I Believe In Me

This jame is dedicated to me

that's right you guys it's just for...

[Chorus]

Me i believe in me

cuz i take care of me

it took so long to see

all i really need is me

faith and family

has finally made me see

no matter what i face

all i need is me

Everybody says they no me better than i know myself

but i don't know nobody else has felt what i have felt

did what i did or been where i been

but i have to defend myself again and again

let it end where it begins

who cares what the cause is

to many bosses cause divorces

and i don't take losses

well i play with a team

but i'm a Diana Ross not a Supreme

you think you got me all figured out

ohh so i'm so shallow

the only thing i'm tryin to get is a bigger house

no part of my need is a company

where i can hire my own people

to live out there dreams

so tell me

what's happenin to all of ya'll people with low self-esteem

what you want me to cry on your shoulder

so you can turn around and laugh and talk about it when it's over

[Chorus]

I done sold 30 mill, dated, then made you want it

when it got to convenient i just gave it up

i don't need the stress

i don't need the pain

i do need the checks

but don't need the games

ohh my how could him and I be the same

when the house burnt down

only i made the blame

when the money got funny i took it to court

when most of ya'll scrubs

wouldn't have even fought it

when the group had issues i laid in thought

corrected the bad news i heard the interviews

how amny of you really know Lisa? not many

it's not contrary, it's fear i don't know you either

it's responsible for more than you'll ever know or see

so many things you don't know happened because of me

from Blaque to the designs of the stage that was me

so how could any of ya'll be mad at me?

[Chorus]

Everybody says all they want is the truth

well the truth is i still got love my group

but you really don't want the truth when it's concernin you

you want to hear that no one's doin better than you

you love to hear the pain

you love to hear the struggle

you love to know that paradise

has got trouble

the only trouble we ever had

is you bein involved

you gettin involved where you don't belong

when my faith started to waver it was like i was done

i felt like Brian McKnight I was "Back At One"

the only one that was

the only one that ever

the only one i need

the one and only me

because if i hadn't told you it was on different planes

you would think that i meant our flights ain't the same

my only crime was i was so blind

didn't know that i had everything i wanted all the time

[Chorus 3x]
