paid my dues þarký sözü

[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)

yeah

stand on my own two
i paid my dues, yeah
tried to hold me down
you can´t stop me now

[spoken:]

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
