[A] [B] [C#m] [C#]
I've been knocked down this crazy [B] town, even got burns from the face in [A] LA, ain't nothing
in the [B] world that can keep me from [C#] doing what I wanna do.
Cause I'm too proud, I'm too [B] strong, live by the goals that you gotta move [A] on, feel
sorry for [B] yourself, ain't got [C#m] nobody nowhere.
[C#]
So I held my [D#] life to serve, well I [E] made it, I [F#] made it, I done [C#] made it, that's just the
way it [C#m] goes.
I done made it [B] through, stand on my own [A] two, I [B] paid my [C#] dues.
[C#m] Try to hold me [B] down, you can't stop me [A] now, I paid [B] [C#] my dues.
[C#m] Cause I'm like [B] I'm a
[A] [B] queen, I [C#m] do [C#] it.
Now I'm still tested everyday, [B] and people try to mess with me and the stage, [A] I got another
thing [B] coming cause I handle mine, [C#] and I thought I better let you know, I'm [C#m] no punk, I can't
get [B] down, I don't give a damn about who's [A] around, that's [B] what's just fine, [C#m] till [C#] now.
So I [D#] held my life to serve, well I [E] made it, [F#] I [C#] made it, I done made it, that's just the
way it [C#m] goes.
I done made it through, [B] stand on my own two, [A] I paid [B] my [C#] dues.

[C#m] to steal my shine?
[C#] But first, they wanna build [F#] you up, [B] and they said [A] you're down, [B] it's a struggle, [C#] try to follow home.
So I held [D#m] my life to serve, well [E] I [F#] made [C#] it, [Dm]
[C] I [A#] made [C] it, I [D] done made it, [Dm]
that's just the
