Lyrics Finally Made It (Interlude) - 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
