I just can't try and hide, what I know I feel inside 'Cause in this life I have got to do, what my heart knows to be right Won't let nobody tell me how I should be living Won't live my life for no one else but me 'Cause I'm deserving all the love that I've been giving I won't be nobody else you see This is my life, gonna hold my head high Gonna live it with pride, till the day that I die ya This is my life, gonna hold my head high Gonna live it with pride, till the day that I die I got my pride, I got my pride, I got my pride, Ain't no one gonna take it away I got my pride, I got my pride, I got my pride, Ain't no one gonna take it away You know if you search yourself, you will find you can't be wrong Don't need to change for nobody else, let your pride say you belong Won't let nobody tell me how I should be living Won't live my life for no one else but me 'Cause I'm deserving all the love that I've been giving I won't be nobody else you see This is my life, gonna hold my head high Gonna live it with pride, till the day that I die ya This is my life, gonna hold my head high Gonna live it with pride, till the day that I die I got my pride, I got my pride, I got my pride, Ain't no one gonna take it away I got my pride, I got my pride, I got my pride, Ain't no one gonna take it away
