Thriving Lyrics - Mary J Blige

Look what I did, I made history 

They don't know what to do with me 

Ain't lookin' back, keepin' it movin' 

I know exactly how to do this 

Keep smilin', make 'em wild out 

Stay loud, don't dumb it down 

Hold my crown up to the sky 

Hold your crown up to the sky 

Hey, time for us to go and get the money, y'all 

Floodgates open, gonna take it all 

I am a diamond 'cause of pressure 

The bigger the trial, bigger the blessin' 

No we're not just survivin', yeah we're thrivin' over here 

All those sad songs don't break me, just gave me a record deal 

Ooh, ooh 

We're not just survivin', yeah we're thrivin' over here (Oh, oh)

You see, I'm on a mission (Yeah) 

Ain't no baggage weighin' me down (No) 

Had to get out my feelings (Ooh)

Smile, make 'em wild out 

Stay loud, don't dumb it down

Photos 

We're here for a good time, not a long time 

And no bad vibe is gon' spoil mine 

No such thing as the right time or wrong time 

We don't do small time, we do royal time 

I picture myself here as a small guy 

Switched up gears from Nasty Nas and Nasir like 

Cassius Clay to Ali, the greatest of all time 

Financial page, my name in New York Times 

Incredible milestones forever 

It's set-in-stone, MJB the letters 

Everybody that try to violate, we beat 'em for God's sake 

Never mind that I'm reachin' my prime the second time, that's great 

In record time, stop the hate 

And love your life, fix your crown up straight 

I dodged bullets and jail time and kept drivin' 

Stood tall through it all, keep thrivin' 

No we're not just survivin', yeah we're thrivin' over here 

(Yeah, we're thrivin' over here) 

All those sad songs don't break me, just gave me a record deal 

(All those sad songs, they didn't break me, no) 

Ooh, ooh 

We're not just survivin', yeah we're thrivin' over here (Oh, oh) 

So whatever you want, go get it, go get it (Oh, so whatever) 

I swear, whatever, it's yours, go get it, go get it (Oh, it's yours) 

Joy and peace, hope for sure, go get it, go get it (Joy and peace, hopin', oh) 

I swear, whatever, it's yours (It's yours), go get it (It's yours) 

No we're not just survivin', yeah we're thrivin' over here 

(Yeah, we're thrivin' over here) 

All those sad songs don't break me, just gave me a record deal 

(All those sad songs, they didn't break me, no) 

Ooh, ooh 

We're not just survivin', yeah we're thrivin' over here (Oh, oh)
