See I don't wanna say that this is the end

I'll end by saying this is where we'll begin

Hip hop is a freedom of expression

Not a freedom of depression

Can I make my one suggestion

Look at how we're labeled gangster rappers

Is that their only impression wake up

Rap is a craft art and a rap of sport

Something like a game of basketball can't be taught

But yet we accept the name thug like that's fly

See how they covered our eyes

Give us names to separate us

Sit back and watch us beef and make us hate us

Say what I'm done talking

Mary J Blige let 'em know this is not a test

I hear you calling

What you hear is not a test

I'm rocking to the beat I'm rocking to the beat

See me and my crew and my friends

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 red and the brown

The purple and yellow everybody

But first you gotta oh but first you gotta
