Destiny's Child
Now that you are out of 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 laugh 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 9 million
Chorus:
I'm a survivor (What)
I'm not gonna give up (What)
I'm not gon' stop (What)
I'm gonna work harder (What)
I'm a survivor (What), I'm gonna make it (What)
I'm a survivor (What), keep on survivin' (What)
Thought I couldn't breath without ya, I'm inhalin'
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 that 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 gonna be here
Chorus
I'm wishin' you the best, pray that you are blessed
Much success, no stress, and lots of happiness
(I'm better than that)
I'm not gonna blast you on the radio
(I'm better than that)
I'm not gonna lie on you or yo family, yo
(I'm better than that)
I'm not gonna hate on you in the magazine
(I'm better than that)
I'm not gonna compromise my Christianity
(I'm better than that)
You know I'm not gonna diss you on the internet
('Cause my mama taught me better than that)
Chorus
After all of the darkness and sadness, soon comes happiness
If I surround myself with positive things, I'll gain posterity
Chorus (2 x's)
You make me wanna throw my pager out the window
Tell MCI to cut the phone calls
Break my lease so I can move
Cause you a bug a boo, a bug a boo
I wanna put your number on the call block
Have AOL make my e-mails stop
Cause you a bug a boo
You buggin what? You buggin who? You buggin me!
And don't you see it ain't cool
It's not hot that you be callin me
Stressin me pagin my beeper
You're just non-stop and its not hot
That you be leavin me messages
Every 10 minutes and then you stop by
When I first met you, you were cool
But it was game you had me fooled
Cause 20 minutes after I gave you my number
You already had my mailbox full
So what you bought a pair of shoes
What now I guess you think I owe you
You don't have to call as much as you do
I'll give em back to be through with you
And so what my momma likes you
What now I guess you think I will do
Even if the pope he said he likes you too
I don't really care cause you're a bug a boo
You make me wanna throw my pager out the window
Tell MCI to cut the phone calls
Break my lease so I can move
Cause you a bug a boo, a bug a boo
I wanna put your number on the call block
Have AOL make my e-mails stop
Cause you a bug a boo
You buggin what? You buggin who? You buggin me!
And don't you see it ain't cool
It's not hot that when I'm blockin your phone number
You call me from over your best friend's house
And it's not hot that I can't even go out with my girlfriends
Without you trackin me down
You need to chill out with that mess
Cause you cant keep havin me stressed
Cause everytime my phone rings it seems to be you
And I'm prayin that it is someone else
So what you bought a pair of shoes
What now I guess you think I owe you
You don't have to call as much as you do
I'll give em back to be through with you
And so what my momma likes you
What now I guess you think I will do
Even if the pope he said he likes you too
I don't really care cause you're a bug a boo
You make me wanna throw my pager out the window
Tell MCI to cut the phone calls
Break my lease so I can move
Cause you a bug a boo, a bug a boo
I wanna put your number on the call block
Have AOL make my e-mails stop
Cause you a bug a boo
You buggin what? You buggin who? You buggin me!
And don't you see it ain't cool
When you call me on the phone you're buggin me
When you follow me around you're buggin me
Everything you do be buggin me
You buggin me, you buggin me
When you show up at my door you buggin me
When you open up your mouth you buggin me
Everytime I see your face you're buggin me
You're buggin me you're buggin me
You make me wanna throw my pager out the window
Tell MCI to cut the phone calls
Break my lease so I can move
Cause you a bug a boo, a bug a boo
I wanna put your number on the call block
Have AOL make my e-mails stop
Cause you a bug a boo
You buggin what? You buggin who? You buggin me!
And don't you see it ain't cool
At first we started out real cool
Taking me places I ain't never been
But now, you're getting comfortable
Ain't doing those things you did no more
You're solely making me pay for things
Your money should be handling
And now you ask to use my car
Drive it all day and don't fill up the tank
And you have the audacity
To even come and step to me
Ask to hold some money from me
Until you get your check next week
You triflin', good for nothing type of brother
Silly me, why haven't I found another
A baller, when times get hard
I need someone to help me out
Instead of a scrub like you
Who don't know what a man's about
Chorus: Can you pay my bills?
Can you pay my telephone bills?
Can you pay my automo bills?
If you did then maybe we could chill
I don't think you do
So, you and me are through
Can you pay my bills?
Can you pay my telephone bills?
Can you pay my automo bills?
If you did then maybe we could chill
I don't think you do
So, you and me are through
Now you've been maxing out my cards
Givin' me bad credit, buyin' gifts with my own name
Haven't paid the first bill
But your steady heading to the mall
Goin' on shopping sprees
Perpetrating to your friends that you be ballin'
And then you use my cell phone
Calling whoever you thinks at home
And then when the bill comes
All the sudden you be acting dumb
Don't know where none of these calls come from
When your mama's number's here more than once
You triflin', good for nothing type of brother
Silly me, why haven't I found another
A baller, when times get hard
I need someone to help me out
Instead of a scrub like you
Who don't know what a man's about
Chorus
Ladies leave yo man at home
The club is full of ballas and they pockets full grown
And all you fellas leave yo girl with her friends
Cause its 11:30 and the club is jumpin' jumpin'
Boys say you got a girl?

But the party ain't gon stop so lets make it hot hot
Last week and you stayed at home alone and lonely
Couldn't find yo man he was chillin' with his homies
This week and your goin' out if he

And your outfit and your fittin' the shoes

You're gonna find the brothas rollin' in the Lexus, trucks and Hummers

But the party ain't gon stop so lets make it hot hot
Ladies leave yo man at home
The club is full of ballas and they pockets full grown
And all you fellas leave yo girl with her friends

But the party ain't gon stop so lets make it hot hot
Call your boys cause tonight you're not gon stay at home
So tell your girl she ain't coming tonight you're goin' solo
Cut her off cause she talks the noise you know you've
Got the right to get your party on so get your hair cut
And your car washed too, lookin' like a star, your Armani suit
You need to look your best cause you're turnin' heads tonight
You're gonna find a sexy chica that's gon dance all night if you wanna
Boys say you got a girl?
Yes true you got a man
But the party ain't gon stop so lets make it hot hot
Ladies leave yo man at home
The club is full of ballas and they pockets full grown
And all you fellas leave yo girl with her friends
