Mary J. Blige Love & Life Intro lyrics

What's up, this is Mary, leave a message
And I'll holla back, peace
Yo, yo Mary, pick up the phone, girl
Ay yo Mary, pick up the phone, girl

Hello?
Ay yo, what's up?
What's up, Puff?
Yo, you ready?
I'm always ready

It's about that time again
This is the moment they all been waiting for
Time to take it back to the gutter
The queen of hip-hop soul

Live your life 'cos life is love
Always thank the man above
(Thank you)
The more you give the more you get
(That's real talk)
Yeah, yeah
(Let me warm it up for ya)

Who better than Usher, you back through the gutter
Than America's number one hustler
(Sean Carter)
Don't call it or come back
Unless there's some money attached to that
And you can call it whatever you like, in fact

It's something like a phenomenon
Like I'm a younger bro
Taking my hostile games gone
TV just for dunkin' on
Whoever want it with Sean

We can get it jumpin' like donkey kong

We could get it thumpin' like bum-ba-bum
Travel the way of the gun, come on, come on
No, I'm not only beggin' I'm eggin' you on
Until you dead or gone that's the vendetta I'm on
This ain't no video game with wrestlers on it
The competitor on this is on some shit

On this come through all black like a amish
Holsters under the armpit, the arm spit
Just that Brooklyn don shit
Along with the queen from yonkers
Come on kiss the ring
'Fore I let miss Mary sing

Supposed to you a soul in the everything
It's classic material
I see you bastards at the burial
Jay go first and then Mary go, round
I just ride, hole her down with the fifth by my side
Me and Miss Blige

Look up in the sky it's a bird that came
In the hydro flow that I bought to the game
I could go mo' but I'm a let ma do her thang
Brooklyn, we did it again

I can't really explain what it is about her
I don't know it's just, it's something special
Ain't nobody like her, there's only one Mary
Only one queen of hip-hop soul
Love and life, let's do it
