"You held me down, but I got up
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
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"
#KatyPerry, Roar, 2013
Finale number in s01e03 of Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist, which I recently discovered and greatly enjoy.

These are great lyrics. Upbeat, positive, staunch even. A worthy aspirational anthem for cage rattlers and would-be revolutionaries. Maybe I've been underestimating pop music, based on the cringey fluff I remember it being in my teens and early 20s.
This song reminds me of soulful Jill Scott tracks like So Blessed. More of this please!

songs of empowerment to recover from oppression echo from the personal to the social. Yes, good bop too ☺️
