Eh yo Mary I need you to vibe
wit me on this one uh
Uh
Check it
As I grab my pad and pen and begin to talk from within
Oh God I'm hot as the water
Like a preacher who's sinned
I'm only human but
The world has put me on a platform
since the day I was born
To only wait for my downfall
but like a brick wall I'm too hard to brake
Ok I do make mistakes
But I'm the realest from the fake
that's why I'm the hardest to hate
I live baby girl I've learned to love those while ther still awake
Sleep Sleep
And prepare a place for those who are good in the projects and hood
Give to those who are misunderstood
I know like Lisa
Pac and Biggie and Jay and Pun are still No.1
There will be more of us to come
I am a leader a teacher I gotta
Like a single parent provider
Put in back those hip hop dividers
Like a preist with a back slider
I've sinned but I win
And anyone we've lost in life from 9-11
We'll be sure to see again
What you hear is not a test
I'm rockin to the beat
What you hear is not a test
I'm rockin to the beat
See me and my crew and my friends were gonna try to move our feet
See I am Mary Blige and I'll like to say hello
To the black to the white the red and the brown the purple and yellow
First you gotta first you gotta
