You're All I Need/i'll Be There For You Lyrics - Mary J Blige

(with Method Man)

Chorus: Mary J. Blige

You're all, I need
To get by, ahhhhh
You're all, I need
To get by, ahhhhh

(Background sample: Notorious B.I.G.)
[Lie together, cry together, I swear to God I hope we fuckin' die together]

Shorty I'm there for you anytime you need me
For real girl, it's me in your world, believe me
Nuttin make a man feel better than a woman
Queen with a crown that be down for whatever
There are few things that's forever, my lady
We can make war or make babies
Back when I was nothin
You made a brother feel like he was somethin
That's why I'm with you to this day boo no frontin
Even when the skies were gray
You would rub me on my back and say "Baby it'll be okay"
Now that's real to a brother like me baby
Never ever give my booty away and keep it tight aight
And I'ma walk these dogs so we can live
In a phat-ass crib with thousands of kids
Word life you don't need a ring to be my wife
Just be there for me and I'ma make sure we
Be livin in the effin lap of luxury
I'm realizing that you didn't have to funk wit me
But you did, now I'm going all out kid
And I got mad love to give, you my nigga

(Chorus) 2X's

Mary J. Blige

Like sweet morning dew
I took one look at you
And it was plain to see
You were my destiny
With you I'll spend my time
I'll dedicate my life
I'll sacrifice for you
Dedicate my life for you

I got a love jonz for your body and your skin tone
Five minutes alone I'm already on the bone
Plus I love the fact you got a mind of your own
No need to shop around you got the good stuff at home
Even if I'm locked up North you in the world
Wrapped in three-fourths of cloth never showin your stuff off, boo
It be true me for you that's how it is
I be your Noah, you be my Wiz
I'm your Mister, you my Mrs. with hugs and kisses
Valentine cards and birthday wishes? Please
Be on another level of planning, Of understanding
The bond between man and woman, and child
The highest elevation, cuz we above
All that romance crap, just show your love

Mary J Blige - Your Child Lyrics

Your Child Lyrics - Mary J Blige

It's too bad, it's too bad
It's too bad, it's too bad, baby
But I gotta face reality
It's too bad, it's too bad
Too bad baby, yeah
But I gotta face reality

Today you had a visitor
Or should I say an old friend
But wait a minute
That's not where it ends, no
Is there something
That you wanna tell me, hmm
Cause I'm believing what your friends say
About your hidden secrecies

[1] - Your girlfriend
She wasn't disrespectful
In fact, she's a hundred percent sure
And how could I argue with her
Holding a baby with eyes like yours

[2] - She said it's your child
And it really messed me up
How could you deny
Your own flesh and blood
Gotta face reality
There can never be any more us
Won't deny it's hurting me
Yet so precious

She said she never wanted to hurt me
And could I understand, she's afraid and lost
She said a real woman wouldn't do this over the phone
And that you told her about me after the baby was born, Oh

[Repeat 1]
[Repeat 2]
[Repeat 2]

Hmm, Oh the baby looks just like you
How could you deny your own flesh and blood
Your own child
What kind of man are you?
Oh, Oh and

[Repeat 1]
[Repeat 2]
[Repeat 2]

You Know (New Mix) Lyrics - Mary J Blige

Know, when you know, you know, you kn-know
When you know, when you kn-kn-know kn-kn-know, right?
Know, when you know, you know, you kn-know, right?
You know what you want when you feel that you want it

Know, when you know, you know, you kn-know
When you know, when you kn-kn-know kn-kn-know, right?
Know, when you know, you know, you kn-know, right?
You know what you want when you feel that you want it

You can tell in your heart what it’s gonna be
When you feel the fire like when you're holding me
I took a chance when you sung and danced
Let me feel like plans could be made for us both to be

Lovers and friends ‘til the end, what it’s got us in
Never would’ve thought it was you that would choose me
Now I'm on a flight, ain’t afraid of heights
I can breathe right, exhale, ‘cause you did something to me

When you made me feel loved, really made me give up
When I didn't see much, when I felt your touch
What a man say once in the first 12 months
I ain’t heard in my life from the closest one

There's so much I knew, too good to be true
When it came so fast, what's a girl to do?
Never will I say when a man won't change
‘Cause you changed my life and I'm so damn happy baby

Know, when you know, you know, you kn-know
When you know, when you kn-kn-know kn-kn-know, right?
Know, when you know, you know, you kn-know, right?
You know what you want when you feel that you want it

Know, when you know, you know, you kn-know
When you know, when you kn-kn-know kn-kn-know, right?
Know, when you know, you know, you kn-know, right?
You know what you want when you feel that you want it

Every time enough is enough, you love me full time
So I know that it's me, that it's me that you're living for
A little hug and a kiss to show me you miss me
An’ all you really want to do is be here with me

Lovers and friends ‘til the end, what it’s got us in
Never would’ve thought it was you that would choose me
Now I'm on a flight, ain’t afraid of heights
I can breathe right, exhale, ‘cause you did something to me

You made me feel loved, really made me give up
When I didn't see much, when I felt your touch
What a man say once in the first 12 months
I ain’t heard in my life from the closest one

There's so much I knew, too good to be true
When it came so fast, what's a girl to do?
Never will I say when a man won't change
‘Cause you changed my life and I'm so damn happy baby

Know, when you know, you know, you kn-know
When you know, when you kn-kn-know kn-kn-know, right?
Know, when you know, you know, you kn-know, right?
You know what you want when you feel that you want it

Know, when you know, you know, you kn-know
When you know, when you kn-kn-know kn-kn-know, right?
Know, when you know, you know, you kn-know, right?
You know what you want when you feel that you want it

You know when you really know
You know in your heart that you fell in love
Let this feeling make you lose control
And just let go because you know when you know, you know
You know what you want when you feel that you want it
You know when you know

Know, when you know, you know, you kn-know
When you know, when you kn-kn-know kn-kn-know, right?
Know, when you know, you know, you kn-know, right?
You know what you want when you feel that you want it

Know, when you know, you know, you kn-know
When you know, when you kn-kn-know kn-kn-know, right?
Know, when you know, you know, you kn-know, right?
You know what you want when you feel that you want it

Know, when you know, you know, you kn-know
When you know, when you kn-kn-know kn-kn-know, right?
Know, when you know, you know, you kn-know, right?
You know what you want when you feel that you want it

Mary J Blige - You Don't Have To Worry Lyrics

You Don't Have To Worry Lyrics - Mary J Blige

(from Who's The Man? Sdtrk.)

Chorus:
You don't have to worry
I won't waste your time
I ain't satisfied
You don't have to worry
I won't waste your time
I ain't satisfied

Love is made,
Made of many things
And one of them is trust
But I can't trust you anymore
Things you say (say) how about the things you do?
They won't hurt me, no
They won't hurt me anymore

~chorus~

Love can make,
Make a stronger man
But you don't love me
(You don't love me)
And I don't feel you're always strong
The hearts you break
With your simple lies
And you better watch out baby
The next heart may be your own

I gave you
My love, my life, my time
Mine was your own
Though you stripped me to the bone
When I asked you how you feel,
If our love was the deal
You told me, we got it goin' on
Now I feel that love is gone

~chorus~

I'm alright,
I'm alright
I gave you
My love, my heart and soul
You took my love
Now you want to take control
When a good thing comes your way
Why can't you stay
I can't go on another day

~repeat chorus~

You know I'm gonna be alright
You know I'm gonna be alright
You know I'm gonna be alright
Why why why
You know I'm gonna be alright
You know I ain't satisfied
You know I'm gonna be alright

Work In Progress (Growing Pains) Lyrics - Mary J Blige

[Verse 1:]
Look in my eyes.
Tell me what you see
Do you see perfection in me?
To you, do I look complete?
Now take one more look pass my celebrity.
That's where you'll find the real me.
To you, do I still look complete?

[Pre-Chorus:]
I got every material thing I could ever need. (Hmmm)
I got the love from my fans that adore me. (Yeah)
And I'm grateful. (And I thank you so very much)
But my love for myself is lacking a little bit. (Just a little bit)
I can admit that I'm working on me. (Hmmm)
Staying faithful. (Staying faithful and what I'm tryna say is...)

[Chorus:]
Just like you sometimes I get down. (Just like you, I get down)
Sometimes I just wanna cry. (I just wanna cry)
Sometimes I get depressed.
And just like me, tryna be complete. (And just like me, tryna be complete, Ohh)
Just understand we're all just a work in progress.

[Verse 2:]
Life can be difficult.
No one promised that it would be...
(No one promised it would be sunshine all the time)
Sunshine all the time, easy.
Some pain is guaranteed.
But it ain't impossible.
You can find the joy, you see.
Took me a while but I did finally.
Open your eyes and you will see I'm just like you.

[Chorus:]
Just like you sometimes I get down. (Get down, Ohh)
Sometimes I just wanna cry. (Just wanna cry)
Sometimes I get depressed. (So depressed)
And just like me, tryna be complete. (Just like me, tryna be complete)
Just understand we're all just a work in progress. (We're all just, ohh)

[Bridge:]
Anybody knowing what it is to struggle. (Ohhh)
Never ever running in the face of trouble. (Oh yeah)
Say "I'm with you". (I'm with you)
"I feel you". (I feel you)
"I'm with you".
Just like you... (Sometimes I fall but I feel your pain. We're all the same)
(We're all the same, Ohhh I am just like you)

[Chorus:]
Just like you sometimes I get down.
Sometimes I just wanna cry.
Sometimes I get depressed. (So depressed)
And just like me, tryna be complete. (Oh just like, just like me) (Tryna be complete)
Just understand we're all just a work in progress. (Just understand we're all a work in progress)

Just like you sometimes I get down. (Yeah, yeah, yeah, Ohhh)
Sometimes I just wanna cry.
Sometimes I get depressed. (Can you hear me, can you feel me?)

Willing & Waiting Lyrics - Mary J Blige

Willing & waiting
But it's all up to you, Ohhh

The very first time I laid my eyes on you
I knew you were the one
Nothing can compare to all the times
We both had some fun
Sometimes I wanna cry
Cause boy I realize

So in love with you (so in love with you)

When we're alone never want the night to end
Cause you're the one I want
Sometimes I wanna cry
Cause boy I realize

Mary J Blige - Why Lyrics

Why Lyrics - Mary J Blige

[Mary J Blige]
I've been logging in my bed, running 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
But I just can't go on no more
Feelin this way

[Chorus]
You got me sayin' why, why, why?
Can't we get it right?
Just can't 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

[Chorus]
Got me sayin' why, why, why?
Can't we get it right?
Just can't get it right
Don't know why, why, why?
Can't we get it right
No matter how hard we try

[Mary J Blige]
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 feeling like this no more

[Chorus]
Got me sayin' why, why, why?
Can't we get it right?
Just can't get it right
Don't know why, why, why?
Can't we get it right
No matter how hard we try

Back on my own again...

Mary J Blige - Where I've Been Lyrics

Where I've Been Lyrics - Mary J Blige

[Spoken]
(To all the youth in the world that thinks nobody understands...
Well I understand that)

It's been hard for me
Trying strugglin' in the streets
But where I've been- Is no longer where I'm at
And where I'm going- Is not where I'm stoppin' at

It's been hard for me
Trying strugglin' in the streets
But where I've been- Is no longer where I'm at
And where I'm going- Is not where I'm stoppin' at

I grew up as a 70's baby
Brought up in poverty and sin
Makin' jokes at the crazy lady
Never cared how she was dealin' within
I knew all the words to
Micheal Jackson's album as a kid
And when it came to the biggest crusher
No he wasn't my man
At the age of seven years old
A strange thing happened to me
Before I even saw
My life had flashed before me
And I've got the mark to show
And it became a thang of beauty
So I gotta let you know
That my life, that my life

It's been hard for me
Trying strugglin' in the streets
But where I've been- Is no longer where I'm at
And where I'm going- Is not where I'm stoppin' at

It's been hard for me
Trying strugglin' in the streets
But where I've been- Is no longer where I'm at
And where I'm going- Is not where I'm stoppin' at

It's been hard for me
Trying strugglin' in the streets
But where I've been- Is no longer where I'm at
And where I'm going- Is not where I'm stoppin' at

Now mama's workin' hard all day
And she said this before she left home
Take care of your little brother
Have the place cleaned when I get home
All these priorities
Me and Tanya had to learn to be grown
But at the time for me
Being grown had seemed so lone
Woke up and I'm seventeen
With nothing going for me
Except the fact that I sing
You know it hurts so much
From all the sights that I've seen
From abusin' the hole in trust
You probably couldn't take some of things
That I've lived in my life

It's been hard for me
Trying strugglin' in the streets
But where I've been- Is no longer where I'm at
And where I'm going- Is not where I'm stoppin' at

It's been hard for me
Trying strugglin' in the streets
But where I've been- Is no longer where I'm at
And where I'm going- Is not where I'm stoppin' at

It's been hard for me
Trying strugglin' in the streets
But where I've been- Is no longer where I'm at
And where I'm going- Is not where I'm stoppin' at

It's hard and the street's a jungle (I'm telling you, I'm telling you)
Especially with your pretty colors (I'm telling you, I'm telling you)
So stay low and keep it humble (I'm telling you, I'm telling you)
Black women hold it down, keep your feet on the ground
Black men keep searching and you'll be found

It's been hard for me
Trying strugglin' in the streets
But where I've been- Is no longer where I'm at
And where I'm going- Is not where I'm stoppin' at

It's been hard for me
Trying strugglin' in the streets
But where I've been- Is no longer where I'm at
And where I'm going- Is not where I'm stoppin' at

[Rap by Eve]
In this world of continuous bullshit and full clips
Seems all we have to pass down is being useless
Broken homes, babies all alone, parent's never there
No food, no clothes to wear, anger everywhere
Ain't no values being taught, no productive thoughts
Jealousy rules the world, take shit at any cost
Gotta change our state of life, keep it worth livin'
God gave us voices to speak and that's our way of givin'
It's so much bigger than the furs and the jewels
What about encouragin' the youth to do well
What about givin' back- what about unifying
Shit we all black- get it together
Everybody's got their trials and tribulations
Learn to change the negative to positive situations
Don't hold the lessons that you learn
Pass it on and except the blessings that could earn

It's been hard for me
Trying strugglin' in the streets
But where I've been- Is no longer where I'm at
And where I'm going- Is not where I'm stoppin' at

Mary J Blige - Whenever I Say Your Name Lyrics

Whenever I Say Your Name Lyrics - Mary J Blige

Whenever I say your name, whenever I call to mind your face
Whatever bread's in my mouth, whatever the sweetest wine that I taste
Whenever your memory feeds my soul, whatever got broken becomes whole
Whenever I'm filled with doubts that we will be together

Wherever I lay me down, wherever I put my head to sleep
Whenever I hurt and cry, whenever I got to lie awake and weep
Whenever I kneel to pray, whenever I need to find a way
I'm calling out your name

Whenever those dark clouds hide the moon
Whenever this world has gotten so strange
I know that something's gonna change
Something's gonna change

Whenever I say your name, Whenever I say your name, I'm already praying, I'm already praying
I'm already filled with a joy that I can't explain
Wherever I lay me down, wherever I rest my weary head to sleep
Whenever I hurt and cry, whenever I got to lie awake and weep
Whenever I'm on the floor
Whatever it was that I believed before
Whenever I say your name, whenever I say it loud, I'm already praying

Whenever this world has got me down, whenever I shed a tear
Whenever the TV makes me mad, whenever I'm paralyzed with fear
Whenever those dark clouds fill the sky, whenever I lose the reason why
Whenever I'm filled with doubts that we will be together

Whenever the sun refuse to shine, whenever the skies are pouring rain
Whatever I lost I thought was mine whenever I close my eyes in pain
Whenever I kneel to pray, whenever I need to find a way
I'm calling out your name

Whenever this dark begins to fall
Whenever I'm vulnerable and small
Whenever I feel like I could die
Whenever I'm holding back the tears that I cry

Whenever I say your name, whenever I call to mind your face
I'm already praying
Whatever bread's in my mouth, whatever the sweetest wine that I taste
Wherever I lay me down, wherever I rest my weary head to sleep
Whenever I hurt and cry, whenever I'm forced to lie awake and have to weep
Whenever I'm on the floor
Whatever it was that I believed before
Whenever I say your name, whenever I say it loud, I'm already praying

Whenever I say your name,
No matter how long it takes,
One day we'll be together

Whenever I say your name,
let there be no mistake
that day will last forever

[Chorus]
What's the 411, hun?
What's the 411, hun?
I got it goin on, hun
A yo, I got it goin on, hun

What's the 411, hun?

A yo, I got it goin on, hun

[Verse 1 - Grand Puba]
Well, I be Puba on this here
The nigga from last year
Girbaud's hanging baggy
Tommy Hilfiger top gear
Take no shorts
I'm doin lovely in all sports
Even swing the pole at the hole on my golf course
Some say I'm fancy
Cause I'm horny and nasty
If I see some rugged joint
Then I won't let it pass me
I take no shorts
Let suckas step up and see
I'll flip the and get harder than Jepoardy
I shot the sherif and the muthafuckin deputy
Test me
Check it
I'm not Keith Sweat but bet that ass
That I can make it last
Skinz turn they head so fast
They end up catching whip lash
If hun's a monster
I'm Carl Lewis on a meter dash
It's Grand Puba baby
And I'm gettin crazy cash
What's the 411? Let me know, hun
What's the 411?

[Chorus]

[Verse 2 - Mary J. Blige]
Yeah, nig, what makes you different from the next nigga
Seen you last week
And you couldn't even speak
You try to play like Mr. All-of-that
But now you wanna come to me with some chit-chat
I don't have no time for no wham-bam thank you, ma'am
Ghas me up, get me drunk and hit the the skinz and scram
The same ol' shit you pulled last week on Pam
I'm not havin that, No I'm not havin that
You gotta do a lot more and that's just how it be
I'm Mary Blige and you just aint runnin up in me
I need a man who's lookin out with some security
So come correct with some respect and then we will see
So if you with it, the drop the 7 digits
And I might just give you a call
If you aint with it, then don't waste you time at all
So what's the 411, hun?

Mary J Blige - What Love Is Lyrics

What Love Is Lyrics - Mary J Blige

Hmm.
Beautiful, horrible, magical, terrible.
Reason to laugh and smile.
Reason to cry yourself to sleep at night.
Start a fight. Make up, break up, wrong or right.
Heaven for all this worth can
Equally be hell right here on earth.
(And no one really knows anything about it)
But everybody needs it.
We can't live without it.
And that's the way it goes.)
Darkest day, brightest night.
Just some other things you might hear if you ask what love feels like.

And it feels like joy, and it feels like pain.
And it feels like sunshine, feels like rain.
An excuse for dying, reason to live.
And if you don't know, that's what love is.
Love is.

Gentle kiss, sweet caress.
Kiss the base of your neck.
Haunt you until my head works, I can't remember what you said.
Out, screaming loud, don't know what were screaming bout.
So confused and yes it's true, but if it wasn't there what would we do?

(And no one really knows anything about it)
But everybody needs it.
We can't live without it.
(And that's the way it goes.)
Darkest day, brightest night.
Just some other things you might hear if you ask what love feels like.

And it feels like joy, and it feels like pain.
And it feels like sunshine, feels like rain.
An excuse for dying, reason to live.
And if you don't know, that's what love is.
Love is.

That's love.
Anything that can bring you up or bring you down.
That's love.
Leave the sun up in your sky of the darkest clouds.
That's love. And we need it.
That's love. And we need it.
That's love.
Oh ask anybody how it feels

And it feels like joy, and it feels like pain.
And it feels like sunshine, feels like rain.
An excuse for dying, reason to live.
And if you don't know, that's what love is.
Love is.

And it feels like joy (joy), and it feels like pain (pain).
And it feels like sunshine, feels like rain.
An excuse for dying (oh), reason to live (oh).
And if you don't know, that's what love is.
Love is.
