Been spendin' most their lives livin' in the gangsta's paradise
Been spendin' most their lives livin' in the gangsta's paradise
Keep spendin' most our lives livin' in the gangsta's paradise
Keep spendin' most our lives livin' in the gangsta...
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, I'm not gon' give up
I'm not gon' stop (what), I'm gon' work harder
I'm a survivor, I'm gonna make it
I will survive (what), keep on survivin' (what)
I'm a survivor, I'm not gon' give up
I'm not gon' stop (what), I'm gon' work harder
I'm a survivor, I'm gonna make it
I will survive (what), keep on survivin' (what)
Thought I couldn't breathe without you, I'm inhaling
You thought I couldn't see without you perfect vision
You thought I couldn't last without you but I'm lastin'
You thought that I would die without yo but I'm livin'
Thought that I would fail without you but I'm on top
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
I'm a survivor, I'm not gon' give up
I'm not gon' stop (what), I'm gon' work harder
I'm a survivor, I'm gonna make it
I will survive (what), keep on survivin' (what)
I'm a survivor, I'm not gon' give up
I'm not gon' stop (what), I'm gon' work harder
I'm a survivor, I'm gonna make it
I will survive (what), keep on survivin' (what)

Tell me why are we so blind to see
That the ones we hurt are you and me?
