I walked through fire, slept in the rain Carried my name like a ball and chain They said: Girl, you're bound to break But I got a rhythm they couldn't shake I've been bruised, I've been burned Had to dance for every dime I earned But when the world said: Sit back down I turned my stomp into a sound Now I keep on boogin' with my fists held high Thunder in my chest, steel in my stride Ain't no shame in where I've been I got a backbeat under my skin Keep on boogin' louder than before Feet like hammers on the floor You want stillness? Not this soul I'm the storm you can't control Raised on struggle, fed on blues Turned my pain into worn-out shoes I don't glide, I drive through dust Every step I take, I raise some rust No gold crown, no safety net But every beat I drop, you won't forget This groove ain't cute, it's earned and torn By a woman who's danced through every storm I keep on boogin', battle-born and bold Drums of thunder, heart of gold My scars all sing, my bones all shout I boogie what the pain can't drown out Keep on boogin' now and always This soul don't die, it just replays Keep Ain't no silence in my soul I keep on boogin' and I take control
