Survivor

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
You thought that I'd be helpess 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 nine million

Chorus:
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 survivin'

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 survivin'

You thought I couldn't breathe without you 
I'm inhaling
You thought I couldn't see without you 
Perfect vision
You thought I wouldn't last without you 
But I'm lasting
You thought that I would die without you 
But I'm living

You thought that I would fail without you 
But on top
You thought that it'd 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

Chorus:
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 survivin'

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 survivin'

I'm wishin' you the best, 
Pray that you are blessed
Bring 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), 
I'm not gon' lie on you and your family
(I'm better than that), 
I'm not gon' hate you in the magazines
(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
Cuz my Mamma taught me better than that

After all of the darkness and saddness, 
Soon comes happiness
If I surround myself with positive things, 
I'll gain prosperity
