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 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 9 million [Chorus] 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' I'm wishing 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 on you in the magazines ('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 Cause my mama taught me better than that [Bridge 2: Michelle Williams] After all of the darkness and sadness Soon comes happiness If I surround my self with positive things I'll gain prosperity [Chorus]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 [Outro] I will survive (la la la) Being fine (la la la) I will survive being sexy (la la la) I will survive being bootylicious
