[offset:500]
[00:10.25] You can say what you want about me
[00:13.27] Wanna do what you want to me
[00:15.68] But you can not stop me
[00:18.91] I've been knocked down
[00:20.68] It's a crazy town
[00:21.96] Even got a punch in the face in LA
[00:24.28] Ain't nothing in the world that you keep me from doing what I wanna do
[00:28.77] 'Cause I'm too proud, I'm too strong
[00:31.80] Life by the code that you gotta move on
[00:34.17] Feel excited for yourself
[00:35.61] and got nobody no way
[00:38.54] so I...
[00:39.73] (Held my head high)
[00:41.41] Knew I (Knew I survive)
[00:43.27] Well I made it (I made it)
[00:45.21] I don't hate it (Don't hate it)
[00:46.72] That's just the way it goes
[00:48.57] Yeah
[00:49.37] I done made it through
[00:51.71] Stand on my own two
[00:54.06] I paid my dues, yeah
[00:59.05] Tried to hold me down
[01:01.51] You can't stop me now
[01:03.78] I paid my dues
[01:09.99] So straight back on
[01:12.06] You cannot stop me
[01:14.42] I paid my dues
[01:18.18] Now I'm still trusted every day
[01:21.02] people try to mess with Anastacia
[01:23.37] gotta nothing in common
[01:24.75] cause I handle mine
[01:26.01] and I thought I better let you know
[01:28.50] I'm no punk I can't get down
[01:31.16] I don't give a damn about abuse around
[01:33.66] that was just fine 'til now
[01:37.70] So I...
[01:38.69] (Held my head high)
[01:40.43] Knew I (Knew I survive)
[01:42.58] Well I made it (I made it)
[01:44.37] Oahh (Don't hate it)
[01:45.99] That's just the way it goes
[01:47.90] Yeah
[01:48.92] I done made it through
[01:51.05] Stand on my own two
[01:53.14] I paid my dues
[01:57.02] Yeah yeah
[01:58.48] Tried to hold me down
[02:00.66] you can't stop me now
[02:02.97] I paid my dues, yeah
[02:06.94] yeah yeah yeah
[02:08.02] Took so long to get me here
[02:11.68] But I won't live in fear
[02:13.86] You try to steal my shine
[02:17.56] But first they wanna build you up
[02:21.40] Then they tear you down
[02:23.62] It's a struggle, you try to bubble
[02:26.37] so I...
[02:27.51] (Held my head high)
[02:29.07] Knew I (Knew I survive)
[02:31.48] Oahh (I made it)
[02:34.00] (Don't hate it)
[02:34.97] Said that's just the wayyyyy
[02:37.25] (I done made it through)
[02:39.86] (Stand on my own two)
[02:41.89] I said I paid my, I paid my dues
[02:46.13] Yeahhhhh
[02:47.48] (Tried to hold me down)
[02:48.79] But you can't stop me now (you can't stop me now)
[02:52.08] (I paid my dues) I paid my, paid my dues
[02:58.64][02:55.97] (I done made it through) oahhh
