I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath

Scared to rock the boat and make a mess

So I sat quietly, agreed politely

I guess that I forgot I had a choice

I let you push me past the breaking point

I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything

You held me down, but I got up (hey)

Already brushing off the dust

You hear my voice, you hear that sound

Like thunder, gonna shake the ground

You held me down, but I got up (hey)

Get ready 'cause I've had enough

I see it all, I see it now

I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter

Dancing through the fire

'Cause I am a champion, and you're gonna hear me roar

Louder, louder than a lion

'Cause I am the champion, and you're gonna hear me roar

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

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

You held me down, but I got up (hey)

Already brushing off the dust

You hear my voice, you hear that sound

Like thunder, gonna shake the ground

You held me down, but I got up (got up)

Get ready 'cause I've had enough

I see it all, I see it now

I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter

Dancing through the fire

'Cause I am a champion, and you're gonna hear me roar

Louder, louder than a lion

'Cause I am a champion, and you're gonna hear me roar

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

You're gonna hear me roar

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (yeah)

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (you'll hear me roar)

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

You're gonna hear me roar

Roar, roar, roar, roar, roar

I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter

Dancing through the fire 'cause I am a champion

And you're gonna hear me roar, oh, louder, louder than a lion

'Cause I am a champion, and you're gonna hear me roar

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (yeah)

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

You're gonna hear me roar

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (you'll hear me roar)

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

You're gonna hear me roar
