D-DU-UDU
 I was born  three months too  early
 The doctor  gave me thirty days
 But I must  have had  my mama's will
 And Gods  amazing grace
 I guess  I'll keep on livin'
 Even  if this loves to die  for
 'Cause your bags  are packed and I ain't cryin'
 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 circumstance
 The one  who ought a 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
 -  -  -  x2
 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 circumstance
 The one  who ought a 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
 -  -  -  x2
 I'm a survivor
 
 A single  mom who works two jobs
 Who loves  her kids and never stops
 With gentle  hands and a heart  of a fighter
 -  -  -  x2
 I'm a survivor
 But I must  have had my mamas  will
 And Gods  amazing grace
 (I'm a survivor)
