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
Thought that I'd be
sad without ya
I laugh harder
Thought I wouldn't
grow without ya
now I'm wiser
Thought that I'd be
helpless without ya
but I'm smarter
Thought that I'd be
stressed without ya
but I'm chillin'
Thought I wouldn't
sell without ya
sold nine million
I'm a survivor
I'm not gonna give up
I'm not gon' stop
I'm gonna work harder
I'm a survivor
I'm gonna make it
I will survive
keep on survivin'
I'm a survivor
I'm not gonna give up
I'm not gon' stop
I'm gonna work harder
I'm a survivor
I'm gonna make it
I will survive
keep on survivin'
You thought I couldn't
breathe without you
I'm inhalin'
You thought I couldn't
see without you
perfect vision
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 it would be
over by now
but it won't stop
You 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
I'm not gonna give up
I'm not gon' stop
I'm gonna work harder
I'm a survivor
I'm gonna make it
I will survive
keep on survivin'
I'm a survivor
I'm not gonna give up
I'm not gon' stop
I'm gonna work harder
I'm a survivor
I'm gonna make it
I will survive
keep on survivin'
I'm wishin' you the best
pray that you are blessed
much success no stress
and lots of happiness
I'm not gonna blast
you on the radio
I'm not gonna lie to
you or your family, yo
I'm not gonna hate
you in the magazines
I'm not gonna compromise
my Christianity
You know I'm not gonna
diss you on the Internet
'cause my momma
taught me better than that
I'm a survivor
I'm not gonna give up
I'm not gon' stop
I'm gonna work harder
I'm a survivor
I'm gonna make it
I will survive
keep on survivin'
I'm a survivor
I'm not gonna give up
I'm not gon' stop
I'm gonna work harder
I'm a survivor
I'm gonna make it
I will survive
keep on survivin'
Oh, oh, oh, ooh
woah, woah, woah, woah
After all of my
darkness and sadness
still comes happiness
If I surround myself
with positive things
how they respect me
I'm a survivor
I'm not gonna give up
I'm not gon' stop
I'm gonna work harder
I'm a survivor
I'm gonna make it
I will survive
keep on survivin'
I'm a survivor
I'm not gonna give up
I'm not gon' stop
I'm gonna work harder
I'm a survivor
I'm gonna make it
I will survive
keep on survivin'
I'm a survivor
I'm not gonna give up
I'm not gon' stop
I'm gonna work harder
I'm a survivor
I'm gonna make it
I will survive
keep on survivin'
I'm a survivor
I'm not gonna give up
I'm not gon' stop
I'm gonna work harder
I'm a survivor
I'm gonna make it
I will survive
keep on survivin'
