I Always Knew Lyrics


I always knew I would one day be here
But I couldnt be a puppet on a string
Ive had my fights, often Ive been KOd
But Ive got back up, no I wont give inAnd now I know how it works
If youre too nice you loseIm gonna make it to the top, well let me show you
And if Ive got to toughen up then that is what Ill do
Don't make me a monster baby you'd be crazy that's for sure
Becoming a bitch is not what I got into music forI remember back to a bench in Wales
Where two young boys started mocking me
I looked at them, thought Ill show you one day
But I didnt fight or stand up for meAnd that young girl's learned the hard way
If youre too nice you loseIm gonna make it to the top, well let me show you
And if Ive got to toughen up then that is what Ill do
Don't make me a monster baby you'd be crazy that's for sure
Becoming a bitch is not what I got into music forIll make it crystal clear that I am not going anywhere
As long as there is music Ill be here, hereIm gonna make it to the top, well let me show you
And if Ive got to toughen up then that is what Ill do
Don't make me a monster baby, you'd be crazy that's for sure

Becoming a bitch is not what I got into music forIm gonna make it to the top, well let me show you
And if Ive got to toughen up then that is what Ill do
Ive sold you a million baby, not just maybe thats for sure
Given the chance Ill show you I can sell a million more

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Jem

Jem is the stage name of the singer-songwriter Jemma Griffiths (born 18 May 1975, in Penarth, Wales, United Kingdom). Her eclectic musical style encompasses elements of trip-hop, folk and rock. She is best known for the single "They" and the succesful album Finally Woken.

Jem began singing and writing songs during her time at Stanwell school at age thirteen. She attended Sussex University and she did eventually receive a degree in law. She also focused on being a DJ agent in Brighton where she spent a lot of time promoting club nights, and helped set up and run the label Marine Parade.

In November 1999, Jem assembled a mobile recording studio where she further developed her songwriting and music production skills. During this period, she completed four demos. Her solo career began in earnest in 2002, when a demo version of the song "Finally Woken" was played on the LA radio station KCRW. The track became one of the most listener-requested songs at the station, landing her in their top 5 played artists, and all prior to any record label being attached. As a result, she signed to Dave Matthews' ATO Records label.

Along with electronic producer Guy Sigsworth (Björk, Frou Frou), Jem wrote the song "Nothing Fails", which was later reworked by Madonna and appeared on her 2003 album American Life. In October 2003, Jem issued the moderately successful EP It All Starts Here, followed in 2004 by the single "They".

In 24 May 2004, Jem released her debut album Finally Woken on ATO Records. The album was produced by Ge-Ology, Yoad Nevo and Jem. Finally Woken was later released in Europe in 6 March 2005 and it was promoted by four singles: "They" (#6 UK), "Just a Ride" (#16 UK), "Wish I" (#24 UK) and "24" (promotional-only).

In 16 September 2008, she released the sophomore album Down to Earth. The album was preceded by the single "It's Amazing". Jem collaborated with Jeff Bass, Lester Mendez, Greg Kurstin and Vusi Mahlasela.

Jem's music featured on various movies (Closer, Eragon, Sex and the City, Monster-in-Law, The Prince and Me), trailers (Ultraviolet, Closer), ads (Lexus), and TV series (The OC, Six Feet Under, Gossip Girl, Smallville, 90210, Grey's Anatomy).
