Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Let's get it
Turn the track up a little bit
We need to rock in here
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
[Verse 2]
I wanna make you happy, happy
[Verse 3]
Uh, I'm not at all happy or elated, this category ain't my favorite
This my story, I'ma state it, you can love it or hate it
I'm just a misfit, bless with good dick and intelligence
Hood ****, holdin' no grudges or petty shit
I started, why are we coldhearted, so guarded?
Scared to get hurt? Tryin' not to love the hardest? That's garbage
Remember when we loved each other? Bathtub scrubbed each other?
Chillin', champagne spillin', uh, feelin' like this shit gon' last forever
Time went so fast, we had a blast together
Laughs we had, friends we spent time with
Now I be seein' your friends out, then I'm reminded
How we all used to gather up for the holidays
Now your friends all nervous to speak, they act afraid
I was your bestie, how'd it get to this?
As I reminisce, takin' of my MJ's in my empty crib, Mary
[Verse 4]
I wanna make you happy but you just don't see it
I wanna be around, babe, but I'm so tired of competin'
We say all the wrong things till we make each other cry
What are we doing? Will it ever get better?
[Verse 5]
My heart, my soul, I gave, it's yours
I can't get back all the things that I lost
Boy, I love you, but you're pushin' me away
[Verse 6]
I gave you everything that I got
Watched my feelings walk on by
Ever get sick of tryin'?
This is how I feel inside
I feel inside
(This is how I feel, this is how I feel)
Yeah
[Verse 7]
Now, I was hoping we'd get through this together
You said you'd love me through all types of stormy weather
Wasn't it you who said we'd be together for all time?
But it keeps messin' with my mind, oh, whoa
[Verse 8]
My heart, my soul (My heart, baby), I gave, it's yours
I can't get back all the things that I lost
I need you here, near me but I can't make you stay
I can't make you stay, I can't make you stay
[Verse 9]
I gave you everything that I got
Watched my feelings walk on by
Ever get sick of tryin'?
This is how I feel inside
How I feel inside, how I feel inside
This is how I feel, this is how I feel
[Verse 10]
Ah, I never thought that I would have this feeling
Do you think, for once, that you could truly mean it?
Wasted so much time disagreein'
See, I'm to the point where I don't know what I believe in
[Verse 11]
If you don't want this, I don't want this, I'll do my mornin' crunches
Play my jazz, pray to the East and watch the sunset
Uh, but yet I was blowin' you up the other night
Could tell your girl was tellin' you what to write back
Tell me why it's like that
[Verse 12]
Oh, so, make up your mind, boy, this time (This time, this time)
We can't go on like this, this ain't right
It ain't right
[Verse 13]
I'm feelin' really bad, feelin' kinda low
Think it's time to go
Oh, whoa
[Verse 14]
I gave you everything that I got (That I got)
Watched my feelings walk on by
(Watched my feelings walk on by)
Ever get sick of tryin'? (How I get, how I get)
This is how I feel inside (How I feel inside)
Feelin' inside (Feel inside)
Boy, this is how I feel, this is how I feel
Whoa, whoa
[Verse 15]
Sir Nas, Mrs. Mary J. Blige, this is her life
This is her life, yeah
Boy, this is how I feel, this is how I feel
Oh, yeah, oh, oh, oh
Lemme hear that
