[** Originally by Destiny's Child:]





Now that you're out of my life

I'm so much better

You thought that I'd be weak without you

But I'm stronger

You thought that I'd be broke without you

But I'm richer

You thought that I'd be sad without you

I laugh harder

You thought I wouldn't grow without you

Now I'm wiser

Though that I'd be helpless without you

But I'm smarter

You thought that I'd be stressed without you

But I'm chillin'

You thought I wouldn't sell without you

Sold 9 million



I'm a survivor (What?)

I'm not gon give up (What?)

I'm not gon stop

I'm gon work harder 

I'm a survivor (What?)

I'm gonna make it (What?)

I will survive 

Keep on survivin' 



I'm a survivor (What?)

I'm not gon give up (What?)

I'm not gon stop

I'm gon work harder

I'm a survivor (What?)

I'm gonna make it (What?)

I will survive 

Keep on survivin'



Thought I couldn't breathe without you

I'm inhaling

You thought I couldn't see without you

Perfect vision

You thought I couldn't last without you

But I'm lastin'

You thought that I would die without you

But I'm livin'

Thought that I would fail without you

But I'm on top

Thought 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 go on give up (What?)

I'm not go on stop 

I'm go work harder

I'm a survivor (What?)

I'm gonna make it (What?)

I will survive

Keep on survivin' 



I'm a survivor (What?)

I'm not go on give up (What?)

I'm not go on stop 

I'm gon work harder 

I'm a survivor (What?)

I'm gonna make it (What?)

I will survive 

Keep on survivin' 



I'm wishin' you the best

Pray that you are blessed

Bring much success, no stress, and lots of happiness

I'm not gon blast you on the radio

I'm not gon lie on you and evalue

(I'm better than that)

I'm not gon hate on you in the magazines

('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

(I'm better than that)

Cause my mama taught me better than that



I'm a survivor (What?)
