[Intro: Starshell]
Ooh, yeah
Listen
[Verse 1: Starshell]
I went from nothing to something
You didn't give me the love I need
All my life I been runnin'
Tryna hide so you can't see
All my insecurities, the way you feel about me
I don't care 'cause you weren't there
You never believed in me
[Chorus: Starshell]
Now I'm in the game
Now you wanna change
Now I'm the it-girl, I'm that bitch
Don't need your co-sign
Too busy getting mine
MJB is rockin' with me
Now they screamin' my name (Now they screamin' my name)
[Verse 2: Mary J. Blige]
Now you see that I'm winnin'
And you wanna hate on me
I'm hater-proof, did you witness?
Like an eagle soaring free
I can conquer anything
You're just a bump in the road
Now I can exhale and live my life and breathe
[Chorus: Starshell]
Now I'm in the game
Now you wanna change
Now I'm the it-girl, I'm that bitch
Don't need your co-sign
Too busy getting mine
MJB is rockin' with me
Now they screamin' my name (Now they screamin' my name)
[Bridge: Starshell & Mary J. Blige]
(You never was there, but now you're here for me, for me, for me, for me)
You never was there, but now I'm here, what can't you see?
(You never was there, but now you're here for me, for me, for me, for me)
Ooh, you never was there, but now I'm here instead
[Chorus: Starshell]
Now I'm in the game
Now you wanna change
Now I'm the it-girl, I'm that bitch
Don't need your co-sign
Too busy getting mine
MJB is rockin' with me
Now they screamin' my name (Now they screamin' my name)
Now they screamin' my name (Now they screamin' my name)
Now I'm in the game
Now you wanna change
Now I'm the it-girl, I'm that bitch
Don't need your co-sign
Too busy getting mine
MJB is rockin' with me (MJB is rockin' with me)
[Outro: Starshell]
Yeah, it really wasn't easy
I came a long, long way
All the way from Lowell, Massachusetts
Straight to Hollywood
Here I come, y'all
Here I come
Thank you
Thank you
