Lyric Survivor (Remix Extended Version)
[Da Brat]
Welcome to the wonderful world of Destiny s Child
I m 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, y heard me?
We comin in this game like some survivor s
and we leavin this game like some survivor s
So from now, until we dead and gone
we gon BE, some survivors, y heard me?
Beyonce, where you at? Uhh!
[Beyonce]
Now that you re outta 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 love 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: Destiny s Child]
I ma survivor (WHAT), I m not gon give up (WHAT)
I m not gon stop (WHAT), I m gon work harder (WHAT)
I ma survivor (WHAT), I m gonna make it (WHAT)
I will survive (WHAT), keep on survivin (WHAT)
[Chorus]
[Beyonce]
You thought I couldn t breathe without ya, I m inhaling
You thought I couldn t see without ya, 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
Thought it would be over by now, but it won t stop
Though that I would self-destruct, but I m still here
Even in my years to come, I m still gon be here!
[Chorus - 2X]
[Kelly]
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 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 momma tought me better than that!
[Chorus - 2X]
[Da Brat over end of Chorus]
Uhh, c mon, 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 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 to 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 that walk out of your life
You don t need em, don t be no heater
Long as I m 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, I ma stay alive
No need your game or style
They can t tame me cause I m wild, not ashamed of stayin down
Can the rain sit, and em things chromed out, spit
and in my game, no doubt, I ma get paid in a big way, survivor!
[Chorus - 4X]
