Lyrics

Held my head high
Knew I'd survive
I made it
I don't hate it

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 can keep
Me from doing what I wanna do

'Cause I'm too proud, I'm too strong
Live by the code that you gotta move on
Feel excited for yourself
Ain't got nobody nowhere

So I
Held my head high
Knew I (Knew I'd survive)
Well I made it (I made it)
I don't hate it (Don't hate it)
That's just the way it goes
I'm done, made it through
Stand on my own two
I paid my dues
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 my jaded heart
Gotta nothing in common
Cause I handle mine
And I thought I'd 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 fine 'til now

So I
Held my head high
Knew I (Knew I'd survive)
Well I made it (I made it)
Oh-oh (Don't hate it)
That's just the way it goes
I'm done, made it through
Stand on my own two
I paid my dues
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

So I
Held my head high
Knew I (Knew I'd survive)
Well I made it (I made it)
I don't hate it (Don't hate it)
That's just the way it goes
I'm done, made it through
Stand on my own two
I paid my dues
Tried to hold me down
You can't stop me now
I paid my dues

I'm done, made it through
Stand on my own two
I paid my dues
Tried to hold me down
You can't stop me now
I paid my dues

So I
Held my head high
Knew I (Knew I'd survive)
Well I made it
I don't hate it
That's just the way it goes
I'm done, made it through
Stand on my own two
I paid my dues
Tried to hold me down
You can't stop me now
I paid my dues
