Ay Yo

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

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 dieLa la, di di da, di di di, da di da

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

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 dieLa la, di di da, di di di, da di da

Ay yo, ay yo, ay yo

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

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 dieLa 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 dieLa la, di di da, di di di, da di da
