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
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
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
