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

I got my pride
I got my pride
I got my pride
Ain't no one gonna take it away
