Lyrics + translation · letras.mus.br

🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • 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

Echo the hook

  • 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)
roarhearyou're
