[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?
|
Beyonce, where you at? Uhh!
|
|
[Beyonce]
|
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]
|
|
[Beyonce]
|
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 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 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]
