[Verse 1]
Now that you're out of my life, I'm so much better
You thought I would be weak without you, but I'm stronger
Thought I would be broke without you, but I'm richer
You thought I would be sad without you, I laugh harder
You thought I wouldn't grow without you, but I'm wiser
Thought I would be helpless without you, but I'm smarter
Thought that I would be stressed without you, but I'm chillin'
Thought I wouldn't sell without you, sold nine million

[Chorus]
I'm a survivor (What?)
I'm not gon' give up (What?)
I'm not gon' stop
Gonna work harder
I'm a survivor (What?)
I'm gonna make it (What?)
I will survive
Keep on survivin'
I'm a survivor (What?)
I'm not gon' give up (What?)
I'm not gon' stop
Gonna work harder
I'm a survivor (What?)
I'm gonna make it (What?)
I will survive
Keep on survivin'
[Verse 2]
Thought I couldn't breathe without you, I'm inhaling
Thought I couldn't see without you, perfect vision
Thought I couldn't last without you, but I'm lastin'
Thought that I would die without you, but I'm livin'
You thought that I would fail without you, but I'm on top (Top)
Thought it would be over by now, it won't stop (Stop)
You thought I would self destruct, but I'm still here
Even in my years to come, still gonna be here

[Chorus]
I'm a survivor (What?)
I'm not gon' give up (What?)
I'm not gon' stop
I'm gonna work harder
I'm a survivor (What?)
I'm gonna make it (What?)
I will survive
Keep on survivin'
I'm a survivor (What?)
I'm not gon' give up (What?)
I'm not gon' stop
Gonna work harder
I'm a survivor (What?)
I'm gonna make it (What?)
I will survive
Keep on survivin'
[Bridge]
I'm wishing you the best
Pray that you are blessed
Bring much success, no stress, and lots of happiness
I'm not gonna blast you on the radio
I'm not gonna lie to you and your family, oh
(I'm better than that)
I'm not gonna hate you in the magazines
(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
(I'm better than that)
My mama taught me better than that

[Chorus]
I'm a survivor (What?)
I'm not gon' give up (What?)
I'm not gon' stop
Gonna work harder
I'm a survivor (What?)
I'm gonna make it (What?)
I will survive
Keep on survivin'
I'm a survivor (What?)
I'm not gon' give up (What?)
I'm not gon' stop
Gonna work harder
I'm a survivor (What?)
I'm gonna make it (What?)
I will survive
Keep on survivin'
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

[Chorus]
I'm a survivor (What?)
I'm not gon' give up (What?)
I'm not gon' stop
I'm gonna work harder
I'm a survivor (What?)
I'm gonna make it (What?)
I will survive
Keep on survivin'
I'm a survivor (What?)
I'm not gon' give up (What?)
I'm not gon' stop
Gonna work harder
I'm a survivor (What?)
I'm gonna make it (What?)
I will survive
Keep on survivin'
