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) I thought I wouldn't grow without you (now I'm wiser) I 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 a million) I'm a survivior Not gonna give up I'm not gon' stop, gonna work harder I'm a survivor I'm gonna make it I will survive, keep on survivin' Well, I thought I couldn't breathe without (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 (right here) I'm a survivior... I'm a survivior... Wishin' you the best Pray that you are blessed Brings happiness Not gonna blast you on the radio Not gonna lie on you and your family Not gonna hate on you in the magazines Not gonna compromise my Christianity Not gonna diss you on the internet 'Cause my Mama taught me better than that After all the darkness and the sadness Still comes happiness, woah If I surround myself with positive things I will gain prosperity I'm a survivior... I'm a survivior...
