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
