Bounce Back 2.0 lyrics - Mary J Blige

Oh, oh, yeah, yeah

Life is real

Life is really, really real yeah

I'm always ready for the bounce back

I ain't stressing, I'm just feeling what I'm feeling

I'mma always be around, I don't doubt that

Every time it hurts, love gon' heal it

'Cause I got the strength to keep building

And you know I'll always bounce back

Never turn back

Love is like that

Ladies let me tell you something

We come too far to lose

We'll win this battle

We suffer hard for love

Look what we're made of

Beautiful scars on us

This life is what we make it

Won't change a thing

Ain't worried about it no

What I been through, yeah

All the suffering and fighting

But still I pull through, yeah

Still we rise and we fall every time

Life is really, really real yeah

I'm always ready for the bounce back (I'm ready)

I ain't stressing, I'm just feeling what I'm feeling (oh)

And you know I'll always bounce back (always)

Never turn back (yeah, yeah)

Love is like that (yeah)

We be so foolish (so foolish)

If we just give it up (give it up)

No, we're not perfect (no, no, no, no)

Because we've all mess up (um)

Look what we're made of

We see these flaws through love

And each time we get further

Won't change a thing

Ain't worried about it no

What I've been through, yeah

All the suffering and fighting

But still I pull through, yeah

Still we rise and we fall every time

Life is really, really real yeah (really, really, real)

Never turn back (always)

Life is like that (always)

Always yeah

Can't Be Life lyrics - Mary J Blige

(from "Body Cam" soundtrack)

I got more than any one woman should, I'm blessed

Have been given more than I needed, I don't deserve it

'Cause when I'm lying in a coffin and I can't take one thing

All that really matters to be living don't mean a thing, yeah

There's got to be more to life than this

This can't be life, no, this can't be real

There's got to be more to life than this

This can't be life, no, this can't be real

I've been torn down like a worn-down crumbling building

But I'm up now, well I'm up now and I'm still living

I was chained to the pain and I couldn't feel nothing

I was waiting on somebody to come fill me with something, yeah

There's got to be more to life than this

This can't be life, no, this can't be real

There's got to be more to life than this

This can't be life, no, this can't be real

Think I reached the ceiling in my current state of being

Oh, but I'm tryna go higher, I'm tryna go higher

Think I reached the ceiling in my current state of being

But I'm tryna go higher, I'm tryna go higher

There's got to be more to life than this

This can't be life, no, this can't be real

There's got to be more to life than this

This can't be life, no, this can't be real

There's got to be more to life than this

This can't be life, no, this can't be real

There's got to be more to life than this

This can't be life, no, this can't be real

Hourglass lyrics - Mary J Blige

(from "Mary J. Blige's My Life" soundtrack)

If you could see your seconds in an hourglass

If you could see the minutes of a life you had

Would you run and would you try

To win it back?

If you can see a future in a photograph

If you could see the light that you wish you had

Could you be strong and carry on

With what you have?

Why we wasting life?

Should be chasing life

If we're breathing for the very last time

I don't wanna hold onto goodbyes

If there's no tomorrow

You better make it last tonight

If we're standing when the walls come down

If we make it to the final round

If we're here tomorrow

We'll live it better than we did last night

If you were on your knees, would you take a stand?

If you were in deep, would you take my hand?

Could you lie and lose your pride

To live again?

If you could wake up and see through yourself

Could you find a room to blame someone else?

Could you change in just a day

And cry for help?

Why we wasting life?

Should be chasing life

If we're breathing for the very last time

I don't wanna hold onto goodbyes

If there's no tomorrow

You better make it last tonight

If we're standing when the walls come down

If we make it to the final round

If we're here tomorrow

We'll live it better than we did last night

'Cause you're not alone, no, you're not alone

We've all been wasting time

No, it's not too late for us to make it right

But we still have today

If we're breathing for the very last time

I don't wanna hold onto goodbyes

If there's no tomorrow

You better make it last tonight

If we're standing when the walls come down

If we make it to the final round

If we're here tomorrow

We'll live it better than we did last night

It's All Love lyrics - Anderson .Paak, Justin Timberlake, Mary J. Blige & George Clinton

(from "Trolls World Tour" soundtrack)

(Oh, oh, oh)

(Yeah)

Started off a team

Ballin' till we get the ring

We wanna compete

But it's the weekend

We should link and party

Till I need some ice on my knees

Chillin' with my niece, cousins, aunties

Come on everybody

What you bringin' to the pot luck? I'm excited

Everybody got a spot, love, you're invited

Hate is just lost love

So they hidin'

Never know try it

You just might like it

First, it was all love

Hands up super star love

That you can have it, you can have it all, love

But then you took it, took it all, love

All love

Turn it up louder

Sing along, get the crowd up

But then you took it all, love

Then forgot all about us but it's all love

(Oh, but it's all love)

Congratulations

You finally turned from the wrong station

Thank you for y'alls patience

I'll try not to make this a long statement

Momma said I shouldn't swear

So I'ma just put this on Dayton's

Nobody's born hatin'

Nobody's born fake

Why we fightin' over

Something we can all make?

That's stingy love

I'm just givin' love, ain't no givin' up

If you alive, only thing to do is live it up

I know you like that (Like that)

I know you really, really like that (Like that)

I know you not gonna do me like that

First, it was all love

Hands up super star love (Stars up)

(And you can get it how you want)

But then you took it took it all, love

All love

Turn it up louder (Turn it up louder)

Sing along get the crowd up (Get the crowd up, come on)

But then you took it all love

Then forgot all about us

But it's all love

Sounds good in my ear

When I hear it like that

I feel you

I say I look good to the mirror

And it says it right back

I feel you

A little love wouldn't kill you (A little love wouldn't kill you)

You really did me wrong it was real cruel (It was cruel)

(Yeah) Had a lot of love and I still do 'cause I feel you

Lemme get a lil' rice, put it on the side

With a lil' love on it (I need some love)

What you put a rub on it? I can't get enough

You really did me wrong it was real cruel

Had a lot of love and I still do 'cause I feel you

Know lyrics - Mary J Blige

(Lord knows, it just ain't fair)

Give me some volume, give me some volume

You know, when hear the word "queen"

You automatically think of a woman getting everything she wants

But it's not like that at all (At all, at all)

See, being a ruler means sacrifice (Sacrifice, sacrifice)

Most of the time, you get less than what you give (What you give)

So every woman and mother in the world is a queen

Because she sacrificed so much (So much, so much, so much)

Gets so lonely sometimes

Some times I gotta clear my mind

Can't stop walking on water

Feels like I'm dealing at the altar

Gets so heavy sometimes

Carrying this weight of mine

Looks like the seas are partin'

So I might as well start walkin'

Oh, Lord, Lord, Lord

They just don't know, know, know

How hard I had to go, go, go

To get through, to get through

They just don't know, know, know, know

Know, know, know

How many times I lost (How many times I lost)

Just so I could win (Ooh, yeah)

They just don't know, know, know, know

Oh, no, no

How many times I've died (How many times I've died)

Just to live again, oh, yeah

When life was coming at me quick, I had to tuck in my emotions (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

I know He watchin', God, I made it look good, I was chosen

Gone through hell to get to heaven, build a bridge and get over

My snap-back's real, still thick in these jeans

I ain't missing no meals

Oh, Lord, Lord, Lord

They just don't know, know, know

How hard I had to go, go, go

To get through, to get through

They just don't know, know, know, know (Know, know, know)

Know, know, know

How many times I've lost (How many times I've lost)

Just so I could win (Ooh yeah)

They just don't know, know, know, know

Oh, no, no

How many times I've died (No, they just don't know)

Just to live again (No, they just don't know)

They just don't know, know, know, know (Know, know, know)

Know, know, know

How many times I've lost (How many times I've lost)

Just so I could win (Ooh yeah)

They just don't know, know, know, know

Oh, no, no

How many times I've died (No, they just don't know)

Just to live again (No, they just don't know), yeah

Let No Man Put Asunder (Quan Funk Mix) lyrics - Mary J Blige

Somebody always walkin' out

Whether it be me or you

But before you go, let me lay this on you

See, they call me a Capricorn

And means that no man in the world can let go of this Capricorn

See, you know why?

'Cause I got somethin' for your mind, your body, your soul

Your intellect, whatever you choose

Check me out

I'm surprised to see your suitcase at the door

Remember the good times, don't you want some more?

It's not a perfect love, but I'll defend it

'Cause I believe that's what God intended now

We got love too good to throw away

It's not over between you and me

It's not over, don't wanna be free

What has been joined by God, by God

Let no man put asunder

Can't throw it away, can't throw it away

No no, no no

I can hear those words spoken as I stood

Making bonds through love, if times are bad or good

I'm convinced that what is meant to be will be

Even the stars declare that you belong to me

And we got love too good to throw away

It's not over between you and me

It's not over, don't wanna be free

And what has been joined by God, by God

Let no man put asunder

Can't throw it away

Can't throw it away, can't throw it away, no

Mm

It's not over between you and me

It's not over, don't wanna be free

It's not over between you and me

(It's not over)

It's not over, don't wanna be free

(I don't wanna be free)

It's not over between you and me

It's not over, don't wanna be free

It's not over between you and me

It's not over, don't wanna be free

Oh, oh

See, I just been tryin' to tell you that

(It's not over)

All that listenin' to your friends you doin'

They laughing at you right now

Yes, they are; yes, they are

(It's not over)

But you still wanna walk around

Why you wanna leave me right now?

All you wanna do is scream and shout

All night long, all night long

(It's not over)

But I still think it ain't over

'Cause you'll be calling back

(We got love)

We, we got love

(Too good to throw away, let no man put asunder)

(We got love)

All this good lovin'

(Too good to throw away, let no man put asunder)

Love Is All We Need (Trackmasters Remix) lyrics - Mary J Blige (feat. Foxy Brown & Nature)

[Foxy Brown:]

Trackmasters, Commisioner

You say you keep me laced in everything, baguettes his and her

Matchin' E-class, twin chincilla furs

Everything was real 'til he slipped and swerved

Swore the love was real then he bounced with hers

Kept me off speed, blessed me backwards, made my heart bleed

Killed me softly; he don't know how much it cost me

If the love is all we need, real queens will survive

Now peep the remix with Fox and J. Blige

Come on

[Mary J. Blige:]

I've got to let you know

That this is the only way (let 'em know)

Troubles far and near, but have no fear

'Cause love is always on the way

Oh, love

Love is all we need (It's all we need)

To make every little thing complete (So complete, love)

Love is all we need (It's all we need)

To make every little thing complete

If you don't know, then I'm telling you

It works with everything you do

Problems every day, but we'll find a way

'Cause love is going to save the day (Come on)

Love is all we need (It's all we need)

To make every little thing complete

(To make every little thing complete)

Love is all we need (It's all we need)

To make every little thing complete

Love is all we need (It's all we need)

To make every little thing complete

(Love is all, love is all, all we need)

Love is all we need (All we need)

To make every little thing complete

(Love is all we need)

Do you know what we really need?

Do you know that love is going to set us free? (Set us free)

Yeah, just you and me

Do you think we can live this way?

'Cause I know that love is going to save the day (Save the day)

In every way

[Nature:]

While 'em savage cats locked up

Beef with us a lot, who keep it hot

Spending cash meet chicks in secret spots

Peep the plot, cuz some will get rich some will change

Learning comes with the game

Being nature as in sun and rain

Numb in your brain, anesthesia style

Reefer clouds dictate my moves

Take aim before I squeeze around

Catch me flossin' on the remix now

Still ain't learn in 97 it's the firm that's how we get down

[Mary J. Blige:]

Love is all we need (It's all we need)

To make every little thing complete (Every little thing complete)

Love is all we need (It's all we need)

To make every little thing complete

(It's gonna make, gonna make everything complete)

Love is all we need to make things better

(Love is all we need, love is all we need)

It's the only way to live together

(It's the only way we can live)

Love is all we need to make things better

(Love is all we need to make everything complete)

It's the only way to live together

(It's the only way, the only way to live together)

Love is all we need (It's all we need)

To make every little thing complete (Make everything complete)

Love is all we need (All we need is love)

To make every little thing complete

Love is all we need

Mighty River lyrics - Mary J Blige

(from "Mudbound" soundtrack)

Life is a teacher, time is a healer

And I'm a believer like a river wild

Ego's a killer, greed is a monster

But love is stronger, stronger than them all

White flag in hand, I don't wanna fight

No lines in the sand, I'm on your side

Invisible, no colour life

It's time we put our, put our, put our differences aside

Time tells no lies

It keeps changing, and ticking, and moving, then passes by

But if you're lucky, it will be kind

Like a river flowing through time

(Like a river) let it wash you clean

(Mighty river) going up stream

(Like a river) cutting through right

(Mighty river) 'cause it never gives up

(Like a river) so full of life

(Mighty river) liquid like time

(Like a river) let it wash away

(Mighty river) the pain from yesterday

Love is the answer, hate is a cancer

Hope of forgiveness, it waters the soul

Our blood is red, we're not so different

'Cause underneath our skin we're identical

White flag in hand, not gonna fight

No lines in the sand, I'm on your side

Invisible, no colour life, oh

It's time we put our, oh, put our differences aside

We know wrong from right

Oh, time tells no lies

He keeps changing, and ticking, and moving, then passes by

But if you're lucky, it will be kind

Oh, like a river flowing through time, oh

(Like a river) let it wash you clean

(Mighty river) going up stream

(Like a river) cutting through right

(Mighty river) 'cause it never gives up

(Like a river) so full of life

(Mighty river) liquid like time

(Like a river) let it wash away

(Mighty river) the pain from yesterday

(Like a river) oh, oh, oh

(Mighty river) rain down on me

(Like a river) all it takes is time

(Mighty river) to heal this bloodline

(Like a river) better wash me clean

(Mighty river) get this dirt off me, yeah

(Like a river) oh, oh, oh

(Mighty river) let it wash the pain

Oh, oh, oh, yeah

(Like a river) oh, like a river

(Mighty river) mighty better river

(Like a river) oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

(Mighty river) let it wash away

(Like a river) oh, oh, oh

(Mighty river) oh, all the hurt and pain

(Like a river) oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

(Mighty river) oh, mighty river, mighty river

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

No More Trouble (Remix) lyrics - Mary J Blige (feat. Mobb Deep)

[Prodigy:]

First of all we the one and only

Infamous and Mary Blige

Coming straight ghetto poetry

And ain't nothing changed but the size of the money

I'm still that same 'g'

Can you say the same thing?

[Havoc:]

Must be blind to the fact Mary Queen on the wax

We the king on the streets

Ain't know where your heart is

Look inside and you'll find an entertainer

One of a kind

That's way ahead of her time

Take a look

[Mary J. Blige:]

I need to know

If you can get into my mind

Stimulate it

Give me good love all the time

Or are you just another man

That's after me for all my paper

Looking for a ride that's free

Deep inside I wish you'd see

That I'm just plain old Mary

Deep inside I wish you'd see

That I'm just plain old, plain old Mary

Now you see for seven years I've lived life openly

So it's hard to find someone who really knows me

So I say the things just so that you can know

That you can't be with me

If you're trying to chase my dough

If you take away the house

And you take away the clothes I wear

And you take away the diamonds

I'mma still be standing here

And if you take away the ice and the money

I will always be my nigga's favorite honey

And if you take away the car I drive

I'mma still be Mary Blige

Deep inside I wish you'd see

That I'm just plain old Mary

Deep inside I wish you'd see

That I'm just plain old, plain old Mary

[Prodigy:]

We'll separate the bullshit from the truth

Straight up, I ain't got time for new friends

I need paper we came up from the trenches

It was like pulling teeth without sedation

From the benches to the Bentley seats

Nigga we the M-O-B-B

What you ain't heard?

You can't see?

Ever since the cash they wanna hound P

Oh now you got L-O-V-E for me

[Havoc:]

Doing this for about a decade Mobb and Mary

Troopers in the game with a heavy load to carry

After all the trials and tribulations

Rumors we faced, the media invading our space

That's the price you gotta pay

Take away by size of whips

I'mma just plain old me at the end of the day

You can say what you choose

God gonna see me through

Criticize all you want 'til your face is blue

I know you see

[Mary J. Blige:]

If you take away the house

And you take away the clothes I wear

And you take away the diamonds

I'mma still be standing here

And if you take away the ice and the money

I will always be my nigga's favorite honey

And if you take away the car I drive

I'mma still be Mary Blige

Deep inside I wish you'd see

That I'm just plain old Mary

Deep inside I wish you'd see

That I'm just plain old, plain old Mary

Ooh! (G-Unit Remix) lyrics - Mary J Blige (feat. G-Unit)

[50 Cent:]

50 Cent

Mary J. Blige

G-Unit!

Baby, let's shine where we can shine

And ball where we can ball

Sharin' sometime together we not promised tomorrow

Know the difference between love and lust

Lustin' for your love f'na to feel your touch

Baby, I'm grown, I'm not goin' through a phase

Let's talk, the touch could be brains in both ways

Now could you tell me, what's a king without a queen

I'm usin' metaphors, what's me without you is what I mean

[Mary J. Blige:]

In the middle of the night, you hold me tight

Said it's alright, I'm yours forever

I'll do what you want, if you don't hurt me

I'll cook and clean, I'll make you happy

And

Ooh! (What you do to me)

Ooh! (You're my everything)

And ooh! (I'm so glad I found you)

Ooh! (I can't be without you)

Got a chill in my bones, and it's all for you, babe

Can't leave you alone, I'm so addicted

I can't sanctify, its the sweetest pain

So who's your girl?

You better say my name

[Lloyd Banks:]

It feels like I made it to heaven when I'm inside her

And we ain't gotta keep no secrets cuz she's a rider

She got a hold of her kid that's tighter than yo' pliers

And I got her hittin' notes that's higher than Mariah's

Maybe I'm jumpin' or gunnin', maybe I'm crazy

Maybe she's movin' too fast, maybe I'm lazy

She's kind'a different you know

Her body shape'll make you wanna take a trip in the snow

[Young Buck:]

My thug luv got her, the way I put it down

Got you callin' on my phone when ya man not around

Shorty I know what you like and we don't have fight

You ain't gotta be trippin', you know I'm comin' home tonight

Tried to warn ya bout a playa, but she ain't wanna listen

Till I got ya in the bedroom, huggin' and kissin'

I got what ya missin', put you in the position

Now you hollerin' and screamin', talkin' bout how I did ya

Come on, baby

[Mary J. Blige:]

Ooh! (What you do to me)

Ooh! (You're my everything)

And ooh! (I'm so glad I found you)

Ooh! (I can't be without you)

What you do to me (What you do to me)

Is just a mystery (Heyy heyy)

Its hard to believe, that you are here with me

Makin' all my dreams (Makin' all my dreams)

Have seen reality (Seen reality)

All my life I've tried

To find what's best for me

Ooh! (What you do to me)

Ooh! (You're my everything)

And ooh! (I'm so glad I found you)

Ooh! (I can't be without you)

Ooh! (What you do to me)

Ooh! (You're my everything)

And ooh! (I'm so glad I found you)

Ooh! (I can't be without you)

Overjoyed lyrics - Mary J Blige

(originally by Stevie Wonder)

Over time, I've been building my castle of love

Just for two, though you never knew you were my reason

I've gone much too far for you now to say

That I've got to throw my castle away

Over dreams, I have picked out a perfect come true

Though you never knew it was of you I've been dreaming

The sandman has come from too far away

For you to say come back some other day

And though you don't believe that they do

They do come true

For did my dreams come true when I looked at you

And maybe too if you would believe

You too might be

Overjoyed, over-loved, over me

Over hearts, I have painfully turned every stone

Just to find, I had found what I've searched to discover

I've come much too far for me now to find

The love that I sought can never be mine

And though you don't believe that they do

They do come true

For did my dreams come true when I looked at you

And maybe too if you would believe

You too might be

Overjoyed, over-loved, over me

And though the odds say improbable

What do they know?

For in romance

All true love needs is a chance

And maybe with a chance you will find

You too like I

Overjoyed, over-loved, over you, you

Over you

See What You've Done lyrics - Mary J Blige

(from "Belly Of The Beast" soundtrack)

Hmm, hmm, hmm-hmm

Ooh, ooh (Ooh, ooh)

Ooh, nah

No, oh whoa

No, oh whoa, oh-oh

(Hey DJ)

What's goin' on

When I gotta fight for a right that is rightfully mine?

What's goin' on

When the world can decide if a caged bird flies or ever gets a chance to grow?

Too many people are invisible

It's a problem, how can we ignore what's goin' on?

I got questions I need answers, it's been too long

Why I, I cry, I-I, oh why?

Do these tears keep runnin' dry?

But I just keep fightin'

'Cause it ain't over, 'til it's over

It ain't over 'til it's done

'Til these shackles are broken

It ain't over

'Cause some wounds never heal, do you see what you've done? (See what you've done)

'Cause some wounds never heal, do you see what you've done? (See what you've done)

'Cause some wounds never heal, do you see what you've done? (See what you've done)

What's goin' on?

We got strength but no power

And all we've ever wanted was what's ours (What's ours)

Then one day we wake up and everything has changed

Who can I blame? (Who? Who?)

Who's gonna carry the shame? (Who? Who?)

After all of this pain, I'll never be this same

Why I, I cry, I-I, oh why? (Why?)

But while I still got time (Time)

I'll just keep on fightin' (Fightin')

'Cause it ain't over (No it ain't over), 'til it's over ('Til it's over)

It ain't over 'til it's done (Oh 'til it's done)

'Til these shackles are broken (Ooh, ooh, ooh)

It ain't over (Ooh, yeah, yeah)

'Cause some wounds never heal, do you see what you've done? (See what you've done, oh, ooh, ooh)

'Cause some wounds never heal, do you see what you've done?(See what you've done, oh, oh)

'Cause some wounds never heal, do you see what you've done?

We won't lay down, we're survivors (We won't lay down)

All my scars are my reminders (My reminders)

We won't lay down, we're survivors (Oh-oh, oh, oh)

All my scars are my reminders

'Cause it ain't over ('Cause it ain't over)

('Cause it ain't over, 'cause it ain't over, 'cause it ain't over)

Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word lyrics - Mary J Blige (originally by Elton John)

What do I got to do to make you love me?

What do I got to do to make you care?

What do I got to do when lighting strikes me?

And to wake to find that you're not there?

What do I got to do to make you want me?

What do I got to do to be heard?

And what do I say when it's all over, babe?

And "sorry" seems to be the hardest word

It's sad, so sad

It's a sad situation

And it's getting more and more and more absurd

It's sad, so sad

Why can't we talk it over, babe?

Whoa, it seems to me

That "sorry" seems to be the hardest word

It's sad, so sad

It's a sad situation

And it's getting more and more and more absurd

Yes, it is

It's sad, so sad

Why can't we talk it over, babe?

Whoa, it seems to me

That "sorry" seems to be the hardest word

What do I got to do to make you love me?

What do I got to do to make you care? Yeah

And what do I do when lighting strikes me?

What do I got to do, what do I got to do

When "sorry" seems to be the hardest word?

Still Believe In Love lyrics - Mary J Blige (feat. Vado)

[Vado:]

What up ha

Uh

I still believe in it, fear not

No strings attached, tongues out with your shell tops

Like Run-DMC wore, was lovin' you before

The G4s, yacht parties out on Capri shores

Ain't from Maryland but I think we could be more of an item (Uh-huh)

Size right on my ices

Trust me, nothing like 'em (At all)

Was times I would F they minds before I pipe 'em (I know)

Make 'em feel like the love of my life before I psych 'em

[Mary J. Blige:]

Well it's a whole new day, a whole new wave

Ain't worried about nothing

Everything's looking up, yeah

Well I was going through a phase, stuck in old ways

Always thinkin' somethin'

Like I ain't never good enough, yeah

I been thinkin' of the time that I wasted

I been lookin' in all the wrong places for love

That really brought me down, yeah

I'm so sick of being sad or lonely

Until I can find the one I know I need

I'll never give up on me, no

I still believe in love, oh

Oh love

Shoo-bee-doo-bee-doo-doo

I still believe in love, huh-huh

Still believe in love

Huh-huh-huh

Still believe in love

I still believe in

Just 'cause you see me alone and I'm all on my own

It don't mean a thing

Just know I could find me somebody so easily, yeah

I can't lower my standards

I demand a guy to treat me like the queen that I be

In the middle of the night fantasize he only thinkin' 'bout me

I been thinkin' of the time that I wasted

I been lookin' in all the wrong places for love

That really brought me down, yeah

I'm so sick of being sad or lonely

Until I can find the one I know I need

I'll never give up on me, no

I still believe in love, oh

Oh love

Shoo-bee-doo-bee-doo-doo

Honey you're still the baddest

That OG status, elite savage

I pray for you

Them tough times made me made for you

Wish I was there to do them days with you

God bless you, you special

I first met you you was movin' with somethin'

But I could tell you was losin' with your uh

You wasn't used to that swag

Chanel bag, yeah you used to a ton

It goes back with men abusing the fun

I was one of 'em

Fresh from Essence

Harlem fly legend

Could tell he be flexin'

Pharrell LV dressin'

Collection

To see you happy be a blessin'

Guessin' no more stressin'

Yes me and you was destined (Uh)

Still believe the shit

Bad energy, negativity, leave that shit

I respect your following and your leadership

You the captain of my boat, you can lead the ship

Oh love

Shoo-bee-doo-bee-doo-doo (Yeah-oh)

I still believe in love, huh-huh (Said I still believe in love)

Still believe in love

Huh-huh-huh (Yeah, yeah)

Still believe in love

Only Love lyrics - Mary J Blige

I remember when I was lost

Down for the count, was done, yeah

No one around to pick me up

I was so over love

'Til you came right in

And you brought me home

I ain't never felt this feeling

Ooh, I'm in, yeah

It's crazy

The way you've got the beat of my heart racing

Only love (Only love!)

It will build you up

Break you down

Only love (Only love!)

I will sacrifice

For your heart I'll fight

All for love (Only love!)

Make your wrongs all right (Only love can get me this feeling)

'Cause I know you're mine (Only love can get me this healing)

Only love (Only love!)

Can we share one soul (Only love can get me this feeling)

Make me whole (Only love can get me this healing)

Only love (Only love!)

I found a home and I'm not alone

I fell in love with you, yeah

Took me a while but I'm looking up

'Cause I know you love me too

'Til you came right in

And you brought me home

I ain't never felt this feeling

Ooh, I'm in, yeah

It's crazy

The way you've got the beat of my heart racing

Only love (Only love!)

It will build you up

Break you down

Only love (Only love!)

I will sacrifice

For your heart I'll fight

All for love (Only love!)

Make your wrongs all right (Only love can get me this feeling)

'Cause I know you're mine (Only love can get me this healing)

Only love (Only love!)

Can we share one soul (Only love can get me this feeling)

You know it's true

Turns my problems all around (All around)

Pick me up right off the ground (Off the ground)

I'm so glad this love I found (I'm so glad)

All I need is you right now (All I need)

It's crazy

The way you've got the beat of my heart racing

Only love (Only love!)

It will build you up (It will build you up)

Break you down

Only, only love (Only love!)

Only love, only love

Only love, only lo, only, only, only, only, only, only, on

Thriving lyrics - Mary J Blige (feat. Nas)

[Mary J. Blige:]

Look what I did, I made history

They don't know what to do with me

Ain't lookin' back, keepin' it movin'

I know exactly how to do this

Keep smilin', make 'em wild out

Stay loud, don't dumb it down

Hold my crown up to the sky

Hold your crown up to the sky

Hey, time for us to go and get the money, y'all

Floodgates open, gonna take it all

I am a diamond 'cause of pressure

The bigger the trial, bigger the blessin'

No we're not just survivin', yeah we're thrivin' over here

All those sad songs don't break me, just gave me a record deal

Ooh, ooh

We're not just survivin', yeah we're thrivin' over here (Oh, oh)

You see, I'm on a mission (Yeah)

Ain't no baggage weighin' me down (No)

Had to get out my feelings (Ooh)

'Cause I'm tired of people seein' me drown

Smile, make 'em wild out

Stay loud, don't dumb it down

Hold my crown up to the sky (Oh)

Hold your crown up to the sky (Oh)

Hey, time for us to go and get the money, y'all (Yeah)

Floodgates open, gonna take it all (Take it all)

I am a diamond 'cause of pressure

The bigger the trial, bigger the blessin'

[Mary J. Blige & Nas:]

No we're not just survivin', yeah we're thrivin' over here (We're not just survivin')

All those sad songs don't break me, just gave me a record deal (Oh, unbreakable)

Ooh, ooh (Unfadeable, yeah)

We're not just survivin', yeah we're thrivin' over here (Let's go, uh Esco, uh, yeah, uh)

[Nas:]

We're here for a good time, not a long time

And no bad vibe is gon' spoil mine

No such thing as the right time or wrong time

We don't do small time, we do royal time

I picture myself here as a small guy

Switched up gears from Nasty Nas and Nasir like

Cassius Clay to Ali, the greatest of all time

Financial page, my name in New York Times

Incredible milestones forever

It's set-in-stone, MJB the letters

Everybody that try to violate, we beat 'em for God's sake

Never mind that I'm reachin' my prime the second time, that's great

In record time, stop the hate

And love your life, fix your crown up straight

I dodged bullets and jail time and kept drivin'

Stood tall through it all, keep thrivin'

[Mary J. Blige:]

No we're not just survivin', yeah we're thrivin' over here

(Yeah, we're thrivin' over here)

All those sad songs don't break me, just gave me a record deal

(All those sad songs, they didn't break me, no)

Ooh, ooh

We're not just survivin', yeah we're thrivin' over here (Oh, oh)

So whatever you want, go get it, go get it (Oh, so whatever)

I swear, whatever, it's yours, go get it, go get it (Oh, it's yours)

Joy and peace, hope for sure, go get it, go get it (Joy and peace, hopin', oh)

I swear, whatever, it's yours (It's yours), go get it (It's yours)

No we're not just survivin', yeah we're thrivin' over here

(Yeah, we're thrivin' over here)

All those sad songs don't break me, just gave me a record deal

(All those sad songs, they didn't break me, no)

Ooh, ooh

We're not just survivin', yeah we're thrivin' over here (Oh, oh)

When I Can't Do Better lyrics - Mary J Blige

(from "The Color Purple" soundtrack)

Don't hold your love over my head

Please don't use it against me

Don't be that way tonight

Don't be that way tonight

Don't touch me with self-righteous hands

Promise you won't judge me

Don't walk away tonight

Embrace me

Save me from myself

Don't you hate me

When I can't do better

Feel me

Heal me if you dare

It would kill me

To lose you forever, mm

When it gets dark and it just don't come easy

'Cause it's too hard and we're too far gone

Stay with me now, oh

Pray for me now

When I mean good

But the strength just ain't there to do good

Tell me we good

Talk to me now, when I can't do better

If I give you power to carry me

Don't you use that power just to bury me

It's been a long night

Fuck it, it's been a long life, mm

But the truth is, what I do with it is my biz 'til I'm through with it

And it's my bed so I lay in it 'cause I'm cool with it

So embrace me

Save me from myself

Don't you hate me

When I can't do better

Feel me

Heal me if you dare

It would kill me

To lose you forever, mm

And I need you to know

When it gets dark and it just don't come easy

'Cause it's too hard and we're too far gone

Stay with me now, oh-oh (With me now)

Pray for me now

When I mean good

But the strength just ain't there to be good

Tell me, we good?

Talk to me now, when I can't do better

When I can't do better

Ooh, baby, love me through it

We can do it, we can get through it

Oh, hey, hey, yeah

So embrace me, baby

Hold me, baby

When I can't do better

Ooh

Ooh-ooh

World's Gone Crazy lyrics - Mary J Blige

(from "The View" soundtrack)

Everybody's talking 'bout how everything is falling apart

Let them worry, I'm just waiting, waiting for the party to start

Come along with me

We can grab the keys

Leave what used to be

In the rear-view mirror

Leave it all behind

See what we can find

Let's go

World's gone crazy

I think there's, I think there's, I think there's

Only one thing to do

Go crazy

I think that, I think that, I think that

We should go crazy too

(Crazy)

We should go crazy too

(Crazy)

We should go, we should go, we should go

(Crazy)

Life is so crazy, life is so crazy

How 'bout a change of view

Everybody's talking 'bout how everything is coming undone

Think that means it's time, it's time for finding time for having some fun

Put your troubles down

Let some pressure out

You can scream and shout

If you wanna

'Cause we're going wild

Doing it in style

What else can we do

World's gone crazy

I think there's, I think there's, I think there's

Only one thing to do

Go crazy

I think that, I think that, I think that

We should go crazy too

(Crazy)

We should go crazy too

(Crazy)

We should go, we should go, we should go

(Crazy)

Life is so crazy, life is so crazy

How 'bout a change of view

Maybe it's all falling, falling apart

Maybe we just need the party to start, yeah

We could use it (Use it), so let's do it (Do it)

Let the music take us over

World's gone crazy (Oh)

Life's gone crazy (Let's get crazy, yeah)

World's gone crazy (World's gone crazy)

Let's get crazy

World's gone crazy (World's gone crazy)

Let's get crazy

Let's get crazy (World's gone crazy)

Let's get crazy

Let's get crazy (Let's get crazy)

Crazy, crazy

World's gone crazy

I think there's, I think there's, I think there's

Only one thing to do

Go crazy

I think that, I think that, I think that

We should go crazy too

(Crazy)

We should go crazy too

(Crazy)

Life is so, life is so, life is so

(Crazy)

Life is so crazy, life is so crazy

How 'bout a change of view

Your Child (Kiyamma Griffin Uptempo Mix) lyrics - Mary J Blige (feat. Ghostface Killah & Raekwon)

[Raekwon (Ghostface Killah):]

Yo word up, yo Ghost come here

Ooh, you in trouble

Yo Ghost man, you haven't found out

(What, what happened?)

I know she is frontin' (for real son)

Nah, nah man come on

She is on the block son (damn)

[Mary J. Blige:]

She said you couldn't deny it

Why did you try to hide it?

You buggin, it's just like you

Tell me what am I suppose to do?

Should have told me long time ago

Baby, I would not have walked out the door

You tried to deny your own flesh and blood

I couldn't believe my ears when she told me

You had a child and she was the girl

I thought I meant more to you

Shared thoughts with you, held hands with you

You loved only you, not me and not your child

Tell me why, is not worth your while

She said you couldn't deny it

Why did you try to hide it?

You buggin, it's just like you

Tell me what am I suppose to do?

Should have told me long time ago

Baby, I would not have walked out the door

You tried to deny your own flesh and blood

So many things you need to do

Like take care of your responsibilities

Stand tall and be a man, strong and understand

That the truth will set you free

No need for you to lie, to hurt on me

She said it and I believe it

She said you couldn't deny it

Why did you try to hide it?

You buggin, it's just like you

Tell me what am I suppose to do?

Should have told me long time ago

Baby, I would not have walked out the door

You tried to deny your own flesh and blood

What can I do, said it - I won't play with you...

You tried to deny your own flesh and blood...

[Ghostface Killah:]

It was the one night stand and the chick tracked me off

I was drunk and the stink-witch slit the condom off

We got seven years in, now boo now picture me

This Hollywood big-head bitch don't mean shit to me

Your eyes look sad and you are hurt boo, pardon

Self, put the drink down, Scotch is bad for your health

Why you slapped me in my sleep, with steamin

Hot grits in the bowl, fiendin to throw it at me

Chill! (Don't try to deny your own flesh and blood)

[Mary J. Blige:]

She said you couldn't deny it

Why did you try to hide it?

You buggin, it's just like you

Tell me what am I suppose to do?

Should have told me long time ago

Baby, I would not have walked out the door

You tried to deny your own flesh and blood

She said you couldn't deny it

Why did you try to hide it?

You buggin, it's just like you

Tell me what am I suppose to do?

Should have told me long time ago

Baby, I would not have walked out the door

You tried to deny your own flesh and blood
