Yeah.....      I'm a survivor      Hey...      I'm gon' work harder      Hey...      I'm a survivor      Now that you're outta 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   Though I wouldn't grow without you   Now I'm wiser   Thought 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 nine million      CH: 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      (repeat chorus)      I'm a survivor      Yeah...      Hey-ey...      I'm gon' work harder      Thought I couldn't breathe without you   I'm inhalin'   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'   You thought that I would bail 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      REPEAT CHORUS 4 times      I'm a survivor...      I'm 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 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 on 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      REPEAT CHORUS 2 times      Oh, oh, oh.....      Oh, oh, oh.....      REPEAT CHORUS      I'm a survivor   Hey...   Not gon' stop me now!      I'm gonna make it   I will survive   Keep on surviving   Yeah....
