Mary J. Blige - Know lyrics

Lord knows, it just ain't fair
Give me some volume, give me some volume
You know, when hear the word queen
You automatically think of a woman
Getting everything she wants
But, it's not like that at all (At all)
See, being a ruler means sacrifice
(Sacrifice) most of the time
You get less than what you give
(What you give) so every woman and mother in
The world is a queen
Because she sacrificed so much (So much)

Get so lonely sometimes
Some times I gotta clear my mind
Can't stop walking on water
Feels like I'm dealing at the altar
Gets so heavy sometimes
Carrying this weight of mine
Looks like the seas are partin'
So I might as well start walkin'

Oh, Lord, Lord, Lord
They just don't know, know, know
How hard I had to go, go, go
To get through, to get through
They just don't know, know, know, know
Know, know, know
How many times I lost (How many times I lost)
Just so I could win (Ooh, yeah)
They just don't know, know, know, know
Oh, no, no how many times I've died
(How many times I've died)
Just to live again, oh yeah

When life was coming at me quick
I had to tuck in my emotions
(yeah, yeah, yeah)
I know He watchin', God, I made it look good
I was chosen
Gone through hell to get to heaven
Build a bridge and get over
My snap back's real, still
Thick in these jeans
I ain't missing no meals

Oh, Lord, Lord, Lord
They just don't know, know, know
How hard I had to go, go, go
To get through, to get through
They just don't know, know, know, know
(Know, know, know) know, know, know
How many times I've lost
(How many times I've lost)
Just so I could win (Ooh, yeah)
They just don't know, know, know, know
Oh, no, no how many times I've died
(No, they just don't know)
Just to live again (No, they just don't know)

They just don't know, know, know, know
(Know, know, know) know, know, know
How many times I've lost
(How many times I've lost)
Just so I could win (Woo, yeah)
They just don't know, know, know, know
Oh, no, no how many times I've died
(No, they just don't know)
Just to live again
(No, they just don't know) , yeah
