Survivor

(album: Hold On - 2022)

Now that you're out of my life
I'm so much better
Thought that I'd be weak without you
But I'm stronger
Thought that I'd be broke without you
But I'm richer
Thought that I'd be sad without you
I laugh harder
Thought I wouldn't grow without you
Now I'm wiser
I'd be helpless without you
But I'm smarter
Thought that I'd be stressed without you
But I'm chillin
Thought I wouldn't sell without you
Sold nine million

I'm a survivor
I'm not gon' give up
I'm not gon' stop
I'm gon' work harder

I'm a survivor
I'm gonna make it
I will survive
Keep on surviving

I'm a survivor
I'm a survivor

I'm a survivor (What?)
I'm gonna make it (What?)
I will survive (What?)
Keep on surviving (What?)

Thought I couldn't breathe without you
I'm inhaling
Thought I couldn't see without your
Perfect vision
Thought I couldn't last without you
But I'm lasting
Thought that I would die without you
But I'm living
Thought that I would fail without you
But I'm on top
Should be over 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 gonna be here

I'm a survivor
I'm not gon' give up
I'm not gon' stop
I'm gon' work harder

I'm a survivor
I'm gonna make it
I will survive
Keep on surviving

I'm a survivor
I'm a survivor

I'm a survivor (What?)
I'm gonna make it (What?)
I will survive (What?)
Keep on surviving (What?)

Wishing you the best
Pray that you are blessed
Much success, no stress, and lots of happiness

(I'm better than that)
Not gon' blast you on the radio
(I'm better than that)
Not gonna lie to your family, no
(I'm better than that)
Not gon' hate on you in the magazines
(I'm better than that)
Not gonna compromise my Christianity
(Better than that)
Not gonna diss you on the internet
(I'm better than that)
My momma taught me better than that
I'm better than that

I'm a survivor
I'm gonna make it
I will survive
Keep on surviving

I'm a survivor
I'm not gon' give up
I'm not gon' stop
I'm gon' work harder
I'm a survivor
I'm gonna make it
I will survive
Keep on surviving

I'm a survivor
Oh (oh) oh (oh)

After all of the darkness and sadness
Soon comes happiness

I'm a survivor

If I'm surrounded by positive things
I'll gain prosperity

I'm a survivor (What?)
I'm a survivor (What?)
I'm a survivor (What?)
I'm gonna make it (What?)
I will survive (What?)
I'm a survivor
