Paid My Dues Anastacia

[Intro]
You can say what you want about me
Try to do what you want to me
But you cannot stop me

[Verse 1]
I've been knocked down, it's a crazy town
Even got punched in the face in L.A
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
Live by the code that you gotta move on
Feeling sorry for yourself ain't got nobody nowhere so I...

[Pre-Chorus]
Held my head high
(I knew) knew I'd survive
(Well, I made it) I made it
(Don't hate it) Don't hate it
That's just the way it goes

[Chorus]
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
