Spoken: |
|
You can say what you want about me |
|
Try to do what you want to me |
|
But you can not stop me! |
|
I've been knocked down |
|
It's a crazy town |
|
Even got punched 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 |
|
Live by the code that you gotta move on |
|
Feeling sorry for yourself |
|
Ain't got nobody nowhere |
|
So I... |
|
(Held my head high) |
|
Knew I (Knew I'd survive) |
|
Well I made it (I made it) |
|
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 |
|
Spoken: |
|
So, like I told you |
|
You cannot stop me! |
|
I paid my dues |
|
Now I'm still tested every day |
|
And people try to mess with Anastacia |
|
got another thing comin' |
|
cause I have a mind |
|
and I thought I better let you know |
|
I'm no punk I can get down |
|
I don't give a damn about who's around |
|
that was just fine till now |
|
So I... |
|
(Held my head high) |
|
Knew I (Knew I'd 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'd 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 (you can't stop me now) |
|
(I paid my dues) I paid my, paid my dues |
|
(I done made it through) oahhh |
|
(Stand on my own two) oh |
|

|

|
(Tried to hold me down) |
|
But you can't stop me now (you can't stop me now) |
|
