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
It's a crazy town
Even got a punch
in the face in LA
Ain't nothing in the
world that would keep
me from doing
what I wanna do
'Cos I'm too proud,
I'm too strong
Live by the code
that you gotta
move on
Feel excited
for yourself
Ain't got nobody
nowhere
so I
Knew I
Well I made it
I don't hate it
That's just the
way it goes
Yeah
I done made
it through
Stand on my own too
I paid my dues,
yeah
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
Yeah!
Now I'm still
trusted every day
People try
to mess
with Anastacia
Got another
think coming
'cos 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
Knew I
Well I made it
Oahh
That's just the
way it goes
Yeah
I done made
it through
Stand on
my own too
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...
Knew I
Oahh
Said that's
just the way....
I said I paid my
I paid my dues
Yeah.......
But you can't
stop me now
I paid my,
paid my dues
Oahhh
Oh I paid my
I paid my dues
Yeah
But you can't
stop me now
I paid my dues
