Welcome to the wonderful world of Destinys Child
Im Da Brat-tat-tat, my homeboy Den on the track
and we gon lay you flat on yo back
when the beat-boom-boom-pat-pat like that, yheard me?
We comin in this game like some survivors
and we leavin this game like some survivors
So from now, until we dead and gone
we gon BE, some survivors, yheard me?
Beyonce, where you at? Uhh!
Now that youre outta my life, Im so much better
You thought that Id be weak without ya, but Im stronger
You thought that Id be broke without ya, but Im richer
You thought that Id be sad without ya, I love harder
You thought I wouldnt grow without ya, now Im wiser!
You thought that Id be helpless without ya but Im smarter
You thought that Id be stressed without ya, but Im chillin
You thought I wouldnt sell without ya, sold nine million
Ima survivor (WHAT), Im not gon give up (WHAT)
Im not gon stop (WHAT), Im gon work harder (WHAT)
Ima survivor (WHAT), Im gonna make it (WHAT)
I will survive (WHAT), keep on survivin (WHAT)
You thought I couldnt breathe without ya, Im inhaling
You thought I couldnt see without ya, perfect vision
You thought I couldnt last without ya, but Im lastin
You thought that I would die without ya, but Im livin
Thought that I would fail without ya, but Im on top
Thought it would be over by now, but it wont stop
Though that I would self-destruct, but Im still here
Even in my years to come, Im still gon be here!
Wishin you the best, pray that you are blessed
Much success, no stress, and lots of happiness
Im better than that! Im not gon blast you on the radio
Im better than that! Im not gon lie on you and your family
Im better than that! Im not gon hate on you in the magazines
Im better than that! Im not gon compromise my Christianity
Im better than that! You know Im not gon diss you on the internet
cause my momma tought me better than that!
Uhh, cmon, uhh
Now that I been through the storm and the rain
Climbed up the ruff side and got tough at times
but I remain, if I got the stuff to shine
and without the pump, protect mine
Survive in the game, hate on me cause you lame
They dont ever see your face or say your name
No more pain for me, no more misery, cause you history
Ima hold on to what I got
Strap on to my perfection, strap on protection
My own direction, born to be the best at what I do
Ima make it through, stompin like a soldier in my big black boots
I keep em "Jumpin, Jumpin," stayin funky, funky for you
No matter whos that man that walk out of your life
You dont need em, dont be no heater
Long as Im still breathin, not leavin for no reason
See them come and go, one switch, they not gold
No house no mo, not even a condo
As long as I know how to love, Ima stay alive
No need your game or style
They cant tame me cause Im wild, not ashamed of stayin down
Can the rain sit, and em things chromed out, spit
and in my game, no doubt, Ima get paid in a big way, survivor!
