MJB Da MVP - Alternate Version
Yeah, let's take 'em back
Mhm
'91 I stepped in this game
After "What's the 411?" things ain't been the same
And I can't complain
But with all this fame comes a whole lot of pain
But I'm so glad to be here
And my music's still sincere
Let's get back to the story
All of this pain and glory
And '94 was my life
And my life wasn't right
So I reached out to you
And told you what I been through
Hate it or love it, the underdog's on top
And I'm gon' shine, homie, until my heart stops
Go 'head envy me, I'm the soul hip-hop queen
And I ain't goin' nowhere, but you already know me
Hate it or love it, the underdog's on top
And I'm gon' shine, homie, until my heart stops
Go 'head envy me, I'm the soul hip-hop queen
And I ain't goin' nowhere, but you already know me
Then I came with "Share My World"
But at that point I was just a foolish girl
Trying to find my way
Then I dropped the "Mary" album
And people were saying that
It's just not gonna work
And my feelings they did hurt
But my fans showed me so much love
And I owe it all to them
And I came with "No More Drama"
I remember that week
It was when Aaliyah died
I couldn't hardly sleep
Thought about it everyday
And it made me change my way
I'm a real woman now
Because of all of these days
Hate it or love it, the underdog's on top
And I'm gon' shine, homie, until my heart stops
Go 'head envy me, I'm the soul hip-hop queen
And I ain't goin' nowhere, but you already know me
Hate it or love it, the underdog's on top
And I'm gon' shine, homie, until my heart stops
Go 'head envy me, I'm the soul hip-hop queen
And I ain't goin' nowhere, but you already know me
You remind me of a real love (you don't have to worry)
Real love, all night long, I'm goin' down
Dododododah dododododah
Reminisce on the love we have
You are everything — love without a limit
What you gonna do without my life, my life, my life, my life?
Hate it or love it, the underdog's on top
And I'm gon' shine, homie, until my heart stops
Go 'head envy me, I'm the soul hip-hop queen
And I ain't goin' nowhere, but you already know me
Hate it or love it, the underdog's on top
And I'm gon' shine, homie, until my heart stops
Go 'head envy me, I'm the soul hip-hop queen
And I ain't goin' nowhere, but you already know me
Hate it or love it
I'm gon', I'm gon
I'm gon' shine
Go 'head envy me, I'm the soul hip-hop queen
And I ain't goin' nowhere, but you already know me
Right now I want to thank
Each and every person out there
that's ever done anything for Mary J. Blige
I wanna thank TV, radio, talk shows
Friends, family
But most of all, I want to thank my fans
For hanging in there with me during the bad times
And now you're here
To see me at a point in my life
where I can actually call myself a queen
For those of you that don't like it
This is what you could do
You could do this
You can hate it or love it!
Hate it or love it!
Hate it or love it!
(Hate)
Hate it or love it!
(Love it)
Hate it or love it!
(Hate it)
Hate it or love it!
Hate it or love it!
(Love it)
