Lyrics
Listen as your day unfolds
Challenge what the future holds
Try and keep your head up to the sky
Lovers, they may 'cause you tears
Go ahead release your fears
Stand up and be counted
Don't be ashamed to cry
You gotta be
You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold
You gotta be wiser, you gotta be hard
You gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm
You gotta stay together
All I know, all I know, love will save the day
Herald what your mother said
Readin' the books your father read
Try to solve the puzzles in your own sweet time
Some may have more cash than you
Others take a different view
My oh my heh, hey...
You gotta be
You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold
You gotta be wiser, you gotta be hard
You gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger
Don't ask no questions, it goes on without you
Leaving you behind if you can't stand the pace
The world keeps on spinning
You can't stop it, if you try to
This time it's danger staring you in the face
Oh oh oh
Remember
Listen as your day unfolds
Challenge what the future holds
Try and keep your head up to the sky
Lovers, they may cause you tears
Go ahead release your fears
My oh my heh, hey, hey
You gotta be
You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold
You gotta be wiser, you gotta be hard
You gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger

move sky I genuinely feel so sorry on your behalf. That is very sad. I’m sure it probably has to be one of the hardest things you’ve ever had to handle. I hope you’re able to one day come to terms with that in your own way and find yourself in your new life without his being a part of it. So many hundreds of thousands of people are out there going through feeling similar to yours. Sometimes it helps me to remember that at the hardest times in my life, I’m not the only person who is feeling what I feel. You know? It can help to remember that you’re not alone. Sending you my best wishes and hopes for you and everyone who was left behind after his passing, from one human to another. 💕 This song unites us all.

I disowned my whole family and now stay I'm the USA and have a family of my own. Im now 30 and still looooove this song so much wish Des'ree knew how far her beautiful song brought me❤

[@thedarklordkarghen9269]

Cool, calm & collected I'm an existentialist I believe I exist both within myself and outside of myself, but my spirit and soul are one & I'm all for beautification and the empowerment of women regardless & irrespective of nature. Indiscrepantly we must slowly but surely bring an end to discrimination, don't ever hold hate in your heart or live in fear be fearless and unafraid of what tommorow might bring. I feel that this is not the ideal world & life is by no means perfect, but I think people could be kinder & at least try and care properly, but it's a very, very mad world. And I'm having an exostantual crisis black is white, and white is black, but I am grey a whiter shade of pale, but you've gotta be bad, you've gotta be bold, you've gotta be wiser, you gotta be hard, you gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger, sometimes I wonder if GOD is a woman which is silly but I bet he has a mum so if all else fails their is someone to hug him. Love this epic song from desree this is my going up town song, when I go to do my business in town this is the song that gets me in the big city up town vibe love this song, love female's, love my mum & GOD BLESS Y'ALL.

I could name thousands more on the R&B and Soft Rock Side, Micheal McDonald & The Doobie Brothers, Carly Simon, The Carpenters. Smdh. And these Artists wrote, produced ans sang and played instruments. Where are most of the 90's Artist now, most of them are retired.

I remember this song from my childhood. Not only does it bring me nostalgia, but the message it has gives me strength through this tough time of graduating, becoming an adult, finding out what i want to make of my life, all while fighting through my personal issues and this pandemic. Im not the only one. If you're struggling right now, you can do it! Believe in yourself!

It's OUR fault why this type of music isn't promoted. It can be brought back, WE just have to do it.

[@MaxHohenstaufen]

Not really. When it comes to pop culture, including music, trends are decided by a handful of people, like producers and executives (the latter were, previously, mainly from record labels, but nowadays from online library services like spotify or deezer). During the time of concentrated means of recording (prior to the internet, that is, the time of big record labels) the sheer volume of promotion on radios was the deciding factor of what became popular. Nowaday anyone can record and publish their work online, but to get acknowledged by the masses most rely on either popular playlists on spotify etc., or going viral through short videos that take a few viral worthy secs of songs. In the end, safe for a few exceptions, what gets promoted is decided by small groups of people, it has always been. Individuals can have different preferences and demand different things, but there isn't any cohesion in society to form a significant movement that can actually cause any influence in what gets promoted.
