Hate It or Love It

When you learn 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
Lets 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've been through

Hate it or love it the underdogs' on top
and I'm gon' shine homey until my heart stop
Go head and envy me, I'm a soul hip-hop queen
and I ain't goin' nowhere but you already know me

- Mary J Blige on "Hate it or Love it (remix)"
