Here to Stay

Hey, yeah, yeah

Whoa, yeah

Whoa, whoa, yeah

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, Imma do my own thing

We all got a song that we're meant to sing (Yeah)

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 hatin' 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, oh, whoa, yeah

I'm here to stay, oh, yeah

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, Imma do my own thing (Yeah)

We all got a song that we're meant to sing (Ah, meant to sing, yeah)

And no matter what people say or might think (Think)

I ain't goin' no place, no

I'm here to stay

Gonna keep on doing my thing (I'm gonna keep on)

'Cause whether they love or they hatin' on me (Hatin' on me, babe)

I'll still be the same girl I used to be

'Cause I ain't goin' 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, Imma 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, Imma prove that

I ain't never gonna be stopped, like it or not

Whoa, whoa, whoa

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 line, I will define every time that forever is mine

I'm gonna keep on, Imma do my own thing

We all got a song that we're meant to sing (Yeah)

And no matter what people say or might think

(No matter what they)

I ain't goin' no place, no

I'm here to stay

Gonna keep on doing my thing

'Cause whether they love or they hatin' on me (They're hatin' on me)

I'll still be the same girl I used to be

(I'm still the same girl I used to be, and I ain't goin' no place)

'Cause I ain't goin' no place, no

I'm here to stay

Gonna keep on doing my thing

We all got a song that we're meant to sing (So sing your song)

And no matter what people say or might think

I ain't goin' no place, no (I ain't goin' no place, yeah)

I'm here to stay

Gonna keep on doing my thing (Keep on doing my thing)

'Cause whether they love or they hatin' on me (Love or hate on me)

I'll still be the same girl I used to be (Same girl I used to be)

I ain't goin' no place, no

I'm here to stay, yeah
