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 im hot as the water like a preacher whos sinned
Im 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 im
too hard to brake
Ok i do make mistakes but im the realest from the fake
Thats why im the hardest to hate
Aaliyah 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 No1
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 ut 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, im rockin to the beat
[x2]
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
