Did it, did it, did it on my own Did it, did it, I did it on my own They say they don't like the color of my hair My childish dreams, they won't get me anywhere They say they don't like the style of my clothes And I don't stand a single chance, what do they know? All of those sleepless nights, thinking I won't survive I almost gave up, I was breaking But in my darkest hour, I found my inner power And life is not gonna take it So I stand right here and nobody will know It's been a long, long troublesome road I did it on my own And I've got this smile upon my face even though It's been a long, long troublesome road I did it on my own Did it, did it, I did it on my own Did it, did it, I did it on my own Did it, did it, did it on my own Did it, did it, I did it on my own Did it, did it, I did it on my own They say that I shouldn't play my music loud I'm going nowhere cause I don't run with the crowd They say the world don't need people like me Such hateful words, didn't know they cut so deep Under those sleepless nights, thinking I won't survive Always gave up, I was breaking But in my darkest hour, I've spent my inner power And life is my moment to care So I stand right here and nobody will know It's been a long, long troublesome road I did it on my own And I've got this smile upon my face even though It's been a long, long troublesome road I did it on my own Nobody's gonna tell me how to live my life Nobody's gonna tell me I'm gon' need life Nobody's gonna tell me what I can and can't do I'm living proof, so I stand right here and nobody will know It's been a long, long troublesome road I did it on my own Gonna throw my party, I don't care if you shout It's been a long, long troublesome road I did it on my own Did it on my own I did it on my own It's been a long, long troublesome road I did it on my own Did it on my own Did it, did it I did it on my own
