Intro

     

Verse 1

I've been knocked out, it's a crazy town
Even got a punch in the face in LA
Ain't nothing in the world that can 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
Feelin' sorry for yourself
Ain't got nobody nowhere

Pre-chorus

So I held my head high, knew I'd survive
I made it, I don't hate it
That's just the way it goes

Chorus

I done made it through, stand on my own two
I paid my dues
Try to hold me down, you can't stop me now
I paid my dues

Break

     

Verse 2

Now I'm still tested every day
People try to mess with Anastacia
Got another thing comin' cause I handle mine and I thought I'd better let you know
I'm no punk, I can't get down
I don't give a damn about who's around that was just fine 'til now

Pre-chorus

So I held my head high, knew I'd survive
I made it, I don't hate it
That's just the way it goes

Chorus

I done made it through, stand on my own two
I paid my dues
Try to hold me down, you can't stop me now
I paid my dues

Bridge

Took so long to get me here
But I won't live in fear
Oh you're tryin` to steal my shine
First they wanna build you up
But then they tear ya down
It's a struggle, you try to bubble

Pre-chorus

So I held my head high, knew I'd survive
I made it, I don't hate it
That's just the way it goes

Chorus

I done made it through, stand on my own two
I paid my dues
Try to hold me down, you can't stop me now
I paid my dues
I done made it through, stand on my own two
I paid my dues
Try to hold me down, you can't stop me now
I paid my dues
