[Intro]

This Jam is dedicated to Moi

That's right you guys

Just For.....

[Chorus: Left Eye]

Me

I believe in me

Cause I take care of me

Took so long to see

All I really need is me

Faith and family

Finally made me see

No matter what I think

All I need is me

[Verse 1: Left Eye]

Everybody says they know me better than I know myself

But I don't know nobody else that felt what I felt

Did what I did, or been where I been

But, had to defend myself again and again

Let it in where it begins, who cares what the cause is

Too many bosses cost a bore, and I don't take offers well

I play with the team, but I am Diana Ross, and not a Supreme

You think you got me all figured out

So the only solid thing is trying to get a bigger house?

No, part of my need is a company

So I can hire out my own people to live out their own dreams

So tell me, what's happenin to all yall people with low self esteem

What, what, 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: Left Eye]

Me

I believe in me

Cause I take care of me

Took so long to see

All I really need is me

Faith and family

Finally made me see

No matter what I think

All I need is me

[Verse 2: Left Eye]

I ignored 30 mil, dates to making money

When it got too 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 game

Oh my how could him and I, be the same

When the house burnt down, only I took the blame

When the money ain't got funny, I predicted court

What most of yall dwell, wouldn't even thought

When the group had issues, I layed in the thought

I corrected the bad news, I heard in intervers

Tell me do you really know lisa, not many

It's not contrary to fear, I don't know you either

I'm more responsible for more, than you will ever see

So many things you don't know, happen because of me

I'm black to the design, to the state, that was me

So how may of y'all will laugh at me

[Chorus: Left Eye]

Me

I believe in me

Cause I take care of me

Took so long to see

All I really need is me

Faith and family

Finally made me see

No matter what I think

All I need is me

[Verse 3: Left Eye]

Everybody says all they want the truth

Well the truth is that I still got love for my group

But you don't really want the truth when it's concerning you

You want to hear that no one is doing 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 being around

Do not get involved, where you do not belong

When my faith started to waver, I feltwas like I was done

I felt like Brian McKnight, I was back at one

The only one that was, the only one and ever

The only one I need, the one and only me

Because if I ever told you it was all on a different plane

You would think that I meant our flights ain't the same

My my crime is that I was so blind

Didn't know I had everything that I wanted all the time

[Chorus: Left Eye 4x]

Me

I believe in me

Cause I take care of me

Took so long to see

All I really need is me

Faith and family

Finally made me see

No matter what I think

All I need is me
