(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? Beyoncé, where you at? Uh (Beyoncé:) 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

(Beyoncé:) 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

(Da Brat:) Uh, c'mon, uh 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
