Now that you`re out of 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`

Thought it would be over by now, but it won`t stop
