Anastacia - Paid My Dues
You can say what you want about me
Wanna do what you want to me
But you cannot stop me
I've been knocked down
At some crazy times
Even got a punch in the face in LA
Ain't nothing in the world that you
keep me from doin' what I wanna do
'Cause I'm too proud, I'm too strong
Life by the code that you gotta move on
Feelin' sorry for yourself ain't got nobody nowhere
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
I'm done, made it through
Stand on my own two
I paid my dues
Tried to hold me down
You can't stop me now
I paid my dues
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
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 who's around
That was just fine 'til now
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
I'm done, made it through
Stand on my own two
I paid my dues
Tried to hold me down
You can't stop me now
I paid my dues
Took so long to get me here
But I won't live in fear
You try to steal my shine
At first they wanna build you up
But then they tear you down
It's a struggle, try to follow
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
I'm done, made it through
Stand on my own two
I paid my dues
Tried to hold me down
You can't stop me now
I paid my dues
I'm done, made it through
Stand on my own two
I paid my dues
Tried to hold me down
You can't stop me now
I paid my dues
