Rhythm Nation / You Gotta Be

Rhythm, rhythm, rhythm nation

Rhythm, rhythm, rhythm nation

People of the world today are looking for better way of life

(We're a part of the rhythm nation

We're a part of the rhythm nation)

Looking for a better way of life

We're a part, we're a part, we're a part of the rhythm nation

Listen as your day unfolds

Challenge what the future holds

Trying keep you head up to the sky

Others, they may cause you tears, go ahead release your fears

Stand up and be counted, 'cause you won't unless you try

You gotta be, you gotta be bad, you gotta be bold, you gotta bе wiser

You gotta be hard, you gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger

You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm, gotta keep it together

All I know, all I know, love will save the day

All I know, all I know, love will save the day

(We're a part of the rhythm nation)

Time asks no questions, it goes on without you

Leaving you behind if you can't stand a pace

The world keeps on spinning, can't stop it if you try to

The best part is dangerous, staring you in the face

You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold, you gotta be wiser

You gotta be hard, you gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger

You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm, gotta keep it together

All I know, all I know, love will save the day

You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold, you gotta, gotta, gotta be wiser

You gotta be hard, you gotta be tough, you gotta gotta gotta be stronger

You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm, gotta, gotta keep it together

All I know, all I know, all I know

You gotta be cool, calm, strong

'Cause we are a part of the rhythm nation

I'm dreaming

I'm dreaming of a better way, a better way of life, of life

We are a part of the rhythm nation

All I know, all I know

All I know, all I know is love will save the day
