Written by：Mary J. Blige/Freddie Anthony Jackson/Melisa Joyce Morgan/Sean Garrett/Robert F. Aries

In my life

I've seen

It all

Now it's time

For me

To pass

On this

Knowledge to you

All my sisters

My troubled sisters

This is my

Gift to you

Been many days

Couldn't take

The pain

Felt like

I should take

My life away

See it everyday

In every other

Young sister's face

Young sister's face

See'em cryin' out

Life full of doubt

Runnin' in the streets

No self esteem

Thinkin' that

Used to be me

What a shame

And life

Is a mutha

It's hard

To sit back

And see

The same thing

That happened to me

Happen to you

This ain't love

But here's

The love

I wanna give to you

It dosen't

Matter what

They say or do

Don't let'em

Get to you

Don't be afraid

You can you can

You can breakthrough

Take what

I've been through

To see that

You can't

Hold a good

Woman down

Went through

The same point

Of givin' up

I-I felt

Like I had enough

Went to the edge

Of the ledge

But I didn't jump

My Life

Will sum it up

You can't

Hold a good

Woman down

When I used to see

My daddy beat

My mother down

Down to her feet

I used to say

That ain't gon'

Never be me

Never be me

Now look at you

Bruised up

From him

Girl recognize

You're better then

Him tellin' you

That he'll never hit

You again

Girl don't cry

And life

Is a mutha

It's hard

To sit back

And see

The same thing

That happened to me

Happen to you

This ain't love

But here's

The love

I wanna give to you

It dosen't

Matter what

They say or do

Don't let'em

Get to you

Don't be afraid

You can you can

You can breakthrough

Take what

I've been through

To see that

You can't

Hold a good

Woman down

Went through

The same point

Of givin' up

I-I felt

Like I had enough

Went to the edge

Of the ledge

But I didn't jump

My Life

Will sum it up

You can't

Hold a good

Woman down

Through your changes

I will hold your hand

Use my songs

As remedies

Whenever you're feelin'

Down or blue

I'll be there for you

Trust

And know

That I've been

Where you're at

Seen the things

That you can see

Lookin' at you

Resembles me

But you gotta

Hold your own

It dosen't

Matter what

They say or do

Don't let'em

Get to you

Don't be afraid

You can you can

You can breakthrough

Take what

I've been through

To see that

You can't

Hold a good

Woman down

Went through

The same point

Of givin' up

I-I felt

Like I had enough

Went to the edge

Of the ledge

But I didn't jump

My Life

Will sum it up

You can't

Hold a good

Woman down

You can't hold me

You can't hold me

You can't hold me down

You can't hold me

You can't hold me

You can't hold me

You can't hold

A good woman down

You can't hold me

You can't hold me

You can't hold me down

You can't hold me

You can't hold me

You can't hold me

You can't hold

A good woman down

You can't hold me

You can't hold me

You can't hold me

You can't hold me

You can't hold me

You can't hold me

You can't hold

A good woman down

You can't hold me

You can't hold me

You can't hold me

You can't hold me

You can't hold me

You can't hold me

You can't hold

A good woman down
