Lyrics
Yeah
Let's take 'em back
'91 I stepped in this game
After "What's the 411?"
Things ain't been the same and I can't complain
But with all this fame comes a whole lot of pain, but
I'm so glad to be here
And my music's still sincere
Let's get back to the story
All of this pain and glory
In '94 was "My Life"
And my life wasn't right
So I reached out to you
And told you what I been through
Hate or love it, the underdogs on top
And I'm gon' shine, homie, until my heart stop
Go head envy me, I'm the soul hip-hop queen
And I ain't going nowhere but you already know me
Hate or love it, the underdogs on top
And I'm gon' shine, homie, until my heart stop
Go head envy me, I'm the soul hip-hop queen
And I ain't going nowhere but you already know me
Then I came with "Share My World"
But at that point I was just a foolish girl tryin' to find my way
Then I dropped the "Mary" album
And people would say that
It's just not gonna work
And my feelings they did hurt
But my fans showed me so much love
And I owe it all to them
Then I came with "No More Drama"
I remember that week
It was when Aaliyah died
I couldn't hardly sleep
Thought about it every day
And it made me change my way
I'm a real woman now because of all of these things
Hate or love it, the underdogs on top
And I'm gon' shine, homie, until my heart stop
Go head envy me, I'm the soul hip-hop queen
And I ain't going nowhere but you already know me
Hate or love it, the underdogs on top
And I'm gon' shine, homie, until my heart stop
Go head envy me, I'm the soul hip-hop queen
And I ain't going nowhere but you already know me
You remind me of a real love (you don't have to worry)
Real love
All night long I'm goin' down
Reminisce on the love we have
You are everything, love without a limit
What you gonna do without my life, my life, my life, my life?
Hate or love it, the underdogs on top
And I'm gon' shine, homie, until my heart stop
Go head envy me, I'm the soul hip-hop queen
And I ain't going nowhere but you already know me
Hate or love it, the underdogs on top
And I'm gon' shine, homie, until my heart stop
Go head envy me, I'm the soul hip-hop queen
And I ain't going nowhere but you already know me
Hate it or love it (I'm gon', I'm gon' shine)
I'm gon' shine (I'm gon', I'm gon' shine)
Go head envy me, I'm the soul hip-hop queen
And I ain't going nowhere but you already know me
