Here to Stay

Well, everybody got an opinion now, don't they?
But it ain't no thing to me
It really don't make any difference now to me
If you don't like what you see

I pay no mind to the negative kind
'Cause that's just no way to be
I don't stop to please someone else's needs
Gonna live my life for me

I'm gonna keep on, I'm a do my own thing
We all got a song that we're meant to sing
And no matter what people say or might think
I ain't going no place, no, I'm here to stay

Gonna keep on doing my thing
'Cause whether they love or they hating on me
I'll still be the same girl I used to be
'Cause I ain't going no place, no, I'm here to stay
I'm here to stay, I'm here to stay

I've never been the type to be shy
I know that some would say I'm too headstrong
But I'd rather be a woman who voices her mind
Whether you think I'm right or wrong

And I know some people wanna criticize
Makes 'em feel better about themselves
So say what you will, time will reveal
In the end that I will be here still

I'm gonna keep on, I'm a do my own thing
We all got a song that we're meant to sing
And no matter what people say or might think
I ain't going no place, no, I'm here to stay

Gonna keep on doing my thing
'Cause whether they love or they hating on me
I'll still be the same girl I used to be
'Cause I ain't going no place, no, I'm here to stay

Gotta get up, keep my head up
Gonna keep on turning it up, never let up
If I keep stepping it up, I'ma prove it
I'm never gonna be stopped, like it or not

Gotta get up, keep my head up
Gonna keep on turning it up, never let up
If I keep stepping it up, I'ma prove it
I'm never gonna be stopped, like it or not

No matter the pressures that face me
I believe, I believe they will see
I'll never let anyone break me
All your doubt can do now is strengthen me

And life, it ain't always that easy
Gotta fight to see past the boundaries
Crossing the lines I will define
Every time that forever is mine

I'm gonna keep on, I'm a do my own thing
We all got a song that we're meant to sing
And no matter what people say or might think
I ain't going no place, no, I'm here to stay

Gonna keep on doing my thing
'Cause whether they love or they hating on me
I'll still be the same girl I used to be
'Cause I ain't going no place, no, I'm here to stay

I'm gonna keep on, I'm a do my own thing
We all got a song that we're meant to sing
And no matter what people say or might think
I ain't going no place, no, I'm here to stay

Gonna keep on doing my thing
'Cause whether they love or they hating on me
I'll still be the same girl I used to be
'Cause I ain't going no place, no, I'm here to stay
