Lyrics

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 gonna give up (what)
I'm not gon' stop (what), 
I'm gonna work harder (what)
I'm a survivor (what), I'm gonna make it
(what)
I'm a survivor (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 gonna be here

I'm a survivor (what), 
I'm not gonna give up (what)
I'm not gon' stop (what), 
I'm gonna work harder (what)
I'm a survivor (what), I'm gonna make it
(what)
I'm a survivor (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 gonna blast you on the radio 
(I'm better than that)
I'm not gonna lie on you or yo family, yo
(I'm better than that)
I'm not gonna hate on you in the magazine
(I'm better than that)
I'm not gonna compromise my christianity
(I'm better than that)
You know I'm not gonna diss you on the
internet
('Cause my mama taught me better than that)

I'm a survivor (what), 
I'm not gonna give up (what)
I'm not gon' stop (what), 
I'm gonna work harder (what)
I'm a survivor (what), I'm gonna make it
(what)
I'm a survivor (what), keep on survivin' (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 gonna give up (what)
I'm not gon' stop (what),
I'm gonna work harder (what)
I'm a survivor (what), I'm gonna make it
(what)
I'm a survivor (what), keep on survivin' (what)

I'm a survivor (what), 
I'm not gonna give up (what)
I'm not gon' stop (what), 
I'm gonna work harder (what)
I'm a survivor (what), I'm gonna make it
(what)
I'm a survivor (what), keep on survivin' (what)
