Mary J. Blige - Finally Made It (Interlude) lyrics

rate me

(It's not all about the money)<br />

It's not all about the money<br />

('Cause I love what I'm doin' for the people)<br />

I really love doin' my job, I really do<br />

(Don't know were I would be if this didn't happened)<br />

You know<br />

(But I finally made it)<br />

<br />

A lot of us don't graduate from high school<br />

A lot us don't get a shot at being a superstar<br />

A lot us don't get a chance to fulfill our dreams<br />

But I'm thinking like, "God, if I wasn't doing this<br />

What would I be doing?"<br />

<br />

Probably like braiding hair<br />

Workin' at a super market, you know?<br />

Just hustlin' two jobs<br />

You know what I mean?<br />

At least tryin' to do the right thing<br />

<br />

I lost so much you know?<br />

I lost so, so much over the years 'cause like<br />

It's amazin' how when you decide that you wanna do<br />

Do the right thing and when I say, "I finally made it"<br />

Like I don't mean I made it, like successfully wit money<br />

I mean like, I'm spiritually successful right now<br />

Like I'm on a right track<br />

<br />

(Never give up, never give up, never)<br />

I'm on my way to like<br />

(Never give up)<br />

A place were I know<br />

(Never give up, never give up)<br />

I never dreamed were I would be and that's perfection<br />

(Ohh)<br />

I'm strivin' for that<br />

I don't think no one can ever be perfect but<br />

(Never give up)<br />

I'm strivin' again, strivin' against all things<br />

(Never give up, never)<br />

(Never give up, never give up, never give up, ohh)<br />

So what I'm saying to all my fans is<br />

"If I can do it, I know y'all can do it too"<br />

(Ohh)<br /><br />
