Making It Hard (feat. Mary J. Blige)

Can you feel me?

I want her to feel it in her chest

I want her to feel it in her soul

I want her to lose control

Mary, talk to 'em

Ah, yeah, ah

You takin' a part of me that I cannot set free

See me lettin' go, no, this ain't the time

I got too much livin' to do and I can't lose it over you

So, gimme the flow, I'll get my swagger goin'

I'll say this is the year for me

You, you makin' it so damn hard

You makin' it so damn hard for me to love you

You, you makin' it so damn hard

You makin' it so damn hard for me to love you

You makin' it hard, so hard, so hard for me

You makin' it hard, so hard, so hard for me

You makin' it hard now

So hard, so hard for me

You makin' it so damn hard for me to love you

Damn, you been around and be down the whole way

I know I make it hard to love me, but trust me

I could take you places that you ain't never been

Put you in purple labels and that Ferroin

Get your name engraved on that wedding ring

On everything, I'ma love you better more that I ever did

See, bay girl, listen, since you been here with me

Can't even lie, see the rider and you ambition

Try to providin' me the fire when you we and drippin'

Mommy, if you see different, go 'head and get it

And I ain't sayin' if you leave me it'd be better

But me and you together, honey, we could do whatever

I made it hard, I admit it, it's true

I need to hear somethin', I'm listenin', boo (Talk to me)

So make sure I'm heard and and speed to show the things improve

I'm prepared to take it there for you

Your lovin' keeps me lovin', sayin' no purpose constant chest pain

It's amazin', but it ain't enough

Friends keep askin', I'm stayin' around for what?

Who sheds this many tears?

Remind of where am I as to what it is

Oh, oh, oh

You know I'm hard to love

That's right

You, you makin' it so damn hard

You makin' it so damn hard for me to love you

You, you makin' it so damn hard

You makin' it so damn hard for me to love you

You makin' it hard, so hard, so hard for me

You makin' it hard, so hard, so hard for me

You makin' it hard now

So hard, so hard for me

(Let me talk to you one more time, girl)

You makin' it so damn hard for me to love you

You always sayin' that I don't want you to hurt

You tryin' to complain, but I was makin' it worse

Besides all the games that I's kickin' it first

It's time to explain, my mind's been in reverse

But now think back (Think back), when nobody cared (Nobody cared)

And was there just to roll by your man and came back (Came back)

Even though what I did, I realize and I'm aware

I know what it is, put that on everything

Girl, you my everything

I don't know where I'd be, 'cause you the air I breathe

If lovin' you wrong, then who could be right?

I wouldn't know what to do without you in my life

You're more to me than the world, I pray

The more nights for your heart to ache

So, right in the middle of the dawn of day

I think of all pain I caused and throw it away and say

(Oh, you, you)

I need you in my life, can you feel it in your soul?

You, you makin' it so damn hard

You makin' it so damn hard for me to love you

You, you makin' it so damn hard

You makin' it so damn hard for me to love you

You makin' it hard, so hard, so hard for me

You makin' it hard, so hard, so hard for me

You makin' it hard, so hard, so hard for me

You makin' it so damn hard for me to love you

This ain't what I want, no

I gave all my heart, no

So hard for me to love you

Don't know what you want, no

You makin' it so damn hard for me to love you

This ain't what I want, no

I gave all my heart, no

Don't know what you want, no

You makin' it so damn hard for me to love you

Yeah, you are

Yeah, uh

We, we met like, I wanna say like, maybe, twelve years ago

Yeah, we used to work, we used to work the same job

Worked at Uptown, MCA Records together

You know, uh

Shit, I used to just like walk past her and no even really say nothin'

And then one day, one day, eyes did meet though

Man, I think the best way I could describe her is like

Like, like, like, she the only one that really made me smile, you know

Uh, you know every time I see her, it's like

It's like the first time I saw her face

Some people have that effect on you

I thank God that he sent me somebody

You know, that truly loves me

You know
