Ricky Dillard - I Survived It lyrics

I didn't think I could make it Statistics said I should be dead by now Trouble and wars all around me The doctors surely had counted me out After all that I had to face You've been there and you turned it in every way I survived it I survived it I survived it Now I can go on I didn't think I could make it Statistics said I should be dead by now Trouble and wars all around me The doctors surely had counted me out After all that I had to face You've been there and you turned it in every way I survived it I survived it I survived it Now I can go on When something stands in my way I know I can make it I won't cease, I'll just praise my way through That's how I'll take it When something stands in my way I know I can make it I won't cease, I'll just praise my way through That's how I'll take it I survived it I survived it I survived it Now I can go on When something stands in my way I know I can make it I won't cease, I'll just praise my way through That's how I'll take it When something stands in my way I know I can make it I won't cease, I'll just praise my way through That's how I'll take it I survived it I survived it I survived it So come what may, I'll be okay I survived it I survived it I survived it So come what may, I'll be okay I survived it I survived it I survived it So come what may, I'll be okay I survived it I survived it I survived it So come what may, I'll be okay I survived it I survived it I survived it So come what may, I'll be okay I survived it I survived it I survived it So come what may, I'll be okay I survived it I survived it I survived it Now I can go on I survived the worst of times I survived when I didn't have a dime The Lord brought me through, can't you see? Now I can be what I want to be Doctor, lawyer, maybe even president Who [?] many African American By His grace I've come a long way That same grace helped me see another day Now [?] work truly But don't let nothing stop you from doing it Keep your faith and never ever cease to pray My God has always laid the way The road is rough and the going gets tough But that's alright, I had just about enough I ain't gonna ever ever give up Because I am a true survivor
