Verse 1

Well, everybody got an opinion now, don't they

But it ain't no thing to me

It really don't make any difference now to me

If you don't like what you see

I pay no mind to the negative kind

'Cause that's just no way to be

I don't stop to please someone else's needs

Gonna live my life for me

Chorus

 I'm gonna keep on, Imma do my own thing

 We all got a song that we're meant to sing

 And no matter what people say or might think

 I ain't going no place, no, I'm here to stay

 Gonna keep on doing my thing

 'Cause whether they love or they hating on me

 I'll still be the same girl I used to be

 'Cause I ain't going no place, no, I'm here to stay

I'm here to stay, I'm here to stay

Verse 2

I've never been the type to be shy

I know that some would say I'm too headstrong

But I'd rather be a woman who voices her mind

Whether you think I'm right or wrong

And I know some people wanna criticize

Makes 'em feel better about themselves

So say what you will, time will reveal

In the end that I will be here still

Chorus

 I'm gonna keep on, Imma do my own thing

 We all got a song that we're meant to sing

 And no matter what people say or might think

 I ain't going no place, no, I'm here to stay

 Gonna keep on doing my thing

 'Cause whether they love or they hating on me

 I'll still be the same girl I used to be

 'Cause I ain't going no place, no, I'm here to stay

Bridge

Gotta get up, keep my head up

Gonna keep on turning it up, never let up

If I keep stepping it up, I'ma prove that

I ain't ever gonna be stopped, like it or not (X2)

Chorus

 I'm gonna keep on, Imma do my own thing

 We all got a song that we're meant to sing

 And no matter what people say or might think

 I ain't going no place, no, I'm here to stay

 Gonna keep on doing my thing

 'Cause whether they love or they hating on me

 I'll still be the same girl I used to be

 'Cause I ain't going no place, no, I'm here to stay

 I'm gonna keep on, Imma do my own thing

 We all got a song that we're meant to sing

 And no matter what people say or might think

 I ain't going no place, no, I'm here to stay

 Gonna keep on doing my thing

 'Cause whether they love or they hating on me

 I'll still be the same girl I used to be

 'Cause I ain't going no place, no, I'm here to stay
