Mary J. Blige - Love & Life (Intro) lyrics

**Phone dialling**

[Mary]

What's up, this is Mary, leave a message, and I'll holla back, peace

[Diddy]

Yo, yo Mary, pick up the phone girl

Ay yo Mary, pick up the phone girl

MJ = Hello?

PD = Ay yo, what's up?

MJ = What's up Puff?

PD = Girl you ready?

MJ = I'm always ready

[Diddy]

It's about that time again

This the moment they all been waiting for

Time to take it back to the gutter

The queen of hip-hop soul

[Mary] (Jay-Z)

Oohh, live your life cos life is love

Always thank the man above (thank you, uh)

The more you the more you get (that's real talk)

Yeah, yeah (let me warm it up for ya)

[Jay-Z]

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 he can get it jumpin like Donkey Kong

We could get it thumpin like bum-ba-bum

Travel the way of the gun, come on, c-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, ha

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, yeah

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 a 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

[Diddy]

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
