Gerard McMann - Intro * lyrics
* included because of Missy's actual rap
 [Missy] (Mary)
 Ay yo Mary, I need you to vibe with me on this one
 Uh, uh, check it
 As I grab my pad and pen and begin to talk from within
 Oh God, my eyes, they water like a preacher who sins
 I'm only human but, the world has put me on a platform
 Since the day I was born, to only wait for my downfall
 But like a brick wall I'm too hard to break
 Okay I do make mistakes but I'm the realest from the fake
 That's why I'm the hardest to hate, Aaliyah, baby girl
 I've learned to love those while they're still awake
 Sleep, sleep, and prepare a place for those who are good
 In the projects and hood, gifted or misunderstood
 I know Lisa, Pac and Biggie and Jay and Pun are still number one
 There will be more of us to come (ohh)
 I am a leader, a teacher, a guider (ooh)Gerard McMann - Intro * - http://motolyrics.com/gerard-mcmann/intro-lyrics.html
 Like a single parent provider (ooh)
 Putting back those hip-hop dividers
 Like a priest with a back slider
 I've sinned but I win
 And anyone we've lost in life or nine eleven
 We'll be sure to see again (ooh, hoo)
 [Mary]
 What you hear is not a test (ooh)
 I'm rocking to the beat (I'm rocking to the beat)
 See me and my crew and my friends (and)
 We're gonna try to move your feet (move around, move around)
 See I am Mary Blige (yes I am)
 And I'd like to say hello (thank you for inviting me)
 To the black to the white, the read and the brown
 The purple and yellow (everybody)
 But first you gotta, but first you gotta
