Paid My Dues Songtext
von Jaded Heart

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
