Alphabet Rockers - Strength In Numbers

Yeah, let's go, AR Crew, where we going?
Higher, higher
Let's rise
Let's lift them up, yeah, y'all ready for this
Let's do it

We got the strength, it's in our community
We got power, that's unity
Standing up on your shoulders
Lifting our voices higher
We got the strength, it's in our community
We got power, that's unity
Standing up on your shoulders
Lifting our voices higher

I'm powerful when I'm with my community
People that accept my thoughts and ideas and see
The truth about who I am, they love all my melanin
I know that I'm confident
So watch out, I'm steppin' in
I'm with a community where I'm safe and I'm loved
I've also got my ancestors watching from above
With the power that I have from my past and from my present
I know I can do anything, y'all need to accept it

I feel powerful when people listen
Don't ignore me 'cause you won't know what you're missin'
And if you plug your ears, I'll write my truth down
Do whatever I can, so long as the truth's found
Learn the truth, sometimes that's not what they teach (I can't lie)
Right now they might not listen but you have to speak (okay)
And when they hear you, teach them what's real (that's real)
Speak your mind and tell them how you feel

I know I'm powerful when I see my beauty (ayy)
And from head to toe, self love through and through me
I love myself every day, can be myself every way
Don't need to prove anything, I'm confident at my age (true)
They say your not your past, you are in a way
Your ancestors within you, there's someone you should thank
The power when they prayed, part of us in many ways
They had so many goals, we'll get there one day (woo)

We got the strength, it's in our community
We got power, that's unity
Standing up on your shoulders
Lifting our voices higher
We got the strength, it's in our community
We got power, that's unity
Standing up on your shoulders
Lifting our voices higher

Something you should know is that this is how I feel
'Cause I support what's true and what's real (I'm with you)
Put a break on this cycle like it's a wheel
And we shouldn't punish (no), but we should heal (be real)

I feel powerful when I can leave the house without a fraction of doubt
That I'ma be safe
That when I run for the bases, I won't get tagged out
And my parents aren't scared I won't reach home base
Powerful when I can be me and be free without feeling shame
Feel powerful when I can keep my self tamed (and you can do it)
And in control power isn't something that can be stole
Or even give it something inside that's risen (let it rise)

I feel power when I have support
Doesn't matter if you're big, tall, small, or short (nope)
Strength in numbers when we're in a community
When people connect, that's how we find unity

We got the strength, it's in our community
We got power, that's unity
Standing up on your shoulders
Lifting our voices higher
We got the strength, it's in our community
We got power, that's unity
Standing up on your shoulders
Lifting our voices higher

Strength in numbers
When we're in a community
When people connect
That's how we find unity
Standing up on your shoulders
Lifting our voices higher
Strength in numbers
When we're in a community
When people connect
That's how we find unity
Standing up on your shoulders
Lifting our voices higher
