Survivor

Written by：Mary J. Blige/Davion Farris/Eric Dawkins/Elese Teyonie Russell/Brandon Hodge

I been laying here waiting for something

Realizing I'm waiting for nothing

Because I gotta get it get it

'Cause ain't no one doing it for me

I'm the only one telling my story

And I come such a long way

From really feeling like I'm gonna lose it

Now I'm helping somebody get through it

Yeah I feel pain but I use it

To break through the confusion

That has nothing to do with

Where I'm going 'cause I'm determined to win

There's no losing

No that can't be

Heart of a fighter so no you can't break me

Lock me out if you wanna

Already found the key

You can try but don't be surprised 'cause

I'm a survivor

No matter how low I go I'm gonna rise up

And I can't take the credit or glory to my provider

And I'm burning so bright you can't put out my fire

So there ain't nothing realer that can stop me I'm a survivor

They keep telling me Mary it's over

Had your run but girl look at the numbers

Maybe you should just quit it quit it

But I'm nearly finished the chapter

And they can't keep me from what I'm after

'Cause I come such a long way

And now I'm finally seeing me clearly

And I can work with the pain 'cause you build me

'Cause now I know how to use it

To break through the confusion

That's got nothing to do with

Where I'm going 'cause I'm determined to win

There's no losing

No that can't be

Heart of a fighter so no you can't break me

Lock me out if you wanna

Already found the key

You can try but don't be surprised 'cause

I'm a survivor

No matter how low I go I'm gonna rise up

And I can't take the credit or glory to my provider

And I'm burning so bright you can't put out my fire

So there ain't nothing realer that can stop me I'm a survivor

Oh I'm a survivor

I'm a survivor I'm a survivor oh

I'm on my way yeah yeah yeah yeah

Nothing's gonna stop me no no no no

I paved the way woah

For so many to break free

I'm a survivor I'm a survivor

No matter how hard I'ma still keep my light up

I'm a survivor I'm a survivor

No matter how hard I'ma shine even brighter

No that can't be

Heart of a fighter so no you can't break me

Lock me out if you wanna

Already found the key

You can try but don't be surprised 'cause

I'm a survivor

No matter how low I go I'm gonna rise up

I'm gonna rise up

I'm gonna rise up

And I can't take the credit or glory to my provider

And I'm burning so bright you can't put out my fire

So there ain't nothing realer that can stop me I'm a survivor

Yeah yeah yeah
