Feel Inside lyrics - Mary J Blige (feat. Nas)

Let's get it

[Mary J. Blige:]

Turn the track up a little bit

We need to rock in here

Oh, oh, oh

I wanna make you happy

[Nas:]

I'm not at all happy or elated, this category ain't my favorite

It's my story, I'mma state it, you could love it or hate it

I'm just a misfit blessed with good dick and intelligence

Hood nigga holding no grudges on petty shit

I started, why are we cold-hearted, so guarded

Scared to get hurt, trying not to love the hardest

That's garbage, remember when we loved each other

Bathtub scrubbed each other, chillin', champagne spillin'

Uh, feelin' like the shit gon' last forever

Time went so fast, we had a blast together

Laughs we had, friends we spent time with

Now I be seeing your friends out, then I'm reminded

How we all used to gather up for the holidays

Now your friends all nervous to speak, they act afraid

I was your bestie, how it get to this

As I reminisce, takin' off my MJs in my empty crib

Mary

[Mary J. Blige:]

I wanna make you happy

But you just don't see it

I wanna be around, babe

But I'm so tired of competing

We say all the wrong things

'Til we make each other cry

What are we doing?

Will it ever get better?

My heart, my soul

I gave, it's yours

I can't get back

All the things that I lost

Boy, I love you

But you're pushing me away

I gave you everything that I got

Watched my feelings walk on by

Ever get sick of trying?

This is how I feel inside

I feel inside

This is how I feel, this is how I feel

Now I was hoping

We'd get through this together

You said you'd love me

Through all types of stormy weather

Wasn't it you who said

We'd be together for all time

But it keeps messing with my mind, oh oh

My heart, my soul

I gave, it's yours

I can't get back

All the things that I lost

I need you here near me

But I can't make you stay

I gave you everything that I got

Watched my feelings walk on by

Ever get sick of trying?

This is how I feel inside

I feel inside

This is how I feel, this is how I feel

I never thought that I would have this feeling

Do you think for once that you can truly mean it?

Wasting so much time disagreeing

See, I'm to the point where I don't know what I believe in

[Nas:]

If you don't want this, I don't want this, I do my morning crunches

Play my jazz, pray to the east, and watch the sunset

Uh, but yet I was blowin' you up the other night

Could tell your girl was telling you what to write back

Tell me why it's like that

[Mary J. Blige:]

So make up your mind, boy decide

We can't go on like this, this ain't right (it ain't right)

Feeling really bad, feeling kinda low

Think it's time to go, oh oh

I gave you everything that I got

Watched my feelings walk on by

Ever get sick of trying?

This is how I feel inside

I feel inside

This is how I feel, this is how I feel

[Nas (Mary J. Blige):]

Sir Nas, Mrs. Mary J. Blige

And this is her life

Yeah, this is her life

Yeah, yeah yeah

(This is how I feel, this is how I feel)

Yeah

Let me hear that

(Brook-Lynn, Brook-Lynn, Brook-Lynn, Brook-Lynn, Brook-Lynn)

Midnight Drive lyrics - Mary J Blige (feat. Brook Lynn)

[Mary J. Blige:]

Brook Lynn, yeah, uh-huh, uh-huh

Turn the lights down

[Mary J. Blige as Brook Lynn:]

Uh, need it in my life now

And when I say now I mean right now

Super duper clean, I need a wipe down

Caught me for a second

Now he tryin' make a wife now

Hype now workin' with them cameras

Fly chick, Louis bag, Louis bandannas

Got him goin' crazy 'cause the sex is bananas

He just wanna spoil me to watch me have a tantrum

Homegirls love me and we be ridin' Phantoms

Mad chicks hatin' 'cause I be writin' anthems

Plus, you know I'm loaded, just signed an expansion

Yeah, I'm goin' 'cause he's dark and he's handsome

[Mary J. Blige:]

When he calls me

When he calls and says "come over"

I'm there to give him all of me

If I'm twisted, if I'm sober

Ah yeah

Because his kisses (Hey)

Seem to start a chain reaction

You gotta see it to believe it

You gotta feel

And when you feel it, you know it's real

It's something different, something crazy happens

I'll come running when I hear my phone ring

And that's the only reason I'll be makin' this drive at midnight

Tryna get to my baby

Packed up my clothes and I'm leavin'

I'll be makin' this drive, this midnight drive

Gotta get to my baby, yeah

Gotta, gotta get to my baby

Yeah, yeah

Gotta get to my baby, yeah

When he tells me

When he tells me that he needs me

I'm there

We can fight all of the nights he held me

I love the way he kisses me deeply

Ah yeah

Because his kisses (Hey)

Seem to start a chain reaction

You gotta say it to believe it

You gotta feel

And when you feel you know it's real

It's something different, something crazy happens

I'll come running when I hear my phone ring

And that's the only reason I'll be makin' this drive at midnight

Tryna get to my baby

Packed up my clothes and I'm leavin'

I'll be makin' this drive, this midnight drive

Gotta get to my baby, yeah

And I can't wait to be inside your arms

I don't care how long it's gon' take, boy, yeah

Oh, I'm on this midnight drive

I'm rushing to get there and it's so worth it

Because his kisses (Hey)

Seem to start a chain reaction

You gotta see it to believe it

And when you feel it

You know you feel something real

It's something different, something crazy happens

Oh, I'll come coming when I hear my phone ring

And that's the only reason I'll be makin' this drive at midnight

Tryna get to my baby

Packed up my clothes and I'm leavin'

I'll be makin' this drive, this midnight drive

Gotta get to my baby, yeah

Gotta, gotta get to my baby

Yeah, ah yeah

Gotta get to my baby, yeah

La la la la la la la la

Gotta, gotta get to my baby

Da da da da da da da da da

Gotta get to my baby, yeah

La, la la la, la la la la la

Gotta get to my baby

Next Level lyrics - Mary J Blige (feat. Busta Rhymes)

[Busta Rhymes:]

I said baby girl, lighting up the room like the light's up

You excite a nigga 'til you got me feeling niced up

Everything about it feels amazing, spiced up

Hot and steamy like my mother cooked a little rice up

See that 20 karats, please get it priced up

I'm past that girlfriend shit baby, wifed up

Elevated feeling like we going a couple flights up

Next level, with a hope you ain't afraid of height, what

Skyscrapers take it higher, even got a helicopter on the roof

Waiting for a small fire and add flame to the spark

And let us ride up to heavens to the next level

Let me do my part

[Mary J. Blige (Busta Rhymes):]

It feels like your hands were designed to be on my body

(You best believe that, and I agree with you too)

Like I was made to be your girl, yeah

(And you already know)

That's why I won't give my time to just anybody

(You know I'm with you, baby)

'Cause my time's your time, my world's your world

So if it's cool with you

I'm a tell my girls go out tonight without me

Got thing's to do with you

Let's bring the party to the house tonight

'Cause tonight I'm ready yeah

I'd rather play with my baby

I think it's time that me and him go

To the next level

Uh, I'm gon' love him like crazy

I hope he's ready 'cause we gonna go to the next level

[Busta Rhymes (Mary J. Blige):]

Baby ain't nothing left to do but rock on

Want a G5 to the next level, hop on

(Let's go (yeah) to the next level)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, alright

I love it when we're in the bed and we cuddle

Or you riding out with me like we on a space shuttle

(Let's go (yeah) to the next level)

Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Mary J. Blige (Busta Rhymes):]

And I'm OK as long as I got your arms around me

(You know I love when I got my arms around you too)

I feel free to lose control

(Let it go baby)

And I was lost in love, so glad that you found me

'Cause your love's too good, too just, let go

So if it's cool with you

I'm a tell my girls go out tonight without me

Got thing's to do with you

Let's bring the party to the house tonight

'Cause tonight I'm ready yeah

I'd rather play with my baby

I think it's time that me and him go

To the next level

Uh, I'm gon' love him like crazy

I hope he's ready 'cause we gonna go, to the next level

[Busta Rhymes (Mary J. Blige):]

Baby ain't nothing left for you to do but rock on

Want a G5 to the next level, hop on

(Let's go (yeah) to the next level)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, alright

I love the way you really take my love muscle

And you ride it out with me like we on a space shuttle

(Let's go (yeah) to the next level)

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Everybody get to putting up your lighter now

Baby girl you see me shining much brighter now, yeah

Fulfilling all of your desires now

Give me a hug, open your arms a little wider now

Damn, you see the feeling we creating

Bottles up, let's make a toast and do a lot of celebrating

(Let's go to the next level)

Yeah, yeah, yeah alright

Ain't Nobody lyrics - Mary J Blige

Captured effortlessly

That's the way it was

It happened so naturally

I did not know it was love

The next thing I felt was you

Holdin' me close

What was I gonna do?

I let myself go

And now we're flyin' through the stars

I hope this night will last forever

I've been waitin' for you

It's been so long

I knew just what I would do

When I heard your song

It filled my heart with your bliss

Gave me freedom

You knew I could not resist

I needed someone

And now we're flyin' through the stars

I hope this night will last forever

Ain't nobody

Loves me better

Makes me happy

Makes me feel this way

Ain't nobody

Loves me better, than you

I wait for night time to come

And bring you to me

Can't believe I'm the one

I was so lonely

I feel like no one could feel

I must be dreamin'

I want this dream to be real

I need this feelin'

I make my wish upon a star

And hope this night will last forever

Ain't nobody

Loves me better

Makes me happy

Makes me feel this way

Ain't nobody

Loves me better

Ain't nobody

Loves me better, no

And first you put your arms around me

Then you put your charms around me

I can't resist this sweet surrender

Oh! My nights are warm and tender

We stare into each other's eyes

And what we see is no surprise

Got a feelin' most with treasure

And a love so deep we cannot measure

Ain't nobody

Loves me better

Makes me happy

Makes me feel this way

Ain't nobody

Loves me better

Ain't nobody

Loves me better

Ain't nobody

Loves me better

Makes me happy

Makes me feel this way

Ain't nobody

Loves me better

Ain't nobody

Loves me better

Makes me happy

25/8 lyrics - Mary J Blige

25/8

I can love you with my eyes closed

I see your heart through a blindfold

I ain't never ever met another better

So my baby ain't no way that I'ma let go

From the North to the South Pole

On the East or the West Coast

Every area code, all over the globe

Ain't no way on the planet you can go that I won't

From sun up to sun down

I'll always be around

Every minute of every hour

Still it ain't enough time

'Cause I got days and days of love for you, boy

And I don't wanna have to rush

But 24/7 ain't enough, no

'Cause I got so much love for you, boy

I need another hour and a day

So I can love you 25/8, 25/8

You ain't gotta worry about me, no

Ain't no questioning my loyalty

You've been there for me even when nobody

Cared enough to check and see if I was breathing

See, don't nobody really know me (know me)

You and me, we got history

So I give you a part for loving me, boy

Put your hand in my hand, I'll lead the way out

From sun up to sun down

I'll always be around

Every minute of every hour

Still it ain't enough time

'Cause I got days and days of love, for you, boy

And I don't wanna have to rush

But 24/7 ain't enough, oh

'Cause I got so much love for you, boy

I need another hour and a day

So I can love you 25/8

Ain't nobody give me love, give me love like I need

See, I love the way you make me smile

When things ain't going right

You know how to hold me tight

And make the pain go away, oh yeah

Every day baby, every night baby (Every night)

On the weekday, on any day

On everyday, I'm alive baby

I'ma love you, help me sing it out

Every day baby, every night baby

On the weekday, on any day

On every day, I'm alive baby

I'ma love you, help me sing it out

Days and days and days of love, for you, boy

And I don't wanna have to rush

But 24/7 ain't enough

'Cause I got so much love for you boy

I need another hour and a day

So I can love you 25/8

I need days and days, I need days and days of love

I need days and days, I need days and days of love

Don't Mind lyrics - Mary J Blige

Baby I love you

(Love you, love you)

When I leave

Do you think about me?

When you're gone

I can't wait 'til you get home, home, home

You were wrong

So was I

So what are we gonna do?

So tonight

I'mma try

Whatever you wanna do

It's up to you

And that's why I

Don't mind

Saying I

Love you

And that's why I

Don't mind

Saying I

Love you

And that's why I

Don't mind

Saying I

Love you

And that's why I

Don't mind

Saying I

Love you

They have tried, yeah

To get what yours and what's mine

(They can't have what's mine, they can't have what's mine)

But it would take a lifetime

To get between you and I

They were right

Love is blind

I can't see nothin' but you

So tonight

I'mma try whatever you wanna do

It's up to you, baby

And that's why I

Don't mind

Saying I

Love you

And that's why I

Don't mind

Saying I

Love you

And that's why I

Don't mind

Saying I

Love you

And that's why I

Don't mind

Saying I

Love you

We might fight, sometimes we disagree

You're not right, but that's alright with me

Love it when you're calling out my name

Baby, I'mma do the same

I ain't scared to let you know

I would never let you go

You're the only one I need

Baby, come to me

And that's why I

Don't mind

Saying I

Love you

And that's why I

Don't mind

Saying I

Love you

And that's why I

Don't mind

Saying I

Love you

And that's why I

Don't mind

Saying I

Love you

Saying I love you

Is giving you strength to

Ready my heart

But I'm trusting you now too

No Condition lyrics - Mary J Blige

Can't even hide it, it's written on my face

And I don't have any more time or energy to waste

So I'm waving my white flag

Sad it has to be like that

It ain't working out, baby, in another life or space

Oh I, baby, I gave you, ooh

Everything that I could give you

So I made my decision

Loving you's been a mission

Now I'm in no condition

To love you (No more)

I'm in no condition

Oh yeah, yeah, oh

Said I'm waving my white flag

Sad it has to be like that

Barely any happy days

We always seem to have drama (Too much drama)

And it's really weighing heavy on me, baby

Both of us acting crazy

I hate it when we fight

Middle of the night

Always seems to remind me

Of how much it hurts

To know it's getting worse

My faith in us is slowly dying

Oh I, baby, I gave you, ooh oh

Everything that I could give you

So I made my decision

Loving you's been a mission

Now I'm in no condition

To love you

No, I'm in no condition

Hey, whoa

Hey, whoa

Hey (I'm in no condition to love)

Whoa (I'm in no condition to love)

Hey (I'm in no condition to love)

Whoa (no condition), damn

How did you go from being my best friend

To me barely even wanting your affection?

I never would've thought (Hey)

That I would be some wannabe, oh no

Hold me down (Hey)

Hold me down (Oh)

Baby, hold me down

Even though it's sad to say it's over now

I can't love you under these conditions

So I made my decision

Loving you's been a mission

(Loving you, loving you's been a mission)

I'm in no condition

To love you

I'm in no condition

Hey (I'm in no condition to love, no)

Whoa (I'm in no condition to love, no)

Hey (I'm in no condition to love you)

Whoa (I'm in no condition to love, no)

Hey (I'm in no condition to love, no)

Whoa (I'm in no condition to love, no)

Hey (I'm in no condition to love you)

Whoa (I'm in no condition to love, no)

I'm in no condition to love (No condition, baby)

I'm in no condition to love, no

I'm in no condition to love you (Hey)

No

Mr. Wrong lyrics - Mary J Blige (feat. Drake)

[Drake:]

Don't it seem like

Like I'm always there when it matters

But missing most of the other time

A terrible pattern

The rewards I see from working

Made me an addict

There's way more people that want it

Than people that have it

I don't get it, I would hate to think I tricked 'em

They fall victim to my system

Guess I sure know how to pick em

And I'm always her regret

Yeah, I'm always her regret

And I always make it harder on whoever's coming next

It goes up and down, it's just up and down

She's crying now but she'll laugh again

'Cause we on the rise and she here with us

And expensive shit, just keeps happening

She loves it, she stares at me like who does this

And we hold hands while I pray that she's not the type to hold grudges

I'm wrong

[Mary J Blige:]

Bad boys ain't no good

Good boys ain't no fun

Lord knows that I should

Run off with the right one

Me and Mr. Wrong get along so good (So good)

Even though he breaks my heart so bad (So bad)

We got a special thing going on

Me and Mr. Wrong (Mr. Wrong)

Even if I try, no, I never could

Give him up 'cause his love's like that

Ain't no way that I'm moving on

I love my Mr. Wrong

Hung up off your good

You call and I run

My fam' is screaming at me don't do it

"Don't do it, Mary!"

I guess they never had none

Me and Mr. Wrong get along so good (So good)

Even though he breaks my heart so bad (So bad)

We got a special thing going on (Going on)

Me and Mr. Wrong (Mr. Wrong)

Even if I try, no, I never could

Give him up 'cause his love's like that

Ain't no way that I'm moving on

I love my Mr. Wrong

When he put that loving on me, I can't think of nothing

That'll make me walk out

I'm holding on

I love my Mr. Wrong

He be kissing and touching on me

I can't help but love him

I must be out my mind

For going so strong

I love my Mr. Wrong

Mr. Wrong

Me and Mr. Wrong get along so good (So good)

Even though he breaks my heart so bad (So bad)

We got a special thing going on(Going on)

Me and Mr. Wrong (Mr. Wrong)

Even if I try, no, I never could (I never could)

Give him up 'cause his love's like that

Ain't no way that I'm moving on

I love my Mr. Wrong

Mr. Wrong

Why lyrics - Mary J Blige (feat. Rick Ross)

[Rick Ross:]

With the ghetto in my rear view, you are my every tomorrow

The world is ours... Mary J. Blige

[Mary J. Blige:]

I've been logging in my bed, crying 'til my eyes are red

We both said that things will change

But it's still the same shade of gray

I get mad you walk away

When it all just start to fade

I know you're fed up so am I

But we just can't say goodbye

Boy, you know I love you

But I just can't go on no more

Feelin' this way

You got me sayin' why, why, why?

Can't we get it right? (Just can't get it right)

Just can't get it right (Can we get it right?)

Don't know why, why, why?

Can't we get it right

No matter how hard we try

[Rick Ross:]

I got her looking at me sideways

Live every night like it's a Friday

My conversations are so monumental

Licking on her ear, I'm whispering a couple riddles

She fell in love with my technique

I made her call me boss when in the bedsheets

We both coming from the same place

All in her both coming at the same place

Still on my dope boy swag

Top down on my Cam'ron, Oh boy swag

Played the hand we were dealt from the beginning, baby

You the dealer, cut the deck, while we winning baby

[Mary J. Blige:]

You got me sayin' why, why, why?

Can't we get it right? (Just can't get it right)

Just can't get it right (Get it right)

Don't know why, why, why?

Can't we get it right (Just can't get it right)

No matter how hard we try

Why can't we turn love around

We build it up to break it down

If you knew the way I feel

You would know that this love is real

But live in Heaven, go to hell then

Go right back, across the lesson

Tired of stressin', get the message

I can't live in this depression no more

Boy, you know I love you

But I just can't go on (no more) feeling like this no more

You got me sayin' why, why, why?

Can't we get it right? Just can't get it right

Just can't get it right. Get it right

Don't know why, why, why?

Can't we get it right (Just can't get it right)

No matter how hard we try

[Mary J. Blige {Rick Ross}:]

Back on my own again (Back on my own, back on my own)

I don't want this to end (I don't want it to end)

But baby I need (I need, I need) a friend to show me some more (to show me some more)

And I think it should be you

{I love this part right here, look where we came from, Mary}

I just want you to show me, to show me some love yeah

[Rick Ross:]

Characteristics of a charismatic nigga

20 million on a villa, what's illa

We livin', lil boys gotta work at that

Gettin' cash, so I snatch my girl a Birkin bag

Blowin kisses out the drop top, that nigga got guop

Stay in ya house when the block hot

Makin love that will not stop

Bed sheets to the countertop

Diamonds my baby down to rock

Hold your blessings up baby, with the presents of greatness

It's the queen lifetime, Mary J

Love A Woman lyrics - Mary J Blige (feat. Beyoncé)

So you think you know how to love a woman?

Well, I think it's still some things you need to know

So you think you know how to love a woman?

Well, I feel it's still some things you need to know, (things you need to know)

[Mary J. Blige (Beyoncé):]

A woman, she needs more than material things

And a woman needs so much more that what a man can say

(A woman, needs you to make love to her, she needs more than sex

A real woman needs a real man that don't talk about it

Be about it

Put that work, and still shows his woman real romance)

So you think you know how to love a woman?

Well, I think it's still some things you need to know

So you think you know how to love a woman?

Well, I feel it's still some things you need to know, (things you need to know)

[Beyoncé (Mary J. Blige):]

A woman, she likes to talk and work it out

And a woman likes for you to watch her back

Protect her crown

(A woman don't only want your make-up sex

She wants your respect

And a real woman never wanna walk into a room

See another woman knowing information

She don't even know about her man)

So you think you know how to love a woman?

Well, I think it's still some things you need to know

So you think you know how to love a woman?

Well, I feel it's still some things you need to know, (things you need to know)

Make your way home at a decent hour every night

(Pick up your phone

Just to say you're still in love from time to time

Remind her that she's still beautiful in your eyes

And ride with your woman

Make her feel that you're always on her side

When she cries, ask her what she's feeling

Let her know you sympathize)

[Beyoncé and Mary J. Blige:]

Gotta swallow your pride

Got some making up to do, gotta make it right

Kiss her real slow and get down and blow her mind

Gotta take you time

I said kiss her real slow and get down and blow her mind

Say it one more time, say it one more time

Kiss her real slow and get down and blow her mind

Gotta take your time

Don't want a minute man

We wanna have fun until she finish man

If that's asking to much

You'll never know how to really

Love a woman

So you think you know how to love a woman?

Well, I think it's still some things you need to know

So you think you know how to love a woman?

Well, I feel it's still some things you need to know, (things you need to know)

[Mary J. Blige:]

Oh

You think you know how to love a woman?

Oh no...no

Irreversible lyrics - Mary J Blige

I'm gon' love you anyway

I'm gon' love you anyway

I'm gon' love you anyway

Look how the tables turn

You're at a loss for words

Just let it go

It's been too long for us to let it burn

I know you're mad right now

But we're gonna talk this out

Better or worse, that's what we said

So there's no walking out

We don't always see eye to eye

I can be wrong, you can be right

Let's call it a night

'Cause it ain't worth the fight

Whatever it's gonna take, we gon' try

I've got your heart, and you've got mine

So there's no saying goodbye

No matter how we work it out, work it out, work it out

'Cause love is irreversible, 'versible, 'versible

No matter how hard we try, there just ain't no rewind

We can't go back in time

'Cause love is irreversible, 'versible, 'versible

I get emotional

Sometimes you treat me cold

But love's still here, won't disappear

Can't let it take control

We may just lose our way when we communicate

Can't nothing come between you and me

We're a forever thing, yeah

We don't always see eye to eye

Oh, I got your heart, and you've got mine

So there's no saying goodbye

No matter how we work it out, work it out, work it out

'Cause love is irreversible, 'versible, 'versible

No matter how hard we try, there just ain't no rewind

We can't go back in time (Can't go back in time)

'Cause love is irreversible, 'versible, 'versible

I'm gon' love you anyway (anyway)

Anyway babe (anyway), I'm gon love you, yea(anyway)

I'm gon' love you anytime (anyway), any day (anyway)

So let's try to make it right

No matter how we work it out, work it out, work it out

This love is irreversible, 'versible, 'versible

No matter how hard we try, there just ain't no rewind

We can't go back in time (We can't go back in time)

'Cause love is irreversible, 'versible, 'versible

Oh oh oh

Work it out, work it out, work it out

(I'm gon' love you anyway)

I'm gon' love you anyway, baby baby

'Versible, 'versible, versible

(I'm gon' love you anyway)

Baby, yeah

(I'm gon' love you anyway)

Irreversible, 'versible

Empty Prayers lyrics - Mary J Blige

I try my best to keep you here

But it's hard to hold a shadow

You said goodbye but I couldn't hear

Too busy praying for a miracle

And you left me on my knees

You just walked out the door

You didn't even have the decency to intervene while I was begging God for you to love me

I prayed about us every night

Boy, I know you had to hear me

You could've stopped me then and told the truth

But instead you put a pillow over your head

And you left me on my knees

You just walked out the door, babe

You didn't even have the decency to intervene while I was begging God for you to love me

You should've told me it was useless, that I was praying empty prayers

But you hopped in your car, pulled out your keys

While you were leaving, I was begging God for you to love me

And I know that He had something better to do

Than to sit and listen to a broken-hearted fool

Could've been saving the world from a tragedy

But instead He was listening to me

I was asking, begging for a sign

To bring comfort to this lonely heart of mine

But apparently you're not what I need

I guess you walking out was Him answering

You left me on my knees

You just walked out the door

You didn't even have the decency to intervene while I was begging God for you to love me

I try my best to keep you here

But it's hard to hold a shadow

Need Someone lyrics - Mary J Blige

From where you stand, it's no way to change it

No way to make it make sense

And it's lonely there, there in the spotlight

Well honey, don't I understand?

But you

You need someone to love you

You need someone to hold you tonight

Someone to love you, someone to love you

Someone to love you, someone to love you

When you look at me, try hard to hide it

Try hard to keep it all in

Well, I found you out, discovered your secrets

Well honey, it ain't a sin!

But you

You need someone to love you

You need someone to hold you tonight

Someone to love you, someone to love you

Someone to love you, someone to love you

Oh, yeah

It doesn't have to be me

Who

But you

You need someone to love you

You need someone to tell you everything is alright

Someone to love you, someone to love you

Someone to love you

The Living Proof lyrics - Mary J Blige

(from "The Help" soundtrack)

It's gonna be a long long journey

It's gonna be an uphill climb

It's gonna be a tough fight

There's gonna be some lonely nights

But I'm ready to carry on

I'm so glad the worst is over

('Cause it almost took me out)

I can start living now

Ooh, I feel like I can do anything

And finally I'm not afraid to breathe

Anything you say to me

And everything you do

You can't deny the truth

'Cause I'm the living proof

So many don't survive

They just don't make it through

But look at me, oh

I'm the living proof

Oh, yes I am

Thinkin' 'bout life's been painful

(Yes it was)

Took awhile to learn how to smile

So now I'm gonna talk to my people, oh oh

About the storm, oh

About the storm, oh

So glad the worst is over

('Cause it's all beneath me now)

I can start flying now, oh ho

My best days are right in front of me

Yet I'm almost there

'Cause now I'm free, oh

Anything you say to me

And everything you do

You can't deny the truth

'Cause I'm the living proof

So many don't survive

They just don't make it through

But look at me, oh

I'm the living proof

I know where I'm going, hey

'Cause I know where I've been, oh oh

I got a few stars that's showin', hey

I'ma stay strong, keep going

That's the way that I'll win

Anything you say to me

And everything you do

(Everything you do)

You can't deny the truth

'Cause I'm the living proof

So many don't survive

They just don't make it through

But look at me, yeah yeah

I'm the living proof

Nothing 'bout my life's been easy, no

But nothing's gonna keep me down, no, down, no

'Cause I know a lot more today

Than I knew yesterday

So I'm ready to carry on

Oh Lordy, mm

Miss Me With That lyrics - Mary J Blige

I heard them all

All them lies

Lost count about around a thousand times

But here it comes, another lie

Whoa oh whoa

You lost your phone

It slipped your mind

Promised the last time was the last time

Already know what you're gon' say

So save it, don't waste your breath

Miss me with that, I'm sick of your act

The only part of you I wanna see is your back

Miss me with that, save it for the next one

Spare me the headache 'cause I just got over one

You better ask somebody about me

Boy, you keep on telling lies, you'll be lying without me

I know just what your ass gon' say, so save it (Yeah yeah)

Miss me with that

Are you hearing me?

Look in my eyes

I ain't got it in me anymore to fight, no

I'm over this, this waste of time

Whoa oh whoa oh

Your car broke down

You're working late

Or maybe today was just an ungodly day

Already know what you gon' say, so save it

Don't waste your breath

Miss me with that, I'm sick of your act

The only part of you I wanna see is your back

Miss me with that, save it for the next one

Spare me the headache 'cause I just got over one

You better ask somebody about me

Boy, you keep on telling lies, you'll be lying without me

I know just what your ass gon' say, so save it (Yeah yeah)

Miss me with that

I bet you think that you've been getting over on me

But I'm shaking my head like Eve, damn what you believe

You ain't foolin' me

Don't know why but I still love you, wanna trust you

But I can't

So whatever you're about to say, boy, miss me with that

Miss me with that, I'm sick of your act

The only part of you I wanna see is your back

(Only part I wanna see is your back)

Miss me with that, save it for the next one

Spare me the headache 'cause I just got over one

(Just got over one)

You better ask somebody about me

Boy, you keep on telling lies, you'll be lying without me

I know just what your ass gon' say, so save it (Yeah yeah)

Miss me with that

Miss me with your lies, miss me with your lies

This is my goodbye (This is my goodbye)

Miss me

Miss me with your lies, miss me with your lies

This is my goodbye

Miss me

Miss me with your lies, miss me with your lies

This is my goodbye

Miss me

Miss me with your lies, miss me with your lies

This is my goodbye

Miss me

Miss me with your lies, miss me with your lies

This is my goodbye

Miss me with your lies, miss me with your lies

This is my goodbye

Someone To Love Me (Naked) lyrics - Mary J Blige (feat. Diddy, Lil Wayne)

[Puff Daddy & (Mary J. Blige):]

(It's a shame that y'all put me in such a box... Check it!)

Ayo Mary, I want you to talk to 'em like you're supposed to

Come on

[Mary J. Blige:]

Looking for someone to love me

I'm-I'm-I'm-I'm looking for someone to love me

Yeah-yeah-yeah

I'm no angel, there's so much I can take

Calm down, patience, don't lose your temper, hold on, wait

I've got issues just like you, sometimes I get so confused

I'm strong but I can break

I be praying so hard to get through the day

Bad thoughts in my mind I can't shake

Having nightmares in the day can you relate?

Please somebody calmly wake me

I can't let this cold world take me, I was looking

[Diddy:]

My drama, my karma

My love, my life, dear momma

The wars I've fought, scars that I've garnered

The hustle, I got that honest from my father

Mix me with violence, blend me with peace

Combine me with hate and I can't face defeat (nope)

I did it all in a week

Still incomplete as I stand on my feet

It take a lot to still dance to the beat

Skin more cold and callous than concrete

I love swimming but there's just one ski

In a rich man's cheap hotel with bed sheets

Uh ah, you know what I'm looking for

Looking for someone to love me

I'm-I'm-I'm-I'm looking for someone to love me

Yeah-yeah-yeah

[Lil Wayne:]

It's my life, my life, word to Mary

Niggas can't fuck with me, Virgin Mary

Go ahead make my day, dirty Harry

Weezy, fuck the world, pop the cherry

Everybody pushing but I don't fall back

And everybody looking but blind to the fact

The clock on the wall say it's time for some action

Now you can take that to the bank and cash in

I'm feeling myself, fuck if they feeling me

Can't spell them without me, it's them or me

Yesterday was a memory

Looking in the mirror at my enemy

But today I'm

Looking for someone to love me

I'm-I'm-I'm-I'm looking for someone to love me

Yeah-yeah-yeah

[Mary J Blige:]

My rise, my falls, enemies wanna see me crawl

My ups, my downs, y'all know I've been around

But sometimes it bothers me when I hear people say a non truth

Am I sane, am I crazy, pick one there all the same

In this world we're living in

I'ma make mistakes, I'm only human

I was looking for someone to love me

I'm-I'm-I'm-I'm looking for someone to love me

Yeah-yeah-yeah

Get It Right lyrics - Mary J Blige

You can search the galaxy

But you'll never find another me

And I'm cool on your attitude

You'll be trying prove you don't need me in your life

But you'd better wake up and starting giving me what I deserve

You need to be loving me like money

I want you stuck like bees to honey

I need you addicted to this good love

That I'm giving don't be fronting

You need to hold on and don't let go

I wanna feel you take control

You don't wanna wake up one morning

To see you lost your heart and soul

You better get it right

Boy it's time for you to get it right

You're 'bout to make me walk up out your life

You can swim the ocean wide

But you won't discover love like mine

I'ma need you to understand if you gonna be my man

Then you gotta show that you wanna be here

You better start acting like you know

Ooh

You need to be loving me like money

I want you stuck like bees to honey

I need you addicted to this good love

That I'm giving don't be fronting

You need to hold on and don't let go

I wanna feel you take control

You don't wanna wake up one morning

To see you lost your heart and soul

You better get it right

Boy it's time for you to get it right

You're 'bout to make me walk up out your life

[Taraji P. Henson:]

Had me playing with my head inception

Talking 'bout he loving me but I ain't feeling it

You's a bad joke yeah a crowd of smoke

So I'ma fall back in the rear coach gold

I gave him everything that he needed

Oh but now his phone number's been deleted

You couldn't get this right

Booking the next train up out of yo life

Ya better get it right

You need to be loving me like money

I want you stuck like bees to honey

I need you addicted to this good love

That I'm giving don't be fronting

You need to hold on and don't let go

I wanna feel you take control

You don't wanna wake up one morning

To see you lost your heart and soul

You better get it right

Boy it's time for you to get it right (out of sight)

You're 'bout to make me walk up out your life

One Life lyrics - Mary J Blige (feat. U2)

Is it getting better

Or do you feel the same?

Will it make it easier on you now?

You got someone to blame

You say one love, one life (one life)

It's one need in the night

One love (one love), get to share it

Leaves you, darling, if you don't care for it

Mary

Did I disappoint you?

Or leave a bad taste in your mouth?

You act like you never had love

And you want me to go without

Well, it's too late tonight

To drag the past out into the light

We're one, but we're not the same

We get to carry each other

Carry each other

One

Have you come here for forgiveness?

Have you come to raise the dead?

Have you come here to play Jesus?

To the lepers in your head

Well, did I ask too much, more than a lot?

You gave me nothing, now it's all I got

We're one, but we're not the same

Think we had each other

Think we do it again

Love is a temple

Love is a higher love

Love is a temple

Love is a higher love

You asked me to enter but then you make me crawl

And I can't keep holding on to what you've got

'Cause all you've got has hurt

One love

One love

One life

You got to do what you should

One life with each other

Sisters and my brothers

We're one, but we're not the same

We get to carry each other

Carry each other

One

One

One

One

One

One

One love

One life

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

Give it to you bring it right back

First, it was all love

Hands up super star love (Stars up)

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

(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

I feel you

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

What you bringing to the potluck? You're invited

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

I ain't never had nothin' like this

What you bringing to the potluck? You're invited

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

With a lil' love on it, What you put a rub on it?

I can't get enough

I can't get enough (Uh)

First, it was all love (First, it was love)

Hands up super star love (Hands up superstar love)

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

(You can get it how you want)

But then you took it took it all, love

All love

Turn it up louder (Turn the music up)

Sing along get the crowd up (Oh, get the crowd up)

But then you took it all, love (Took it all, love, come on)

Then forgot all about us but it's all love

I feel you

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 (Oh)

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 real cruel)

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

I feel you (I feel you)

Sounds good in my ear

When I hear it like that

(Sounds so good)

I feel you

I say I look good to the mirror

And it says it right back (Oh)

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

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

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

To see you happy be a blessin'

Guessin' no more stressin'

Yes me and you was destined (Uh)
