Ashanti – Bonafide Survivor lyrics

[Intro]
Uh Uh Uh, Uh Uh
Yeah,yeah,yeah (Aye)

[Verse 1]
You can try to kick me when I'm down
It won't break me
Hey you can love me when I'm all tight
It won't gonna make me
You can say what you want to
Cause I'm still here
I won't give you satisfaction to see my tears
I dealt a lot of chicks like the way I deal
Came a lot of chicks to deal with the shit I deal

Pre
So I'm a face another day with the smile on my face
And say: hey I will be okay
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
Cause I will be stronger and wiser
I'm a fighter
Say I'm a bonafide survivor
I'm a bonafide survivor
Cause I will be stronger and wiser
I'm a fighter
So I'm a bonafide survivor
Cause I'm a bonafide survivor

[Verse 2]
You can try to take away my drive
But I will stay driven
Hey you can criticize my lifestyle
But I'm still living
See when your heart is in doubt
And your questions don't fade
Did you ever think that it was gonna be this way?
That everything that could possibly go wrong didn't
And how come I ain't another life than I put in

Pre
Got to find your illustrate just to face another day
And say hey, I will be okay, okay
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
Cause I will be stronger and wiser
I'm a fighter
Say I'm a bonafide survivor
I'm a bonafide survivor
Cause I will be stronger and wiser
I'm a fighter
So I'm a bonafide survivor
Cause I'm a bonafide survivor

[Bridge]
Sometimes it gets so out of hand and you feel like giving up
(Don't give up)
Cause one problem don't open another
And if it ain't gonna happen
You can push a little further
We all get through pain
And pain ain't to blame
It's only a short sign of weakness
Leave it
Understand, what won't kill you makes you stronger
And you're still breathing

[Chorus]
Cause I will be stronger and wiser
I'm a fighter
Say I'm a bonafide survivor
I'm a bonafide survivor
Cause I will be stronger and wiser
I'm a fighter
Say I'm a bonafide survivor
I'm a bonafide survivor
Cause I will be stronger and wiser
I'm a fighter
Say I'm a bonafide survivor
I'm a bonafide survivor
Cause I will be stronger and wiser
I'm a fighter
Say I'm a bonafide survivor
I'm a bonafide survivor
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
