Ay Yo Songtext

Ay Yo Songtext
I wanna thank you
For every time you tried
To get the best of me inside
How many times I compromised
I don′t do this for the glory
Or for what people might say (might say)
I'm gonna do this my own way
Starting today
There′s nothing that you can tell me
I'll show you I was born ready
And I say, ay yo
Rise up, let me see your head high
And if you're with it, put your hands up in the sky
La-la, di-di-da, di-di-di, da-di-da
Ay-yo, ay-yo, ay-yo, ay-yo
And I′m gon′ rock it to the fullest in this life
So I'ma give it all I got before I die
La-la, di-di-da, di-di-di, da-di-da
Ay-yo, ay-yo, ay-yo, ay-yo
Every woman has a purpose
Nothing happens by chance
This is your life here in your hands
You gotta fight to take the stand
And I know you might not see it
But the high can fall so fast
When you′re in first don't forget the last
You gotta give it all you have
Oh, life can be unforgiving
I′m fighting to keep on living
And I say, ay yo
Rise up, let me see your head high (head high)
And if you're with it, put your hands up in the sky
La-la, di-di-da, di-di-di, da-di-da
Ay-yo, ay-yo, ay-yo, ay-yo
And I′m gon' rock it to the fullest in this life
So I'ma give it all I got before I die
La-la, di-di-da, di-di-di, da-di-da
Ay-yo, ay-yo, ay-yo, ay-yo
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
If you have a light
Then hold it up and let it shine
Would you make the choice to meet your destiny?
Or let this lifetime pass you by? Yeah
Only you can make it
What′s yours is yours, no one can take it
If you have a dream
Something you believe, it′s time to set it free
And I say ay yo
Rise up, let me see your head high (head high)
And if you're with it, put your hands up in the sky
La-la, di-di-da, di-di-di, da-di-da
Ay-yo, ay-yo, ay-yo, ay-yo
And I′m gon' rock it to the fullest in this life (in this life)
So I′ma give it all I got before I die (give it all I got until I die)
La-la, di-di-da, di-di-di, da-di-da
Ay-yo, ay-yo, ay-yo, ay-yo
Rise up, let me see your head high
And if you're with it, put your hands up in the sky
La-la, di-di-da, di-di-di, da-di-da
Ay-yo, ay-yo, ay-yo, ay-yo
And I′m gon' rock it to the fullest in this life
So I'ma give it all I got before I die
La-la, di-di-da, di-di-di...
For every time you tried
To get the best of me inside
How many times I compromised
I don′t do this for the glory
Or for what people might say (might say)
I'm gonna do this my own way
Starting today
There′s nothing that you can tell me

Rise up, let me see your head high

Ay-yo, ay-yo, ay-yo, ay-yo
And I′m gon′ rock it to the fullest in this life
So I'ma give it all I got before I die
La-la, di-di-da, di-di-di, da-di-da
Ay-yo, ay-yo, ay-yo, ay-yo
