Paid My Dues

This is such a powerful song... Anastacia's voice is DA BOMB!!!

She is geil

Great song. I named my greyhound racer after it!

This is a really powerful song. It makes you feel good about yourself and what you do. She's saying that she worked hard to get to where she is, and she's not gonna let anyone bring her down. She put to much into getting to the top, and now that she's there she's not backing down for anything. We should all think like this when it comes to achieving our goals.

The lyrics are wrong

Here are the correct lyrics:

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 a punch in the face in LA Ain't nothin' in the world that could keep me from doin what I wanna 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 (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

Yeah, 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 like I told you You cannot stop me I paid my dues, yeah

Now I'm still tested everyday And people try to mess with Anastacia 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 worked just fine till now

So I (held my head high) Knew I (knew I'd survive) Well I made it (I made 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

Took so long to get me here But I won't live in fear Of you tryin' to steal my shine But first they wanna build you up Then they tear you down It's a struggle, tryin' to bubble

So I...

You can say what you want about me Wanna do what you want to me But you can not stop me

this is a great power song, i think those first three lines sum the whole song up really

bingo, youd have to be a fair dumbcunt to name a dog after this

This song to me is about going through something really hard and making it through.. youv paid your dues now your going to prove that you still got it and can still make it and you will

It's funny, she once said that there is no metaphor in the lines "Even got a punch in the face in LA " ... she ACTUALLY got punched in LA...once she was walking down the streets and there were some guys fighting and she interrupted them and got punched lol
