Album: Slave
Paid My Dues
Spoken:
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 punched 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
Life by the code that you gotta move on
Feel excited for yourself
and got nobody nowhere
so I
(Held my head high)
I knew I (Knew I survive)
Well I made it (I made it)
Don't hate it (Don't hate it)
That's just the way it goes
Yeah
Had to make it through
Stand on my own two
I paid my dues, yeah yeah
Tried to hold me down
You can't stop me now
I paid my dues
Spoken:
So like I told you
You cannot stop me
I paid my dues
Now I'm still trusted 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 whose 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)
Oahh (Don't hate it)
That's just the way it goes
Yeah
Had to make it through
Stand on my own two
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
It took so long to get me here
But I won't live in fear
Of you trying 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
(Held my head high)
Knew I (Knew I survive)
Oahh (I made it)
(Don't hate it)
Said that's just the wayyyyy
(Had to make it through)
(Stand on my own two)
I said I paid my, I paid my dues
Yeahhhhh
(Tried to hold me down)
But you can't stop me now (you can't stop me now)
(I paid my dues) I paid my, paid my dues
(I done made it through) oahhh
(Stand on my own two) oh
(I paid my dues) I paid my, I paid my dues
yeah yeah
(Tried to hold me down)
But you can't stop me now (you can't stop me now)
(I paid my dues) I paid my dues
