[Intro] Hey yeah yeah, whoa yeah, whoa oh yeah [Verse 1] 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 it's just no way to be I don't stop to please someone else's needs Gonna live my life for me [Chorus] I'm gonna keep on, gonna 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're hating' on me I'll still be the same girl I used to be And I ain't going no place, no I'm here to stay [Bridge] I'm here to stay Whoa oh oh yeah (I'm here to stay) Whoa oh oh yeah (I'm here to stay) [Verse 2] 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 [Verse 3] And I know some people wanna criticize Makes them feel better about themselves So say what you will Time will reveal In the end that I will be here still [Chorus] I'm gonna keep on, gonna 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're hating' on me I'll still be the same girl I used to be And I ain't going no place, no I'm here to stay [Verse 4] Gotta get up Keep my head up Gonna keep on turning it up, never let up If I keep stepping it up, I'm a prove that I ain't 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'm a proven that I ain't never gonna be stopped, like it or not Woah woah woah [Verse 5] No matter the pressures that face me I believe, I believe that we'll 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 [Chorus][x2] I'm gonna keep on, gonna 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're hating' on me I'll still be the same girl I used to be And I ain't going no place, no I'm here to stay
