I don't know what you've been told
But this ain't no easy road
Everything that shines ain't gold
I think I need to let you know
I might trip and I might fall
Before you walk you got to crawl
You can't break me down at all
Here I am I'm standing tall
Everything I've got is 'cause of me, myself, and I (me, myself, and I)
Never gonna stop 'cause I know that
I'm gonna survive (I'm gonna survive)
What I want, I've got it (I just wanna thank my self)
Sun shine down on me (I just wanna thank my self)
Thought I didn't do it,
But I did it when they stood in my way (I just wanna thank my self)
Now at last but sure not least (I just gotta thank my self)
Never know if you don't try
I keep on doing what I like
I do what keeps my soul alive
Bein' happy ain't a crime
And when the world is out for me
And nothing goes my way
I roll with it so naturally
'Cause it's a brand new day
Everything I've got is 'cause of me, myself, and I (me, myself, and I)
Never gonna stop 'cause I know that
I'm gonna survive (I'm gonna survive)
What I want, I've got it (I just wanna thank my self)
Sun shine down on me (I just wanna thank my self)
Thought I didn't do it,
But I did it when they stood in my way (I just wanna thank my self)
Now at last but sure not least (I just gotta thank my self)
