Now that you're out of my life, I'm so much better
You thought that I'd be weak without you, I'm stronger
You thought that I'd be broke without you, I'm richerYou 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 millionI'm a survivor, I'm not gon' give up
I'm not gon' stop, gonna work harder
I'm a survivor, I'm gonna make it
I will survive, keep on survivin'Thought I couldn't breathe without you, I'm inhaling
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 fail 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 hereI'm a survivor, I'm not gon' give up
I'm not gon' stop, I'm gonna work harder
I'm a survivor, I'm gonna make it
I will survive, keep on survivin'After all of the darkness and sadness
Soon comes happiness
If I surround myself with positive things
I'll gain prosperityI'm a survivor, I'm not gon' give up
I'm not gon' stop, gonna work harder
I'm a survivor, I'm gonna make it
I will survive, keep on survivin'
