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

You 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 chilling
You thought I wouldn't sell without you
Sold 9 million

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

I will survive

Thought I couldn't breathe without you
I'm inhaling
You thought I couldn't see without you
Perfect vision

You thought I couldn't last without you
But I'm lasting
You thought that I would die without you
But I'm living

Thought that I would fail without you
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 wishin' you the best
Pray that you are blessed
Bring much success, no stress
And lots of happiness

I'm not gon' blast you on the radio
I'm not gon' lie about you and your family
I'm not gon' hate on you in the magazines
I'm not gon' compromise my Christianity

You know I'm not gon' diss you on the Internet
'Cause my mama taught me better than that
