Hey

Now that you're outta my life I'm so much better
You thought that I'd be weak without you
But I'm stronger
You thought that I'd be broke without you
But I'm richer
You thought that I'd be sad without you
I laugh harder
Thought I wouldn't grow without you
Now I'm wiser
Thought that I'd be helpless without you
But I'm smarter
You thought that I'd be stressed without you
But I'm chillin'
You thought I wouldn't sell without you
Sold nine million

Thought I couldn't breathe without you
I'm inhalin'
You thought I couldn't see without you
Perfect vision
You thought I couldn't last without you
But I'm lastin'
You thought that I would die without you
But I'm livin'
You thought that I would bail without you
But I'm on top
Thought it would be over by now
But it won't stop
Thought that I would self-destruct
But I'm still here
Even in my years to come
I'm still gon' be here
