Survivor [Extended Remix]

[Intro: Da Brat]

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

With the beat-boom-boom-pat-pat like that, y'heard me?

Now 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 gonna be some survivors

Y'heard me? Beyonce where you at?

Uh!

[Verse 1: Beyoncé]

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 chillin'

You thought I wouldn't sell without you, sold 9 million

[Hook: 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?)

[Verse 2: Beyoncé]

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 lastin'

You thought that I would die without you, but I'm livin'

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

[Hook: 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?)

[Verse 3: Kelly Rowland]

I'm wishing 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

('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

[Hook: Destiny's Child]

[Verse 4: Da Brat]

Uhh, c'mon, 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 to shine, And pull out the pump, protect mine

Survive in the game, Hate on me cuz you lame

They don't ever see your face or say your name

No more pain for me, No more misery, cuz you history

Imma 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 mo, not even a condo

As long as I know how to love Imma 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 on things chromed out, spit

And in my game, no doubt, I'ma get paid in a big way, survivor!
