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
H
I paid my dues
So straight back on
You cannot stop me
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)
Oaaah (Don't hate it)
That's just the way it goes Yeah
I done made it through

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 (here)
But I won't live in fear (fear)
You try to steal my shine (shine)
But first they wanna build you up (up)
Then they tear you down (down)
It's a struggle, you try to bubble so I
(Held my head high)
Knew I (Knew I survive)

(Don't hate it)
Said that's - just - the - wayyyyy
