I wanna thank you
For every time you tried
To get the best of me inside
How many times I compromised
I dont do this for the glory
Or for what people might say
Im gonna do this my own way
Starting today
Theres nothing that you can tell me
Ill show you I was born ready
And I say, ay yo
Rise up, let me see your head high
And if youre 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 yo
And Im gon rock it to the fullest in this life
So Ima 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
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 youre in first dont forget the last
You gotta give it all you have
Oh, life can be unforgiving
Im fighting to keep on living
And I say, ay yo
Rise up, let me see your head high
And if youre 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 yo
And Im gon rock it to the fullest in this life
So Ima 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
If 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, yeah
Only you can make it
Whats 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, let me see your head high
And if youre 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 yo
And Im gon rock it to the fullest in this life
So Ima 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 yo
Rise up, let me see your head high
And if youre 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 yo
And Im gon rock it to the fullest in this life
So Ima give it all I got before I die
La la, di di da, di di di, da di da
