Paid My Dues

Paid My Dues - DJ In the Night

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

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)

Oahh (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

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

(Held my head high)

Knew I (Knew I survive)

Oahh (I made it)

(Don't hate it)

Said that's just the wayyyyy

(I done made 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

(I done made it through) oahhh

(Stand on my own two) oh

(I paid my dues) I paid my I paid my dues

Yeahh

(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
