You Gotta Be
Embrace Life's Challenges with Strength: You Gotta Be by Cassandra Beck
Lyrics
Listen as your day unfolds
Encouragement to pay attention as events in your day unfold.
Challenge what the future holds
Encouragement to confront and face whatever the future may bring.
Try and keep your head up to the sky
Advice to maintain a positive outlook, looking upward.
Lovers, they may 'cause you tears
Love can bring sadness or pain.
Go ahead release your fears
Urging to confront and let go of fears.
Stand up and be counted
Stand up and make yourself known or recognized.
Don't be ashamed to cry
It's okay to express emotions, including crying.
You gotta be
Repeated assertion of what is necessary.
You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold
To succeed, you need to be daring and unafraid.
You gotta be wiser, you gotta be hard
Emphasizing the importance of being more intelligent and savvy.
You gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger
To overcome challenges, one must be resilient and tough.
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm
Advocating for a composed and collected demeanor.
You gotta stay together
Advice to stick together and stay united.
All I know, all I know, love will save the day
Belief that love has the power to resolve problems.
Herald what your mother said
Encouragement to heed maternal advice.
Readin' the books your father read
Encouragement to explore knowledge similar to paternal figures.
Try to solve the puzzles in your own sweet time
Advice to solve problems at one's own pace.
Some may have more cash than you
Some individuals might possess more wealth or resources.
Others take a different view
People have different perspectives and approaches.
my oh my heh, hey...
Expression of surprise or emphasis.
You gotta be
Repeated assertion of what is necessary.
You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold
To succeed, you need to be daring and unafraid.
You gotta be wiser, you gotta be hard
Emphasizing the importance of being more intelligent and savvy.
You gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger
To overcome challenges, one must be resilient and tough.
Don't ask no questions, it goes on without you
Advising not to dwell on unanswered questions as life moves forward.
Leaving you behind if you can't stand the pace
If you can't keep up, life progresses without waiting for you.
The world keeps on spinning
Highlighting the continuous nature of the world.
You can't stop it, if you try to
Attempting to halt or control life's progression is futile.
This time it's danger staring you in the face
A sense of imminent threat or risk in the present circumstances.
oh oh oh
Expression of emotion or realization.
