feat. Mobb Deep)



[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
