[Intro: Jennifer Lopez & (Nas)]
~#**************#~
Oh yes
~#**************#~
(Uh, this for you, girl)
~#**************#~
[Verse 1: Nas]
~#**************#~
Yo, I took you from the projects, put the best clothes in ya closet
~#**************#~
Like Ginger from “Casino” and now you a pro
~#**************#~
We was like Joe DiMaggio and Marilyn Monroe
~#**************#~
All ya jealous girlfriends hatin waitin
~#**************#~
So I put the cards in yo hand
~#**************#~
All I know, when Nas was yo man
~#**************#~
It was so real, boats and sixes
~#**************#~
Special Japanese chefs makin home cooked dishes
~#**************#~
Plenty trips, invisible sets
~#**************#~
You know what you missin
~#**************#~
[Verse 2: Jennifer Lopez]
~#**************#~
Its funny cause for a while
~#**************#~
I walked around with a smile
~#**************#~
But deep inside, I could hear
~#**************#~
Voices telling me this aint right
~#**************#~
Dont you know hes not for you?
~#**************#~
I always knew what I had to do
~#**************#~
But its hard to get away
~#**************#~
‘Cause I love you, I just tried to stay
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Jennifer Lopez]
~#**************#~
I used to say I couldnt do it but I did it (Yes, I did)
~#**************#~
After telling everybody that I wasnt with it (Oh, yes)
~#**************#~
Though it brings tears to my eyes, I can feel it
~#**************#~
And I know inside Ima be alright (Ima be alright)
~#**************#~
I said I couldnt do it but I did it (Yes, I did)
~#**************#~
After telling everybody that I wasnt with it (Oh, yes)
~#**************#~
Though it brings tears to my eyes, I can feel it
~#**************#~
And that voice inside says Im gonna be alright
~#**************#~
[Verse 3: Jennifer Lopez]
~#**************#~
Friends of mine say to me
~#**************#~
Say you got control over me
~#**************#~
Youre not alone, I played my part
~#**************#~
I saw the way you were from the start
~#**************#~
Could I expect so much from you?
~#**************#~
You had a girl when I first met you
~#**************#~
Did the best that you could do
~#**************#~
Now I realize I cant change you
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Jennifer Lopez]
~#**************#~
I used to say I couldnt do it but I did it (Ooh)
~#**************#~
After telling everybody that I wasnt with it
~#**************#~
Though it brings tears to my eyes, I can feel it
~#**************#~
And I know inside Ima be alright (Be alright)
~#**************#~
I said I couldnt do it but I did it (Yes, I did it)
~#**************#~
After telling everybody that I wasnt with it (Oh, yes)
~#**************#~
Though it brings tears to my eyes, I can feel it
~#**************#~
And that voice inside says Im gonna be alright
~#**************#~
[Bridge: Jennifer Lopez & Nas]
~#**************#~
Said I wouldnt walk away
~#**************#~
Some days I want to stay (Days I want to stay)
~#**************#~
But leaving you is what I need to do (Need to do)
~#**************#~
To be okay (I need to be okay)
~#**************#~
I never thought it would be true (Would be true)
~#**************#~
Be living without you (Living without you, shit cause life is crazy)
~#**************#~
So now its time for me to make that move (Uh, check it)
~#**************#~
[Verse 4: Nas & (Jennifer Lopz)]
~#**************#~
Yo, nobody understands me, Im dealin with pressure
~#**************#~
My peoples is locked in a jail cell with no bail stressin
~#**************#~
Guess its the life of a kingpin (Oh, no)
~#**************#~
Rap Stephen King, rap bling
~#**************#~
Like neon lights, we gon be alright (Be alright, yes)
~#**************#~
But its like, you feelin me lesser
~#**************#~
Claim Im actin like a retard, right? (Oh, no)
~#**************#~
Me and my boys, we start fights, when will I mature?
~#**************#~
You scream Im in the streets all night
~#**************#~
Or where was I at, ya found light brown hairs on my hat (Said Im gonna be alright)
~#**************#~
Im slow caught
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Jennifer Lopez]
~#**************#~
I used to say I couldnt do it but I did it
~#**************#~
After telling everybody that I wasnt with it
~#**************#~
Though it brings tears to my eyes, I can feel it
~#**************#~
And I know inside Ima be alright
~#**************#~
I said I couldnt do it but I did it
~#**************#~
After telling everybody that I wasnt with it
~#**************#~
Though it brings tears to my eyes, I can feel it
~#**************#~
And that voice inside says Im gonna be alright
