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
