[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 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?
Beyoncé, where you at? Uhh!

[Beyoncé]
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 laugh 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'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)

[Beyoncé]
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
Thought that I would self-destruct, but I'm still here
Even in my years to come, I'm still gon' be here!

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)

[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, oh!
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 taught me better than that!

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)

[Da Brat over end of Chorus]
Uhh, c'mon, uhh
Now I done been through the storm and the rain
Climbed up the rough side and got tough at times
But I remain, if I got the stuff to shine
And pull out the pump, protect mine
Survive in the game, hate on me cause you lame
They'll never see your face or say your name
No more pain for me, no more misery, cause you history
I'mma hold on to what I got
Strive for more perfection, strap on protection
My own direction, born to be the best at what I do
I'mma make it through, stompin like a soldier in my big black boots
I keep on "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 heathen
Long as I'm still breathin', not leavin' for no reason
Seen 'em come and go, once rich, they now po'
No house no mo', not even a condo
As long as I know how to love, I'mma stay alive
Know your game or style
They can't tame me cause I'm wild, not ashamed to stand out
And rain sit, and dem things chromed out, spit
And my game, no doubt, I'mma get paid in a big way, survivor!

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)

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)
