All my life I've been paying my dues,|Only coz I gamble with so much to lose,|Who am I to say if I'm gonna get away,|Tryin' to make a living not making any pay,|Gotta do what I can to survive,|The music is the only thing keeping me alive.||CHORUS:|All these cats keep staring me down,|tryin' to run my ass right out of this town,|All these cats keep staring me down,|tryin' to run my ass right out of this town,|I ain't gonna look,|I ain't gonna listen,|I'm just gonna continue on my mission,|Hey, I'm here to stay!||You can go ahead and intimidate me,|All you gonna do is really just make me,|Try to prove you wrong, try if I must,|Sing a little song, leave you in the dust,|We coulda been in harmony,|You're just looking for an enemy,||CHORUS||Yeah yeah yeah yeah|Yeah yeah yeah yeah|Yeah yeah yeah yeah|Yeah yeah yeah yeah|Yeah yeah yeah yeah||CHORUS||CHORUS||I'm here to stay,|I'm here to stay! |
