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
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
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 wayyyyy
(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
(Stand on my own two) oh
I paid my I paid my dues
Yeahh
(Tried to hold me down)
But you can't stop me now
I paid my dues
