Finally Made It (interlude) Songtext
von Mary J. Blige

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

A lot of us don't graduate from high school
A lot us don′t get a shot at being a superstar
A lot us don't get a chance to fulfill our dreams
But I′m thinking like, God, if I wasn't doing this
What would I be doing?


I probably like braidin′ hair
Workin' at a supermarket
You know just hustlin' two jobs
You know what I mean?
At least tryin′ to do the right thing

I lost so much you know?
I lost so, so much over the years, but like
It′s amazin' 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, like successfully with money
I mean like, I'm spiritually successful right now
Like, I′m on a right track

(Never give up, never give up, never)
I'm on my way to like (Never give up)
A place were I know (Never give up, never give up)
I never dreamed were I′d be and that's perfection

I'm strivin′ for that
I don′t think nobody ever perfect, but (Never give up)
I'm strivin′ to be that (Never give up)
So what I'm saying to all my fans is (Never give up)
If I can do it, I know y′all can do it too
