Verse 1:

Now that you are out of my life,

I'm so much better,

You thought that i'd be weak without ya,

But i'm stronger,

You thought that i'd be broke without ya,

But i'm richer,

You thought that i'd be sad without ya,

I laugh harder,

You thought i wouldn't grow without ya,

Now i'm wiser,

You thought that i'd be helpless without ya,

But i'm smarter,

You thought that i'd be stressed without ya,

But i'm chillin'

You thought i wouldn't sell without ya,

Sold nine million.



(chorus)

I'm a survivor (what),

I'm not gonna give up (what),

I'm not gon' stop (what),

I'm gonna work harder (what),

I'm a survivor (what),

I'm gonna make it (what),

I will survive (what),

Keep on survivin' (what),

I'm a survivor (what),

I'm not gonna give up (what),

I'm not gon' stop (what),

I'm gonna work harder (what),

I'm a survivor (what),

I'm gonna make it (what),

I will survive (what),

Keep on survivin' (what).



Verse 2:

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 ya,

But i'm lastin'

You thought that i would die without ya,

But i'm livin'

Thought that i would fail without ya,

But i'm on top,

Though it would 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)



(bridge)

I'm wishin' 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 on you or your family, yo,

(i'm better than that)

I'm not gonna hate you in the magazine,

(i'm better than that)

I'm not gonna compromise my christianity,

(i'm better than that)

You know i'm not gonna diss you on the internet

Cause my momma told me better than that.



(chorus)



Oh

After all of the darkness and sadness,

Still comes happiness,

If i surround myself with positive things,

I'll gain prosperity.
