“Stay Down”
April 16, 2008
That’s a song off of the new Mary J Blige album and the words just speak to me. It can apply to so many different things in my life right now. Things that are moving, things that are ending and hopefully things that I will get through and which hopefully will ”pass the test”. It may not be true word for word in every instance but the song for now just touches my heart in a very special way. I just cant seem to get it out of my head and I dont think I have heard it without actually teering up. ( ouch I admit it) Hey but trust me I know others who have done the same – Seen them in person so you cant make fun of me and anyway if you do ” I don’t really care!”
If you dont know the song you need to go hear it - She definitely has to be one of the most “real women” out there. Dont know why, it’s just her persona — She totally rocks!!
and I wouldn’t usually do this but I am almost compelled by a force beyond me to put these lyrics up. So if you are so lazy that you cant go find the song online keep reading …
My goal is to get this tune stuck in as many heads as possible, so I dont suffer with “tunehead” by myself- it’s much better with the music though…….:)

Did ya know(x7) (and I want you.)
I’ll admit things aint been the way I thought they would be.
Didn’t expect so much stress to develop between me and you.
I knew that it wasn’t easy but sometimes when we fight it don’t seem like God’s design ,
But then I hear words you said and I promise I would stand for you and be true throughout the bad and the good.
And I know what it means to be committed.
So here’s a word for you , but you just sing with it..
(Stay Down) We’re almost to the very best part.
(Stay Down) You’ll always be the pride of my heart.
(Stay Down) We too can past the test
(Stay Down) Yeah we got a lot of work.
(Stay Down) I know it ain’t been the best but it certainly ain’t been the worst.
(Stay Down) The drama will not last forever (stay down) we’ll beat it as long as we’re together.
One day we’ll look back on this , we’ll be like ‘remember this?’ and it’s gonna make us smile ’cause in the end we stayed down..
I ain’t gonna lie , at times you amaze me.
You be talking and I sware that you’re crazy but,
I learned a long time ago that pride don’t help , it only hurts.
And I just want you to know ,
I need ya baby (I need you)
I’m just like Weezy baby , not Weezy like the rapper baby but the wife of George , and we’re moving on up.
10 years strong and we’re looking like a plan.
Im looking like your woman and you’re looking like my man.
[ Stay Down lyrics found on http://www.completealbumlyrics.com ]
We looking like real and the haters look fake ,
Especially when they hear me say..
(Stay Down) We’re almost to the very best part.
(Stay Down) You’ll always have a place in my heart.
(Stay Down) We too can past the test
(Stay Down) Ya know we got a lot of work.
(Stay Down) I know it ain’t been the best but it certainly ain’t been the worst.
(Stay Down) The drama will not last forever (stay down) we’ll beat it as long as we’re together.
One day we’ll look back on this , we’ll be like ‘remember this?’ and it’s gonna make us smile ’cause in the end we stayed down..
(Understand you are the one in my heart) And I’m holding on so we can’t live apart.
(When things stop making sense we’ll figure it out) I walked into this and I don’t wanna walk out no , no.
Everything ain’t gonna be how we like and what is worth keeping if it didn’t take a fight?
Your healing is in me (me)
Amd my healing is in you (you)
So get your mind right , ’cause here’s what we gonna do..
(Stay Down) We’re almost to the very best part.
(Stay Down) You’ll always be the pride of my heart.
(Stay Down) We too can past the test
(Stay Down) Ya know we got a lot of work.
(Stay Down) I know it ain’t been the best but it certainly ain’t been the worst.
(Stay Down) The drama will not last forever (stay down) we’ll beat it as long as we’re together.
One day we’ll look back on this , we’ll be like ‘remember this?’ and it’s gonna make us smile ’cause in the end we stayed down..
Did ya know(x7) (that I love you)
