Take My Pride

by Samantha Lowe - Scorpio

nothing can push me back
no one can pull me out
nobody can call me a quitter
i'm on my own again
and living it up

always used to have me on a leash
always tugged and pulled
and pushed me down
now the real me is out
and it's here to stay

i don't need any help
no hand to lift me up
nothing to take me higher
just myself
and me alone

if i get knocked down
i'll get right back up
brush the dirt off my butt
and keep moving
for quitters never win

if i get kicked around
i'll smile
and not kick back
but take my pride
and keep on walking

i'm on my own again
and this is how it's gonna stay
for no one is going to tell me what to do
how to be
and when to give up

for the first time in my life
i'm finally myself.
