To the survivors:

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 

Though 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 

I'm a survivor (What?) 

I'm not goin' give up (What?) 

I'm not goin' stop (What?) 

I'm goin' work harder (What?) 

I'm a survivor (What?) 

I'm goin'na make it (What?) 

I will survive (What?) 

Keep on survivin' (What?) 

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' 

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 goin' be here 

I'm a survivor (What?) 

I'm not goin' give up (What?) 

I'm not goin' stop (What?) 

I'm goin' work harder (What?) 

I'm a survivor (What?) 

I'm goin'na make it (What?) 

I will survive (What?) 

Keep on survivin' (What?) 

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 goin' blast you on the radio 

(I'm better than that) 

I'm not goin' lie on you and your family 

(I'm better than that) 

I'm not goin' hate on you in the magazines 

('m better than that) 

I'm not goin' compromise my Christianity 

(I'm better than that) 

You know I'm not goin' diss you on the internet 

'Cause my mama taught me better than that

After of all of the darkness and sadness 

Soon comes happiness

I'll gain prosperity
