Strong in the Real Way

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

This song is available at Aivi & Surasshu's SoundCloud stream.

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!(In episode the second half is sang through a megaphone)

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