You can say what
you want about me
Wanna do what
you want to me
But you can not stop me
I've been knocked down
It's a crazy town
Even got a punch
in the face in LA
Ain't nothing in the world that
you keep me from doing
what I wanna do
'Cause I'm too proud
I'm too strong
Life by the code that
you gotta move on
Feel excited for yourself
and got nobody no way
so I
Held my head high
Knew I
(Knew I survive)
Well I made it
(I made it)
I don't hate it
(Don't hate it)
That's just the way it goes
Yeah
I done made it through
Stand on my own two
I paid my dues yeah
Tried to hold me down
You can't stop me now
I paid my dues
So like i told you
You can not stop me
I paid my dues
Now I'm still
trusted every day
people try to
mess with Anastacia
gotta nothing in common
cause I handle mine
and I thought I better
let you know
Cause I'm no punk
I can't get down
I don't give a damn
about abuse around
that was just fine 'til now
So I
(Held my head high)
Knew I
(Knew I survive)
Well I made it
(I made it)
Oahh (Don't hate it)
That's just the way it goes
Yeah
I done made it through
Stand on my own two
I paid my dues
Yeah yeah
Tried to hold me down
you can't stop me now
I paid my dues yeah
yeah yeah yeah
Took so long to
get me here
But I won't live in fear
You try to steal my shine
But first they
wanna build you up
Then they tear you down
It's a struggle
you try to bubble
so I
(Held my head high)
Knew I
(Knew I survive)
Oahh
(I made it)
(Don't hate it)
Said that's just the way
(I done made it through)
(Stand on my own two)
I said I paid my
I paid my dues
Yeahhhhh
(Tried to hold me down)
But you can't stop me now
I paid my
paid my dues
(I done made it through) oahhh

(Tried to hold me down)
But you can't stop me now
I paid my dues
