The Greatest

The Greatest è una canzone di Sia pubblicata il 6 settembre 2016. Non fa parte dell’ultimo fortunatissimo album della cantante, This Is Acting, ma sembra essere il primo capitolo di un progetto chiamato #weareyourchildren.
The Greatest vede la partecipazione del rapper Kendrick Lamar. La protagonista del video ufficiale è, ancora una volta, la giovane ballerina che ha accompagnato gli ultimi successi di Sia: Maddie Ziegler

Testo The Greatest

Uh-oh, running out of breath, but I
Oh, I, I got stamina
Uh-oh, running now, I close my eyes
Well, oh, I got stamina
And uh-oh, I see another mountain to climb
But I, I got stamina
And uh-oh, I need another love to be mine
Cause I, I got stamina

Don’t give up; I won’t give up
Don’t give up, no no no
Don’t give up; I won’t give up
Don’t give up, no no no

I’m free to be the greatest, I’m alive
I’m free to be the greatest here tonight, the greatest
The greatest, the greatest alive
The greatest, the greatest alive

Well, uh-oh, running out of breath, but I
Oh, I, I got stamina
Uh-oh, running now, I close my eyes
But, uh-oh, I got stamina
And oh yeah, running to the waves below
But I, I got stamina
And oh yeah, I’m running and I’m just enough
And uh-oh, I got stamina

Don’t give up; I won’t give up
Don’t give up, no no no
Don’t give up; I won’t give up
Don’t give up, no no no

I’m free to be the greatest, I’m alive
I’m free to be the greatest here tonight, the greatest
The greatest, the greatest alive
The greatest, the greatest alive

Oh-oh, I got stamina
Oh-oh, I got stamina
Oh-oh, I got stamina
Oh-oh, I got stamina

Hey, I am the truth
Hey, I am the wisdom of the fallen; I’m the youth
Hey, I am the greatest; hey, this is the proof
Hey, I work hard, pray hard, pay dues, hey
I transform with pressure; I’m hands-on with effort
I fell twice before; my bounce back was special
Letdowns will get you, and the critics will test you
But the strong will survive; another scar may bless you, ah

Don’t give up (no no); I won’t give up (no no)
Don’t give up, no no no (nah)
Don’t give up; I won’t give up
Don’t give up, no no no

I’m free to be the greatest, I’m alive
I’m free to be the greatest here tonight, the greatest
The greatest, the greatest alive (don’t give up… no no no)
The greatest, the greatest alive (don’t give up… no no no)

The greatest, the greatest alive (don’t give up… I got stamina)
The greatest, the greatest alive (don’t give up… I got stamina)
The greatest, the greatest alive (don’t give up… I got stamina)
The greatest, the greatest alive (don’t give up… I got stamina)
The greatest, the greatest alive (don’t give up… I got stamina)
The greatest, the greatest alive (don’t give up… I got stamina)
The greatest, the greatest alive (don’t give up… I got stamina)
