Survivor

I 'm a survivor (what)
I'm not gonna give up (what)
I'm not gon' stop (what)
I'm gonna work harder (what)
I'm a survivor (what)
I'm gonna make it (what)
I will survive (what)
Keep on survivin' (what)

1. Ah, yeah
Not really feel it guys
Let's try it, with a little more...uhmmm...shall we?
OK, you are on a wild island
No food, no shelter, no hope or rescue.

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.

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

2. 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 gon' be here.

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
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.

[Chorus]

Oh
(Oh)

Oh
(Oh)
Oh
(Oh)

Oh
(O h)
Oh
(Oh)

Oh
(Oh)
Oh
(Oh)

Oh
(Oh)

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

[Chorus:]

I 'm a survivor (what)
I'm a survivor-or-or
