VERSE
It took some time, but today I'm gonna say how I feel
I know that I'm gonna make it
(That's right)
It took some time, but today I know what I feel is real
So don't you try to break it

Look at you, what you do
It really can't be true
Look at me, wannabe
What do you see?

CHORUS
I'm a survivor
'Cause I don't play no games
Just ask my driver
And don't you call me names
I'm a survivor
'Cause I can hold my breath
Just like a diver diving beyond
A treasure of gold

VERSE
It took some time, but today I'm gonna play it real cool
I know that I'm gonna make it
(Hell yeah!)
It took some time, but today I know that I write the rules
So don't you try to fake it

Look at you, what you do
You really won't get far
Look at me, what you see
Is a star

CHORUS
I'm a survivor
'Cause I don't play no games
Just ask my driver
And don't you call me names
I'm a survivor
'Cause I can hold my breath
Just like a diver searching for
A treasure of gold

I'm a survivor
'Cause I don't play no games
Just ask my driver
But don't you call me names
I'm a survivor
'Cause I can hold my breath
Just like a diver diving beyond
A treasure of gold

BRIDGE
Now …
I will survive - okay
I'm gonna strive - say hey
I'm gonna make - my day
I will survive - okay
I know how to drive - say hey
And I'm gonna dive today - and I will survive …

Hey, hey - I will survive - hey, hey
I'm a survivor - I will survive
Hey, hey

CHORUS
I'm a survivor
'Cause I don't play no games
Just ask my driver
But don't you call me names
I'm a survivor
'Cause I can hold my breath
Just like a diver diving beyond
A treasure of gold

Ooh - na, na, na, na
I'm a survivor
Ooh - na, na, na, na
I'm a survivor
