Hey yo Mary, I need you to vibe with me on this one.
Check it
As I grab my pad and pen and begin to talk from within
Oh god my eyes they water like a preacher whos 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 break.
Okay I do make mistakes but I'm the realest from the fake.
Thats why I'm the hardest to hate.
Aaliyah baby girl I've learned to love those why they're still awake sleep sleep
And prepare a place for those who are good in the projects and hood
gifted or misunderstood
I know Lisa Pac and Biggy and Jay and Pun are still number one
there will be more of us to come.
I am a leader, teacher, a guider, like a single parent provider
puttin back those hiphop dividers like a priest with a back slider.
I sin but I win
And anyone we've lost in life in 9/11 we'll be sure to see again
Mary J Blige
What you hear is not a test I'm rockin to the beat see me and my crew and my friends we're gonna try to fool the beat.
See I am Mary Blige and I'd like to say hello to the black to the white the red and the brown the purple and yellow
But first you gotta
But first you gotta
