The lyrics talk about how the protagonist has faced a lot of challenges in life and is often treated badly by others, but he doesn't let it get to him. He is in control of his own life and won't let others bring him down. He encourages others to stand up for themselves and fight for their own happiness and well-being. The song is about being strong and not letting others take advantage of or harm you.
