Yeah let's take 'em back
911 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
And 94 was my life and my life wasn't right
So I reached out to you and told you what I been through
Hate it or love it?the underdogs on top?
And I'm gonna shine homie until my heart stops
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?the underdogs on top?
And I'm gonna shine homie until my heart stops
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
Trying to find my way
Then I dropped the mary album
And people were saying 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
And I came with no more drama
I remember that year
It was when Aaliyah died I couldn't hardly sleep
Thought about it everyday and it made me change my way
I'm a real woman now because of all of these days
Hate it or love it?the underdogs on top?
And I'm gonna shine homie until my heart stops?hate it?
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?the underdogs on top?
And I'm gonna shine homie until my heart stops
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
Dododododah dododododah
Reminice on the love we have
You are everything
Love without a limit
What you gonna do without
My life my life my life
Hate it or love it?the underdogs on top?
And I'm gonna shine homie until my heart stops
Go 'head envy me
I'm the soul hip-hop queen
And I ain't going nowhere
