Mary J. Blige：

Look what I did I made history

They don't know what to do with me

Ain't lookin' back keepin' it movin'

I know exactly how to do this

Mary J. Blige：

Keep smilin' make 'em wild out

Stay loud don't dumb it down

Hold my crown up to the sky

Hold your crown up to the sky

Mary J. Blige：

Hey time for us to go and get the money y'all

Floodgates open gonna take it all

I am a diamond 'cause of pressure

The bigger the trial bigger the blessin'

Mary J. Blige：

No we're not just survivin' yeah we're thrivin' over here

All those sad songs don't break me just gave me a record deal

Ooh ooh

We're not just survivin' yeah we're thrivin' over here

Oh oh

Mary J. Blige：

You see I'm on a mission

Yeah

Ain't no baggage weighin' me down

No

Had to get out my feelings

Ooh

'Cause I'm tired of people seein' me drown

Mary J. Blige：

Smile make 'em wild out

Stay loud don't dumb it down

Hold my crown up to the sky

Oh

Hold your crown up to the sky

Oh

Mary J. Blige：

Hey time for us to go and get the money y'all

Yeah

Floodgates open gonna take it all

Take it all

I am a diamond 'cause of pressure

The bigger the trial bigger the blessin'

Mary J. Blige/Nas：

No we're not just survivin' yeah we're thrivin' over here

We're not just survivin'

All those sad songs don't break me just gave me a record deal

Oh unbreakable

Ooh ooh

Unfadeable yeah

We're not just survivin' yeah we're thrivin' over here

Yeah uh

Nas：

We're here for a good time not a long time

And no bad vibe is gon' spoil mine

No such thing as the right time or wrong time

We don't do small time we do royal time

I picture myself here as a small guy

Switched up gears from Nasty Nas and Nasir like

Cassius Clay to Ali the greatest of all time

Financial page my name in New York Times

Incredible milestones forever

It's set-in-stone MJB the letters

Everybody that try to violate we beat 'em for God's sake

Never mind that I'm reachin' my prime the second time that's great

In record time stop the hate

And love your life fix your crown up straight

I dodged bullets and jail time and kept drivin'

Stood tall through it all keep thrivin'

Mary J. Blige：

No we're not just survivin' yeah we're thrivin' over here

Yeah we're thrivin' over here

All those sad songs don't break me just gave me a record deal

They didn't break me no

Ooh ooh

We're not just survivin' yeah we're thrivin' over here

Oh oh

Mary J. Blige：

So whatever you want go get it go get it

Oh so whatever

I swear whatever it's yours go get it go get it

Oh it's yours

Joy and peace hope for sure go get it go get it

I swear whatever it's yours

It's yours

Go get it

Mary J. Blige：

No we're not just survivin' yeah we're thrivin' over here

Yeah we're thrivin' over here

All those sad songs don't break me just gave me a record deal

They didn't break me no

Ooh ooh

We're not just survivin' yeah we're thrivin' over here

Oh oh
