[Prodigy]
First of all we the one and only
Infamous and Mary Blige
Coming straight, ghetto poetry
And ain`t nothing changed but the size of the money
I`m still that same `g`
Can you say the same thing?
[Havoc]
Must be blind to the fact Mary Queen on the wax
We the kings on the streets
Ain`t know where your heart at, look inside
And you`ll find a entertainer, one of a kind
That`s way ahead of her time
Take a look
[Mary]
Oh I need to know
If you can get into my mind
Stimulate it
Give me good love all the time
Or are you just another man
Who`s after me for all my paper
Looking for a ride that`s free
[1 - Mary]
Deep inside I wish you`d see
That I`m just plain old Mary
Deep inside I wish you`d see
That I`m just plain old, plain old Mary J. Blige
[Mary]
Now you see for seven years I lived life openly
So it`s hard to find someone who really knows me
So I say these things just so that you can know
That you can`t be with me
If you`re trying to change my flow
[Mary]
Now if you take away the house
And you take away the clothes I wear
And you take away the diamonds
I`mma still be standing here
And if you take away the voice and the money
I will always be my nigga`s favorite honey
And if you take away the car I drive
I`mma still be Mary Blige
[Repeat 1]
[Prodigy]
Let`s separate the bullshit from the truth
Straight up, I ain`t got time for new friends, I need paper
We came up from the trenches
It was like pulling teeth without sedation
From the benches to the Bentley seats
Nigga, we the M-O-B-B
What, you ain`t heard? You can`t see?
Ever since the cash they wanna hound P
Oh now you got L-O-V-E for me
[Havoc]
Doing this for about a decade Mobb and Mary
Troopers in the game with a heavy load to carry
After all the trials and tribulations
Rumors we faced, the media invading our space
That`s the price you gotta pay
Take away by signs of whips
I`mma just plain old me at the end of the day
You can say what you choose
God gonna see me through
Criticize all you want `till your face turn blue
I know you see
[Mary]
If you take away the house
And you take away the clothes I wear
And you take away the diamonds
I`mma still be standing here
And if you take away the voice and the money
I will always be my nigga`s favorite honey
And if you take away the car I drive
I`mma still be Mary Blige
[Repeat 1 till end]
