Mary J. Blige - Survivor lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Outro] Yeah, yeah, yeah
