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 coming in this game like some survivor’s
And we leaving 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? Uh!

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 chilling
You thought I wouldn’t sell without ya, sold nine million

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 surviving (what)

Wishing 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 taught me better than that!

I’ma survivor (what), I’m not gon’ give up (what)

Uh, c’mon, uh
Now that I been through the storm and the rain
Climbed up the ruff side it got tough at times
But I remain, if I got the stuff to shine
Pull out the pumps, 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
Strive for more perfection, strap on protection
My own direction, born to be the best at what I do
I’ma make it through, stomping like a soldier in my big black boots
I keep ’em “Jumping, Jumping” staying funky, funky for you
No matter who step in and walk out of your life
You don’t need ’em, don’t need no heathen
Long as I’m still breathing, not leaving for no reason
See them 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’ma stay alive
No need your game or style
They can’t tame me cause I’m wild, not ashamed to stand out
In the rain sit-
-in on things chromed out, spit-
-in my game, no doubt, I’ma get paid in a big way, survivor!
