Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Welcome to the wonderful world of Destiny's Child
I'm the Brat-tat-tat
My homeboy Den on the track
And we gonna lay you flat on your back
When the beat-boom-boom-pat-pat like that, y'heard me?
We comin' into 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
Y'heard me? Beyonce where you at?
Uh!
[Verse 2]
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
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 million
[Verse 3]
I'm a survivor (What?) I'm not gon' give up (What?)
I'm not gon' stop (What?) I'm gon' 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 gon' give up (What?)
I'm not gon' stop (What?) I'm gon' work harder (What?)
I'm a survivor (What?) I'm gonna make it (What?)
I will survive (What?) Keep on survivin' (What?)
[Verse 4]
Wshing 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 gon' blast you on the radio
(I'm better than that)
I'm not gon' lie on you and your family
(I'm better than that)
I'm not gon' hate on you in the magazines
(I'm better than that)
I'm not gon' compromise my Christianity
(I'm better than that)
You know I'm not gon' diss you on the internet
'Cause my mama taught me better than that
[Verse 5]
I'm a survivor (What?) I'm not gon' give up (What?)
I'm not gon' stop (What?) I'm gon' work harder (What?)
I'm a survivor (What?) I'm gonna make it (What?)
I will survive (What?) Keep on survivin' (What?)
[Verse 6]
Uhh, now I done been through the storm and the rain
Climbed up the rough side and got tougher times, but I remain
Ya buff out the stuff that shine, and pull out the pump to protect mine
Survive in the game, hate on me 'cause you lame
They don't ever see your face or say your name
No more pain for me, no more misery, 'cause you history
I'ma hold on to what I got, strap on my perfection, strap on protection
My own direction, born to be the best at what I do, I'ma make it through
Stompin like a soldier in my big black boots
I keep 'em "Jumpin, Jumpin," stayin' funky, funky for you
No matter who's that man who walk out of your life
You don't need him, don't be no heathen
Long as I see you breathin', not leavin' for no reason
Seen 'em come and go, once rich, they now po'
No house no more, not even a condo
As long as I know how to love, I'ma stay alive, don't need your game or style
They can't tame me 'cause I'm wild, not ashamed of stayin' down
Can the rain sit, and on things chromed out, spit
In my game, no doubt, I'ma get paid in a big way, survivor
[Verse 7]
I'm a survivor (What?) I'm not gon' give up (What?)
I'm not gon' stop (What?) I'm gon' 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 gon' give up (What?)
I'm not gon' stop (What?) I'm gon' work harder (What?)
I'm a survivor (What?) I'm gonna make it (What?)
I will survive (What?) Keep on survivin' (What?)
[Verse 8]
I'm a survivor (What?) I'm not gon' give up (What?)
I'm not gon' stop (What?) I'm gon' 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 gon' give up (What?)
I'm not gon' stop (What?) I'm gon' work harder (What?)
I'm a survivor (What?) I'm gonna make it (What?)
I will survive (What?) Keep on survivin' (What?)
