I'm a survivor (survivor)
Oh!
I'm a survivor

Now that you're out of my life, I'm so much better
Thought that I'd be weak without you, but I'm stronger
Thought that I'd be broke without you, but I'm richer
Thought that I'd be sad without you, I laugh harder

Thought I wouldn't grow without you, now I'm wiser
Thought that I'd be helpless without you, but I'm smarter
Thought that I'd be stressed without you, but I'm chillin'
Thought I wouldn't sell without you, sold a million

I'm a survivor, I'm not gon' give up
I'm not gon' stop, I'm gon' work harder
I'm a survivor, I'm gonna make it
I will survive, keep on surviving

I'm a survivor, I'm not gon' give up
I'm not gon' stop, I'm gon' work harder
I'm a survivor, I'm gonna make it
I will survive, keep on surviving

Thought I couldn't breathe without you, I'm inhaling
Thought I couldn't see without you, perfect vision
Thought I couldn't last without you, but I'm lasting
Thought that I would die without you, but I'm living

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, I'm not gon' give up
I'm not gon' stop, I'm gon' work harder
I'm a survivor, I'm gonna make it
I will survive, keep on surviving

I'm a survivor, I'm not gon' give up
I'm not gon' stop, I'm gon' work harder
I'm a survivor, I'm gonna make it
I will survive, keep on surviving

Wishing 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 to you and your family, though
(I'm better than that)
I'm not gonna hate on you in the magazines
(I'm better than that)
I'm not gonna compromise my insanity
(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, I'm not gon' give up
I'm not gon' stop, I'm gon' work harder
I'm a survivor, I'm gonna make it
I will survive, keep on surviving

After all the darkness and sadness, soon comes happiness
(I'm a survivor)
If I surround myself with positive things, I gain prosperity

I'm a survivor, I'm not gon' give up
I'm not gon' stop, I'm gon' work harder
I'm a survivor, I'm gonna make it
I will survive, keep on surviving

I'm a survivor, I'm not gon' give up
I'm not gon' stop, I'm gon' work harder
I'm a survivor, I'm gonna make it
I will survive, keep on surviving
