Mary J. Blige - Finally Made It (interlude) lyrics

It's not all about the money
(It's not all about the money)
'Cause, I love what I'm doing for the people
(I really love doing my job, I really do)
Don't know were I would be
If this didn't happen (You know)
But, I finally made it

A lot of us don't graduate from high school
A lot us don't get a
Chance at being a superstar
A lot us don't get a chance
To fulfill our dreams and I'm thinking
Like God! If I wasn't
Doing this what would I be
Doing? Probably like braiding hair
Working at a supermarket
You know, just hustling two jobs
You know what I mean?
At least trying to do the right thing
(La, la, la, la) i lost so much, you know?
I lost so, so much over the years
But, like, it's amazing how when you
Decide that you wanna do, do the right thing
And when I say I "finally made it, " like
I don't mean I made
It successfully with money i mean like
I'm spiritually successful right now, like
I'm on the right track
(Never give up, never give up, never
Never give up, never give up, never give up)
I'm on my way to like
(Never give up, never give up, never
Never give up, never give up, never give up)
A place where I, you know
I never dreamed I'd be and that's perfection
I'm striving for that
I don't think no one can ever be perfect
But I'm striving to be that
(Never give up, never give up, never
Never give up, never give up, never give up)
So what I'm saying to all my fans is
If I can do it, I know y'all can do it, too
