside so strong
[Verse 2]
The more you refuse to hear my voice
The louder I will sing
You hide behind Walls of Jericho
Your lies will come tumbling down
[Verse 3]
Deny my place and time
You squander wealth that's mine
My light will shine
So bright, it will blind you
[Verse 4]
Because there's
Something inside so strong
I know that I can make it
Though you're doing me wrong, so wrong
You thought that my pride was gone, oh no
Something inside so strong, oh
Something inside so strong
[Verse 5]
Brothers and sisters
When they insist that we're just not good enough
Good enough
Well we know better
Just look them in the eye and say
We're gonna do it anyway
We're gonna do it anyway
We're gonna do it anyway
We're gonna do it anyway
[Verse 6]
Ngizophumelela
Ngizofinyelela
Ngizophikelela
Hele le le iyo
[Verse 7]
Ngizophumelela
Ngizofinyelela
Ngizophikelela
Ngeke bangiqede mamhlanje
[Verse 8]
Something inside so strong
I know that I can make it
Though you're doing me wrong, so wrong
You thought that my pride was gone, oh no
[Verse 9]
Something inside so strong
Something inside so strong
Something inside so strong
I know that I can make it
Though you're doing me wrong, so wrong
You thought that my pride was gone, oh no
[Outro]
Something inside so strong
Something inside so strong
Something inside so strong
