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 survivors
  and we leavin this game like some survivors
  So from now, until we dead and gone
  we gon' BE, some survivors, y'heard me?
  Beyonce, where you at? Uhh!
  
  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
  
  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?)

  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
  You thought that I would fail without ya, but I'm on top
  You 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

  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!
