Strong in the Real Way

"Strong In the Real Way" is a song written by Rebecca Sugar and sung by Pearl and later Steven in the episode, "Coach Steven". Pearl and Steven look back at each other constantly throughout the song, as if to prove their points.

Lyrics:
Annoyed Pearl: Groans: Steven...

Gentle piano music plays,

Pearl, singing:

Steven turns up his stereo, making the music louder and pop-styled.

Steven, yelling: Who's ready to get buff? I don't want to see your gut, I want to see your guts!

(Greg, Lars, and Sadie do a final set of exercises and groan)
