[Intro: Missy Elliott]
~#**************#~
Ayo, Mary, I need you to vibe with me on this one
~#**************#~
Uh
~#**************#~
Uh
~#**************#~
Check it
~#**************#~
[Verse 1: Missy Elliott]
~#**************#~
As I grab my pad and pen and begin to talk from within
~#**************#~
Oh God, my eyes, they water like a preacher who sin
~#**************#~
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 break
~#**************#~
Okay, I do make mistakes, but Im the realest from the fake
~#**************#~
Thats why Im the hardest to hate
~#**************#~
Aaliyah, baby girl, Ive learned to love those while theyre 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 Biggie and Jay and Pun are still number one
~#**************#~
There will be more of us to come
~#**************#~
I am a leader, a teacher, a guider
~#**************#~
Like a single parent provider
~#**************#~
Putting back those hip-hop dividers
~#**************#~
Like a priest with a back slider
~#**************#~
Ive sinned, but I win
~#**************#~
And anyone weve lost in life from 9/11
~#**************#~
Well be sure to see again
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Mary J. Blige]
~#**************#~
What you hear is not a test (Ooh)
~#**************#~
Im rocking to the beat (Im rocking to the beat)
~#**************#~
See, me and my crew and my friends (Yeah)
~#**************#~
Were gonna try to move your feet (Move around, move around)
~#**************#~
See, I am Mary Blige (Yes, I am)
~#**************#~
And Id like to say hello (Thank you for inviting me)
~#**************#~
To the Black to the white, the red and the brown
~#**************#~
The purple and yellow (Everybody)
~#**************#~
But first you gotta
~#**************#~
But first you gotta
~#**************#~
[Outro: Missy Elliott]
~#**************#~
Yo, I dont wait for the DJs to drop bombs on my records
~#**************#~
I drop em on my own shit
