I was born three months too early The doctor gave me thirty days But I must've had my momma's will And God's 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' Your walking out and I'm not tryin' To change your mind 'cause I was born to be The baby girl without a chance A victim of the circumstance The one who oughta 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 Maybe 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 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 stops With gentle hands and a heart of a fighter I'm a survivor But I must've had my momma's will And God's amazing grace I'm a survivor
