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
Knew I...

Well I made it
I don't hate it
That's just the way it goes

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
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
Knew I...

Well I made it
Oahh...
yeah...

That's just the way it goes
Yeah...
Stand on my own two...

I paid my dues
Yeah
hold me down

you can't stop me now
I paid my dues 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...

Oaah...
yeah...
Said that's just the way

yeah I said I paid my...
I paid my dues
Yeah...

But you can't stop me now
oh I paid my I paid my dues...
oahhh

Stand on my own two
oh
I paid my dues

yeeh
Tried to hold me down
But you can't stop me now...

I paid my dues...
