Survivor

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

I'm a survivor
I'm not gonna give up
I'm not gonna stop
I'm gonna work harder
I'm a survivor
I'm gonna make it
I will survive

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 gonna be here

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

After all of the darkness and sadness
Still comes happiness
If I surround myself with positive things
I'll gain prosperity
