Something Strong Lyrics


Hey!!!... we got it going on!
heyeyey!!.. we got it going on
Verse 1:
No separating
Me and my lady
We're firm as the rock of Gibraltar & mountains around "Hi'rusalem"
Oooh, You labor in vein if you're trying to
Bring us pain, cuz you'll never win
You cannot go round us, she said Tarrus, nothing divides us
Chorus:
Now there's more than a million reasons to quit
but we'll never split
More than a million reasons to quit
but we're holding on
Love is what dreams are made of
and in my visions all I see is her

we got something strong
and so we're holding on.
Dem never know we're serious, never wan we link one another
Tell her I'm not the type to carry home to mother
Dem put up all type traps and barriers
Still I show them that true loves a conqueror
Chorus 2:
More than a million reasons to quit
but we'll never split
we got something strong
and so we're holding on.
Verse 2:
This love it the truth yeah...
and we've got the fruits to prove it
Still I keep a wide eye for parasites, who try to defy
Now, People gone try things
some find pleasure in spoiling a good thing
Still I let them know that in our life there is no weak links
Chorus 3:
Now theres more that a millioin rivers to cross
But we gone make it through
And more than a gazillion people gonna talk
so, so, so, so, so, sooo
Love that dreams are made of
And in my visions all I see is her
we got something strong
and so we're holding on
Hey!...we got it going on
heeey!!! we got it giong on yeah...
Verse 1 (repeat)
No separating
Me and my lady
We're firm as the rock of Gibraltar & mountains around "Hi'rusalem"
mmm, You labor in vein if you're trying to...
Bring us pain, you'll never win
You cannot go round us, she said Tarrus, nothing divides us
Chorus 2(repeat)
Now there's more than a million reasons to quit
ooh, but we'll never split
and more that a million reasons to quit...
but we hold on
Love is what dreams are made of
And in my visions all I see is her
we got something strong
and so we're holding on, yeah
this love is what dreams are made of
and in my visions all I see is her
We got something strong, so we're holding on on on
Heeyy!!, We got it going on, yeah yeah
Heeyyy!!, We got it going on oooh
Dem never know we're serious, never wan we link one another
Tell her I'm not the type to carry home to mother
Dem put up all type stumbling barriers
Still I show them that true loves a conqueror
ohhh, we got it going on yeah oooohoooo!

Tarrus Riley born Omar Riley in Bronx, New York, is a promising reggae singer and songwriter. His early years were spent in music studios and traveling the world with his dad. He picked up something special along the way. He is a songwriter of uncommon intelligence, breadth with a deft touch. His emotional and spiritual IQ matches his heartfelt sincerity. As a singer, his vocal style is reassuring. It conveys his every mood, concern and context eloquently. His songwriting is bold, yet definitive, passionate and authentic, without being strident or overly militant. Except for the same surname, Tarrus, while clearly not possessing his famous father's voice with its sharp edge, is content musically to create his own legacy.
------------------------------------
Riley is the son of veteran singer Jimmy Riley and nurse Lavern Tatham-Riley. He was born in the Bronx and grew up in South Florida. He began his musical career as a deejay working with Busta Rhymes, taking his birth sign as his stage name at his mother's suggestion (the spelling later changed from Taurus to Tarrus), and recorded his first singles for his father's Love & Promotion label. He was guided in his early career by Dean Fraser, who also performs in his band and produces much of Riley's work.
Riley has released three albums, Challenges (2004), Parables (2006), and Contagious (2009). Contagious features guest appearances from Damian Marley, Vybz Kartel, Etana, Konshens, Demarco and Duane Stephenson. His commercial breakthrough came in 2006 with the Parables album and the Jamaican number one single "She's Royal".

Riley was awarded the Reggae Runnins Caribbean Heritage Award at the 2009 HOT 105 FM Caribbean-American Heritage Awards. He was nominated in the Best Reggae category of the 2009 MOBO Awards.
