This song is loosely based off the issue of bullying. Lots of bullies out there, lots of ways to deal with them. This song was inspired by my experiences with being bullied, and my personal take on how to handle it. Take it or leave it. :-P
Oh yeah... and SORRY took so long for me to upload this! I had to delay because ninjas and karate and its all better now, you’re welcome!
But yes, I’ve been slower uploading these tracks than I should because I’ve been working on some NEW projects… That I’m VERY excited about.. (Hint: It’s music.)
(Other hint: That’s what it is, it’s music. That’s not even a hint, it’s just music.. But it’s really good music with some awesome people! That’s why I’m excited!!)
The full album IS out though, and you can listen to all the songs for free on Bandcamp if you don’t want to buy it! ;-)

- - -- --- Lyrics -- -- -- - -
(Verse 1)
They can be cruel
Can be hurtful and tear you down
I'm gonna let you know
They say you're a fool
And that you'll never be anyone
You're unoriginal
And though the words tear you apart
Break your heart, start thinking 'bout the
Reason that you're running away
Don't give them the satisfaction
Of a typical reaction
Say what you need to say
(Pre Chorus)
Say what you need to say
You say, you keep on letting fear get in the way
The way is hard but soon enough you'll be ok
Ok, so take a breath and try another day
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
You say, you'll never let your fear get in the way
Ok, so take a breath and fight another day
Today, put who you really are out on display
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
(Chorus)
(Verse 2)
Say what you need to say
Even when it feels like you're
Confidence is crumbling down
Say what you need to say
Cause they can't tell you who you are
And they're not going to now
And so be proud of who you are
And let the scars start healing
And remember though it may be cliché
That their opinion doesn't matter
So forget about the laughter
Say what you need to say
(Pre Chorus)
above
(Interlude)
Be somebody else
Be somebody else
You don't have to try to be somebody else
Yeah, you just gotta stand up for yourself
Stand up for yourself
You don't have to try to be somebody else
Yeah, you're never gonna
Be somebody else
Be somebody else
You don't have to try to be somebody else
Yeah, you just gotta stand up for yourself
Stand up for yourself
You don't have to try to be somebody else
Say what you need to say.
(Chorus)
Oh, say what you need to say.

Children of earth and surrounding systems; friends, brothers, sisters and Dedicated Description Readers the universe over, welcome! I come bearing troubling news...
It appears Michelle Creber has been coping our little DDR club in HER KZbin descriptions, and calling her followers "S'mores!" I KNOW it's a clever name, but this kind of blatant plagiarism shall not stand! That's why I'm ordering a full assault! Will those loyal to the DDR cause, kindly drop by any of Michelle Creber's latest videos, and remind her that DDR's are the master race?! Your people thank you in advance! • Video
In lighter news, I FINALLY got my 100,000 Subscribers Plaque from youtube! Only a year later... I really can't complain about a free service though. I'm very thankful, and amazed that youtube still offers it! vine.co/v/5vKr...
Oh, I also got verified on twitter recently, so that's... surprising. But welcome! :-D I owe a shout out to my Manager for that. Thanks my manager! ;-) / blackgryph0n
Anyhoooo, I have a lot of projects in the works, so stay tuned! I hope you've been enjoying the creative liberty's I've been taking on my channel lately... (Metal Little Bunny Foo Foo for example) XD • Little Bunny Foo Foo: ...
Love you all and see ya soon!

[@l_zzie.]

Awww :)

[@nicolemusic02]

I love this song, thank you Gryph. This one of my favourite songs from you and have been waiting for this one to come out. I can relate to this as I have experienced bullying and lack of confidence from it. Many people did look down on me from my "different behaviour" because of my autism and no one really understood why I was acting so annoying/weird. It's true, you have to stand up for yourself and not let it start to affect you emotionally and physically. I feel like this song is saying that you shouldn't let what they say affect you and instead you should be strong and believe in what you believe in to stand up to these bullies. Thanks again Gryph0n, for this relatable song and I can't wait to see more of your content. Yours, ~A happy DDR and Fan

[@nicolemusic02]

And sure, I am a DDR, I will stand and fight for all the fellow DDRs all over the world.The S'mores will not win!

[@BlackGryph0n]

I know exactly how you feel! And yes, in my experience, the best way to deal with bullies is to rise above them. Nobody can tell you who you are, and the only opinions that truly matter are the opinions of those who know you, and care about you. So rather than letting the stupid things people say hurt you, the best thing to do is realize that THEY are the ones with the problem, and completely ignore them. They are not worth your time. :-)

[@nicolemusic02]

Black Gryph0n agreed. I used to have it but it's true, you have to rise up against them. And after that, it stopped. But there is still the odd time where people do look at me in a weird way and get my attention so they can be a bit mean. You are right, there's no point in getting upset when it is not your fault, even when I blame myself when stuff goes wrong. Thank you for your advice, I needed really needed to hear that. It has really helped bring my confidence up and I will be able to help myself when I am being bullied in the future

What are DDR's and S'mores. I know what a real smore is but... just... huh...?

[@greenxlady4585]

Zippy DaFish No idea about the S'mores, but DDRs are ''Dedicated description readers''. We are greeted at the end of every description here and sometimes even rewarded with a little video.

[@andrewriker4369]

Green x Lady thank you

[@ayaoryx.official]

I am being bullied for my entire school days well im still in high school and people are judging because of the way I act sometimes when im lonely I draw like ponies and stuff, I love draw and my dream is to be an animator so in my young age I want to practice so I can get better my classmates are judging me they think that im childish , then when I came to like anime I always liked the way anime girls wear their hair and for me I really want to try it I was so proud that I managed to achieve a perfect hair style but when I walked down the hall..I can hear teasing like "she look so stupid" and "what is she trying to look like Harley quinn she's not even pretty"...it really hurted me bit i didn't care because I know that this is want I want to do and they dont have the right's to change me so thank you so much for making this inspiring song.

No problem Dude I have to deal with 8th graders and probably sum kids that talk trash about me behind my back and what not I know what that's like. It sucks, But hey Just remember.....Bullies are just like sand paper they might scratch ya up, But in the end you come out shiny with an edge

[@ayaoryx.official]

yeah I think they make us successful because we get more determined to reach our dreams.

Why is it that every song you guys put out somehow correlates with what I'm going though? Gabe is a wizard confirmed.

[@ariannadravis3934]

Yo,gabe. Thanks for helping all these people say what they need to. I apprecaite it,as a up-and-coming mental health therapist. Your a compassionate man with a passion for putting your thoughts into words,and your not afraid of your past mistakes. Keep helping people with your songs mate,much support&loves your way.-Nathan.

I always love reading your descriptions, they shimmer with happiness and that aura that you've got, it's wonderful

[@BlackGryph0n]

Haha! Good work soldier! Now all we have to do is wait for retaliation... Prepare to get politely pelted with apples. Oh, and thanks. Means a lot! ^-^

[@roseo4498]

Oh Gabe... you credit Michelle even though she didn't song in this song.

[@blusjams4352]

she could've helped make the song. She doesn't have to necessarily sing in the song to be credited

[@eltriplej6944]

The song credits doesn't include Michelle.

[@meltroxgeolix5675]

+Junebugz It says right in the video "Michelle Creber & Gabriel Brown"

[@leo_brine25]

Michelle Creber & Gabriel Brown is about the album, not the music...

[@eltriplej6944]

Meltroxgeolix LunarGlare You read the part crediting the creators of the album, you should read the description as well to see the ACTUAL credits.

[@Drummershy]

This song represents me in a way of judgment over a TV show about my little pony. I feel like the song should be used as a motivation to say hey I can like what I like you like what you like. This is a very emotional song for like anti bullying and domestic violence. And for bronies who are dealing with parents saying they can't watch a show for little girls . This is a sequel to proud to be a brony.

[@leo_brine25]

oh god, *Tell me* how u got at this thought

[@PlumpigArt]

Pretty much a song about life in general more than just MLP and tastes in TV shows I guess... ^^;

GETTI力G STRO力GER great album name isn't it?

[@MClabs15]

gettikag strokager

[@BlackGryph0n]

Think Kanji, not Katakana.

[@MClabs15]

Ah, ok. It's a great song regardless!

[@NeoStrikevoiceover]

You sure? it looks like the katakana for "ka" ^^ if I am wrong.... no biggies and my bad. ;) still awesome album and clever title.

[@BlackGryph0n]

Yes, they look similar, but would't it make more sense to assume it's the Kanji symbol for "Strength"? Considering the name of the album? ;-P

[@rosiediamond9142]

New projects, huh? Well I'm pumped? Are you pumped? Yeah, you're pumped! Love you, too, Gabe! I'll see you around.

[@rosiediamond9142]

Also, I'm sorry, but I've gone to the S'mores side, they have s'mores

[@MichelleCreber]

I really needed this song... about 10 years ago... Let's hope it's not too late for others! because I know it's still a problem and people still need these words!

[@ctaylor9308]

I don't know how to say this properly but thank you so much for the music, and the laughter. I've been going through a hard time recently and this song and Who You Are has helped me a lot in staying distracted from self harming and from the monsters in my head.

[@vicksick5122]

Amazing music. I watch My little pony Friendship is Magic. Absolutely love the show. I'm Swapnil,India,Assam. I am a student of medical science and many of our patients in the hospitals love your voice. Inspiring & melodious,they say.

[@greenraptor5766]

Black gryphon! Oh my word! This song helped me so much. I let what people say define who I am sometimes. I guess we all do. But I felt like you were singing to me to encourage me! That really inspired me that a person as awsome and successful as you would be singing about that. This is so great! Thankyou so much. I know it an old vedio but I had to comment. You made my day. Thankyou so so so much. Please don't quit making music. Your the best. Thankyou.

[@watcherweatherly2399]

Never would have thought to use kanji/katakana to replace Roman letters with. I find it rather amusing to look at.

[@607]

Yeah, it's cool. I like it a lot more than using Greek letters.

[@BlackGryph0n]

Or MAYBE, we were using the Kanji symbol for "Strength". To both commemorate the three years I spent stationed in Japan, and also, you know, getting STRONGer. That would make a bit more sense, wouldn't it? ;-)

[@CurtisDominguezYo]

Do I want the intensity of DDR, or the friendly nature of S'mores? ... Nate! Start a third faction in your own videos!

[@dylanowens2157]

This is amazing, I just love it. My parents said that if I'm a furry or look at it I will get into trouble. I am still a proud furry and will not leave the fandom.

[@nocturnalsunlight3639]

>DDR club >DDR's are the master race I thought about a game called DDR. And I wanted to remind that Pump It Up is much better than DDR. xD

[@troyfrancis5459]

Black gryphon thank you for uploading this song and for making it about bullying and for those who deal with it. I am one of those people who have been bullied throughout my life and honestly it has affected me quite a bit. To the point of where I even think people are secretly judging me or just staring because I stand out a bit from others, mostly because I have ADD and Autism and didn't really have a lot of friends. Whenever I was bullied I didn't do anything about, say anything about it because I was afraid. I'm sure a lot of people can say the same thing, even you know how I feel. But doing that has taken its toll and now I'm just afraid of what people my say or do when they here even if it's by people that care about me so I want to say thank you for all of us that have dealt with bullying.

[@SirBuffaloKnight]

I really wish that I heard this song when I was in high school. Even now, it has effect on me!

[@tymonfrog]

Amazing Song!! Now about the DDR vs S'mores war, I'm a double agent.

[@doodlemunchkin2222]

Yes you're back! I've been missing your guys' music but I see you're back at it again with another great song. :)

[@AnimatronicPony]

I love this song also don't worry BlackGryphon I think the bullying days are over.

[@BlackGryph0n]

Once you pass the age of 20, you're pretty much in the clear, yeah. However, there are still a few adults who are perpetually stuck at the mental age of 7. XP

[@SkyeRoseVT1073]

Awesome song Gabe, this very well fits my life. I was always immediatly insulted for pretty everything I liked or did for a pretty long time. Eventually, I stood up to them and they stopped. I want to thank you for being one of my biggest inspirations in this world and I love your songs. I am learning bass and acoustic guitar right now and hopefully getting an electric on my b-day.

[@mr.monochrome2613]

Thank you black gryphon for understanding how some of us feel

[@jeffryurrutia3895]

A few words about this song; motivational and inspiring. Keep up the fantastic work Michelle Creber, Blackgryph0n, and Bassik. Also I prefer both DDR and S'mores, they are both creative names.

I don't like to choose ... so can i be a DDR S'more??

[@kbay7950]

This is my favorite song on the album!!! It has a catchy beat, yet the words are meaningful. I've shown this to some of my non brony friends and they've loved the song too! Thank you for this amazing song!

[@anonofyesterday4650]

K bay This song doesn't seem pony related at all though. I love it anyway.

[@zrayish]

Ya, I'm not even a brony, but Getting Stronger and ImMortal are 2 of my favorite albums along with the Brown family's album Space Available too. Getting Stronger is far less directly related to the show, which is great for fans like me (but I can respect him making brony songs too cause I get that he has to appeal to his main audience)

[@anonofyesterday4650]

I totally agree with you. I'd love to see another pony related song made by him but the ones that aren't are just as great so I'm fine either way.

[@ArtsyMeg]

Hey look who finally posted their next song! I already have to words to this and the rest of your album memorized!

[@ianmitchell5979]

Thank you SOO MUCH for making this song!! Even though I'm a senior, I've been having the struggle of fear of standing out too much with the weirdness that I say, or how I act. Although I have a LARGE circle of friends who are there for me, the REAL challenge, as it is for most people, is to convince myself. And even though there are a LOT of people who are happy to see me, there are quite a few people who'd rather not be around me. Though, I work hard to not let that get to me so much, and focus on the opinions that matter, and that's those who don't just accept you if you're like everyone else. And I know for a FACT that there are people out there who are struggling with stuff that is WAAY WORSE than what I'm going through, so I work hard to be there for them. I won't even give up on the people who don't accept me. Again, thank you for making this AMAZING piece!! It really does help! Good luck for the future, guys!!^-^
