A woman sings it, it came out in the 90's- these are the only lyrics I know;
"You gotta be hard, you gotta be tough, you gotta be a fighter"
(It's not Christina A)- there was a joke song made about it on Saturday night live once.

Des'ree "You Gotta Be"
Listen as your day unfolds
Challenge what the future holds
Try and keep your head up to the sky
Lovers, they may cause you tears
Go ahead release your fears
Stand up and be counted
Don't be ashamed to cry
You gotta be
You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold
You gotta be wiser, you gotta be hard
You gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm
You gotta stay together
All I know, all I know, love will save the day
Herald what your mother said
Readin' the books your father read
Try to solve the puzzles in your own sweet time
Some may have more cash than you
Others take a different view
my oh my heh, hey..(repeat l)
Don't ask no questions, it goes on without you
Leaving you behind if you can't stand the pace
The world keeps on spinning
You can't stop it, if you try to
This time it's danger staring you in the face
oh oh oh
Remember (rpt 2)
My oh my heh, hey, hey(rpt 1, 1...ad lib to fade

I really got the song in my head, but I just can't remember her name. I know who you are talking about though. I think her name is Des'ree though if i am not mistaking.

The question has already been answered, but I just want to say it's a great motivational song.
