[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?
Beyonc, where you at? Uhh!
[Beyonc]
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]
[Beyonc]
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 to you on your family,yo
I`m better than that! I`m not gon` hate on you in the magazines
I`m better than that! I`m not gon` comprimise 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
