PAIED MY DUES
From Album: Freak of Nature
Written By: G. Lawson - D. Sharpe - L. Kafi - Anastacia
Intro:
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 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
You can't stop me now
I paid my dues
Spoken:
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
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
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)
