[Verse 1]
[Am][Spoken][G][F][G][Am]
You can say what you want about [G]me
Want to do what you want [F]to me
But [G]you [Am]cannot stop me

[Verse 2]
I've [Am]been knocked down
it's a crazy town
[G]Even gotta punch in the face in l.a.
Ain't [F]nothin' in the world that can [G]keep
me from doing [Am]what I want to do
'Cause I'm too proud, I'm too strong,
[G]live by the code that you gotta move on
Feeling [F]sorry for yourself ain't
[G]got nobody [Am]nowhere

[Verse 3]
So [Am]I (held my head high)
[Bm]Knew I (knew I'd survive)
Well I made [C]it (I made it)
Don't [Dm]hate [D]it (don't hate it)[Am]
That's just the way it goes

[Verse 4]

Now I'm [Am]still trusted everyday and
[G]people try to mess with Anastasia
Gotta [F]an other thing comin' 'cause I [G]have
a mind and I [Am]thought I'd better let you know
I'm no punk I can't get down,
I [G]don't give a damn about who's around
[F]That's worked just [G]fine [Am]'til now

[Verse 7]
So [Am]I (held my head high)

But I won't live in [F]fear
Are you [G]tryin' to steal [Am]my shine?
First they want to build you [G]up
Then they tear you [F]down
It's a [G]struggle, tryin' a [Am]bubble
