I wanna thank you
For every time you tried
To get the best of me inside
How many times I compromisedI don't do this for the glory
Or for what people might say
I'm gonna do this my own way
Starting todayThere's nothing that you can tell me
I'll show you I was born readyAnd I say, ay yo
Rise up, let me see your head high
And if you're with it, put your hands up in the sky
La la, di di da, di di di, da di da
Ay yo, ay yo, ay yo, ay yoAnd I'm gon' rock it to the fullest in this life
So I'ma give it all I got before I die
La la, di di da, di di di, da di da
Ay yo, ay yo, ay yoEvery woman has a purpose
Nothing happens by chance
This is your life here in your hands
You gotta fight to take the standAnd I know you might not see it
But the high can fall so fast
When you're in first don't forget the last
You gotta give it all you haveOh, life can be unforgiving
I'm fighting to keep on livingAnd I say, ay yo
Rise up, let me see your head high
And if you're with it, put your hands up in the sky
La la, di di da, di di di, da di da
Ay yo, ay yo, ay yo, ay yoAnd I'm gon' rock it to the fullest in this life
So I'ma give it all I got before I die
La la, di di da, di di di, da di da
Ay yo, ay yo, ay yoIf you have a light
Then hold it up and let it shine
Would you make the choice to meet your destiny
Or let this lifetime pass you by, yeahOnly you can make it
What's yours is yours, no one can take it
If you have a dream
Something you believe, it's time to set it freeAnd I say ay yo
Rise up, let me see your head high
And if you're with it, put your hands up in the sky
La la, di di da, di di di, da di da
Ay yo, ay yo, ay yo, ay yoAnd I'm gon' rock it to the fullest in this life
So I'ma give it all I got before I die
La la, di di da, di di di, da di da
Ay yo, ay yo, ay yo, ay yoRise up, let me see your head high
And if you're with it, put your hands up in the sky
La la, di di da, di di di, da di da
Ay yo, ay yo, ay yo, ay yoAnd I'm gon' rock it to the fullest in this life
So I'ma give it all I got before I die
La la, di di da, di di di, da di da
