Paid My Dues

Текст песни Jemme - Paid My Dues

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 could
Keep me from doing what I wanna do
'Cause I'm, 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 held my head high (I knew I)
Knew I'd survive (But I made it)
I made it (I don't hate it), I 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

Now I'm still tested every day
People try to mess with Anastacia
Got nothing in common 'cause I have 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 fun 'til now

So I held my head high (I knew I)
Knew I'd survive (But I made it)
I made it (I don't hate it), I 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

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 trying to bubble

So I held my head high (I knew I)
Knew I'd survive (But I made it)
I made it (I don't hate it), I 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
