You can say what you want about me,
try to do what you want to me,
but you cannot stop me.
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 can keep me from doing what I want to do,
cause I'm too proud,
I'm too strong,
live by the code that you gotta move on,
feelin' sorry for yourself,
ain't got nobody, nowhere,
so I held my head high,
I knew I'd survive,
well I made it,
I made it,
I done made it,
that's just the way it go,
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,
I did it every day,
and people try to mess with Anastasia,
got another thing coming 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 who's around,
that's worked just fine,
till now,
so I held my head high,
I knew I'd survive,
well I made it,
I made it,
I done made it,
that's just the way it go,
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,
yeah,
yeah,
yeah,
it took so long to get me here,
but I won't live in fear,
