Good Woman Down Lyrics - The Breakthrough - Mary J Blige

[Intro:] 

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

[1st Verse:] 

Been many days 

Couldn't take 

The pain 

Felt like 

I should take 

My life away 

See it everyday 

In every other 

Young sisters face 

(Young sister, sister) 

See'em cryin' out 

Life full of doubt 

Runnin' in the streets 

No self esteem 

Thinkin' that 

Use to be me 

What a shame 

Photos 

[B-Sect:] 

And life 

Is a mutha 

It's hard 

To sit back 

And see 

The same thing 

Happen to me 

Happen to you 

This ain't love 

But here's 

The love 

I wanna give to you 

[Chorus:] 

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 

[2nd Verse:] 

When I use to see 

My daddy beat 

My mother down 

Down to her feet 

I use 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 

[Repeat B-Sect 1x] 

[Repeat Chorus 1x] 

[Bridge:] 

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 

[Repeat Chorus 1x] 

[Vamp:] 

Can't hold me 

Down 

Can't hold me 

Down 

Can't hold me 

Down 

Can't hold me 

Down 

Can't hold me 

Down 

Can't hold me 

Down 

You can't hold me 

Can't hold me 

Down 

Can't hold me 

Down 

Can't hold me 

Down 

Can't hold me 

Down 

Can't hold me 

Down 

Can't hold me 

Down 

You can't hold me 

[Outro:] 

Their you have it 

I'm still with you 

My sisters 

My troubled sisters 

I still have troubles, too 

You're not alone 

I'll always be there 

For you 

Rock on 

You can't hold 

A good woman down
