Lyrics

Strong Goes Through

[Intro - spoken / feedback]
I'm a representative
of the king initiative.

This is my imperative:
take up your inheritance.

[Gang vocal]
Take it up!

[Verse 1 - fast / shouted]
We could be kings,
don't need crowns and rings,
just a soul that sings
and a mind that clings

to the higher aim,
to the inner flame,
to the part of you
that won't stay tame.

We are not boring.
Don't be bored.
Listen up.
Get stirred up.

We bring from the heart.
This is not a brain fart.
This is not a false start.
This is where the old ways part.

[Chorus - gang vocals]
King initiative!
Not derivative!
Clear objective!
Live deliberate!

King initiative!
Not derivative!
Take your life back!
Live deliberate!

[Verse 2 - punk-rap rhythm]
Whether you're at home
or out fishing,
jumpy, antsy,
always wishing

for something to snag,
collect it or bag it,
make it yours,
then get dragged by it.

Quit your chores?
No - listen.
There's a tune
inside the friction.

A wise man carves
his own fortune.
Create your own destiny,
get tested, get forged in it.

Become the best
you can be.
Don't just stare
at what you could see.

Make something happen,
be a king of more
than your garden,
your backyard,
your locked front door.

[Chorus - bigger]
King initiative!
Not derivative!
Clear objective!
Live deliberate!

King initiative!
Not derivative!
Take your life back!
Live deliberate!

[Break - stop-start]
Don't harden.
Get stronger.

Don't harden.
Get stronger.

Hard breaks.
Strong survives.

[Breakdown - half-time / heavy]
Hard breaks
where strong survives.

Hard breaks
where strong survives.

A hard man cracks
when the pressure arrives.

A strong man bends
and stays alive.

Hard on the outside,
soft in the middle.
That's not strength,
that's just brittle.

Strong goes right through.
Strong stays true.
Takes defeat when defeated
and starts brand new.

[Gang vocal]
Start brand new!

[Verse 3 - urgent / shouted]
Select.
Elect.
Respect.
Recollect.

Check the line of sight.
Bring the dim to light.

Two tones to speak,
two minds to teach,
start a riot in the speech.

Not to destroy,
but to wake the noise,
not to posture,
but to make the choice.

[Final Chorus - full band]
King initiative!
Not derivative!
Clear objective!
Live deliberate!

King initiative!
Not derivative!
Take your life back!
Live deliberate!

[Final Breakdown - slower]
Hard breaks.
Strong survives.

Hard breaks.
Strong survives.

Strong goes right through.
Strong stays true.

Take defeat.
Start brand new.

[Outro - chant]
I'm a representative
of the king initiative.

This is my imperative:
live deliberate.

Live deliberate.
Live deliberate.

Strong goes through.
