Mary J. Blige

Its not all about the money
(Its not all about the money).
Cause I love what Im doing for the people.
(I really love doing my job, I really do).
Dont know were I would be if this didnt happened.
(You know...)
But I finally made it...
(A lot of us dont graduate from high school. A lot us dont get a chance at being a superstar. A lot us dont get a chance
to fulfill our dreams and Im thinking like God! If I wasnt doing this what would I be doing? Probably like braiding hair.
Working at a super market. You know? Just hustling two jobs you know what I mean? At least trying to live.)
La, la, la, la
(I lost so much you know? I lost so, so much over the years cause like its amazing how when you decide that you wanna do
the right thing. When I say I "Finally Made It" I dont mean like successfully, or wit money, I mean like...
Im spiritually successful right now. You know like trying...)
Never give up, never give up, never, never give up, never give up...
(Im on my way to like... A place were I know... I never dreamed were I would be and that?s perfection... Im striving for
that... I dont think no one can ever be perfect, Im striving again, striving against all things... So what Im saying to
all my fans is... If I can do it... I know yall can do it too...)
