i wanna thank you for everytime you tried
to get the best of me inside
how many times i compromised
i don't do this for the glory
or for what people might say
i'm gonna do this my own way
starting today
there's nothing that you can tell me
i'll show you i was born ready
and i say AY YO
rise up lemme see your head high
and if you're wit it put your hands up in the sky
la da di di da da di di da da da
ay yo ay yo ay yo AY YO
and i'm gon' rock it to the fullest in this life
so i'mma give all i got before i die
la da di di da da di di da da da
ay yo ay yo ay yo
every woman has a purpose
nothing happens by chance
this is your life here in your hands
you gotta fight to take the stand
and 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 have
oh life can be unforgiving
i'm fighting to keep on living
and i say AY YO
rise up lemme see your head high
and if you're wit it put your hands up in the sky
la da di di da da di di da da da
ay yo ay yo ay yo AY YO
and im gon' rock it to the fullest in this life
so i'mma give all i got before i die
la da di di da da di di da da da
ay yo ay yo ay yo
if you have a light
then hold it up and let it shine
would you make the choice to be your destiny
or let this lifetime pass you by
only you can make it
what's yours is yours no one can take it
if you have a dream
something you believe
its time to set it free
and i say AY YO
rise up lemme see your head high
and if you're wit it put your hands up in the sky
la da di di da da di di da da da
ay yo ay yo ay yo AY YO
and i'm gon' rock it to the fullest in this life
so i'mma give all i got before i die
la da di di da da di di da da da
ay yo ay yo ay yo
