Lyrics Mary J. Blige

Mary J. Blige

Doubt

They said I'd never be a leader

They said I'd never wear a crown

If I wanted to be someone

I should learn to settle down

You should know better

I tell myself

You'll never go further

I warned myself

You'll never be better

Don't know me that well

I made it to the end

I nearly paid the cost

I lost a lot of friends

I sacrificed a lot

I'd do it all again

Cause I made it to the top

But I can't keep doubting myself anymore

Now you're looking at a leader

Now you're staring at a queen

You'd said I'd never be someone

But now I'm pulling those strings

You should know better

Won't make me back down

You'll never go further

Can't turn me around

You'll never be better

So no stopping me now

I made it to the end

I nearly paid the cost

I lost a lot of friends

I sacrificed a lot

I'd do it all again

Cause I made it to the top

I can't keep doubting myself anymore

You think you know

But you don't know the half

You think you beat me down

But I'll have the last laugh

I'll keep getting up

Cause that's what I want to do

I'm gonna be the best me

I'm sorry if it kills you

I made it to the end

I nearly paid the cost

I lost a lot of friends

I sacrificed a lot

I'd do it all again

Cause I made it to the top

I can't keep doubting myself anymore

And I remember holding The Breakthrough album

Holding it in my hands, in my car

Listening to it on repeat

To me she was this untouchable goddess

And, and when I met her

I really, really wasn't expecting her

To just be, like me

I feel like we're, we're so similar
