Survivor

Now that you are out of my life,

I'm so much better

You thought that I'd be weak without ya,

but I'm stronger

You thought that I'd be broke without ya,

but I'm richer

You thought that I'd be sad without ya,

I laugh harder

You thought I wouldn't grow without ya,

now I'm wiser

You thought that I'd be helpless without ya,

but I'm smarter

You thought that I'd be stressed without ya,

but I'm chillin'

You thought I wouldn't sell without ya,

sold 9 million

I'm a survivor (what),

I'm not gon' give up (what)

I'm not gon' stop (what),

I'm gon' work harder (what)

I'm a survivor (what), I'm gonna make it (what)

I will survive (what), keep on survivin' (what)

Thought I couldn't breath without ya,

I'm inhalin'

You thought I couldn't see without ya,

perfect vision

You thought I couldn't last without ya,

but I'm lastin'

You thought that I would die without ya,

but I'm livin'

Thought that I would fail without ya,

but I'm on top

Thought that it would be over by now,

but it won't stop

Thought that I would self destruct,

but I'm still here

Even in my years to come,

I'm still gon' be here

I'm a survivor (what),

I'm not gon' give up (what)

I'm not gon' stop (what),

I'm gon' work harder (what)

I'm a survivor (what), I'm gonna make it (what)

I will survive (what), keep on survivin' (what)

I'm wishin' you the best,

pray that you are blessed

Much success, no stress, and lots of happiness

(I'm better than that)

I'm not gon' blast you on the radio

(I'm better than that)v I'm not gon' lie on you or yo family,

(I'm better than that)

I'm not gon' hate on you in the magazine

(I'm better than that)

I'm not gon' compromise my christianity

(I'm better than that)

You know I'm not gon' diss you on the internet

('Cause my mama taught me better than that)

I'm a survivor (what),

I'm not gon' give up (what)

I'm not gon' stop (what),

I'm gon' work harder (what)

I'm a survivor (what), I'm gonna make it (what)

After all of the darkness and sadness,

soon comes happiness

If I surround myself with positive things,

I'll gain posterity

I'm a survivor (what),

I'm not gon' give up (what)

I'm not gon' stop (what),

I'm gon' work harder (what)
