I'm A Survivor

I was born three months too early

The doctor gave me 30 days

But I must have had my momma's will

And God's amazing grace

I guess I'll keep on living

Even if this love's to die for

'Cause your bags are packed and I ain't crying

And you're walking out

And I'm not trying to change your mind

'Cause I was born to be

The baby girl without a chance

A victim of the circumstance

The one who ought to give up

But she's just too hard-headed

A single mom who works two jobs

Who loves her kids and never stops

With gentle hands and a heart of a fighter

I'm a survivor

I don't believe in self-pity

It only brings you down

May be the queen of broken hearts

But I don't hide behind the crown

When the deck is stacked against me

I just play a different game

My roots are planted in the past

And though my life is changing fast

Who I am is who I want to be

The baby girl without a chance

A victim of the circumstance

The one who ought to give up

But she's just too hard-headed

A single mom who works two jobs

Who loves her kids and never stops

With gentle hands and a heart of a fighter

I'm a survivor

Oh, a single mom who works two jobs

Who loves her kids and never stop

With gentle hands and a heart of a fighter

I'm a survivor

But I must have had my mamma's will and God's amazing grace

I'm a survivor

I'm a survivor ooh-ooh-ooh
