(verse 1)
I was born 3 months too early,
The doctor gave me 30 days,
But I must have had my mama's will,
And God's amazing grace,
I guess I'll keep on livin,
Even if this love's to die for,
Cuz your bags are packed,
And I ain't cryin,
Your walkin out and I'm not tryin,
To change your mind,
Cuz I was born to be,
The baby girl without a chance,
A victim of circumstance,
The one who oughta give up,
But she's just too hard headed,
A single mom, who works 2 jobs,
Who loves her kids and never stops,
With gentle hands,
And the heart of a fighter,
I'm a survivor,
(verse 2)
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 wanna be,
The baby girl without a chance,
A victim of circumstance,
The one who oughta give up,
But she's just too hard headed,
A single mom, who works 2 jobs,
Who loves her kids and never stops,
With gentle hands,
And the heart of a fighter,
I'm a survivor,
A single mom, who works 2 jobs,
Who loves her kids and never stops,
With gentle hands,
And the heart of a fighter,
I'm a survivor,
But I must have had my mama's will,
And God's amazing grace,
(I'm a survivor)
