Doubt

[Intro: Mary J. Blige]

Oooh, ooh, oh, oh

Oooh, ooh, oh, oh

Oooh, ooh, oh, oh

[Verse 1: Mary J. Blige]

They said I’d never be a leader

They said I’d never wear a crown

If I wanted to be someone

I should learn to settle down

[Pre-Chorus 1: Mary J. Blige]

You should know better

I tell myself

You’ll never go further

I warned myself

You’ll never be better

Don’t know me that well

[Chorus 1: Mary J. Blige]

I made it to the end

I nearly paid the cost

I lost a lot of friends

I sacrificed a lot

I’d do it all again

Cause I made it to the top

But I can’t keep doubting myself anymore

No, ooh, oh, oh

No, ooh, oh, oh

I can’t keep doubting myself, no (ooh, oh, oh)

[Verse 2: Mary J. Blige]

Now you’re looking at a leader

Now you’re staring at a queen

You’d said I’d never be someone

But now I’m pulling those strings

[Pre-Chorus 2: Mary J. Blige]

You should know better

Won’t make me back down

You’ll never go further

Can’t turn me around

You’ll never be better

So no stopping me now

[Chorus 2: Mary J. Blige]

I made it to the end

I nearly paid the cost

I lost a lot of friends

I sacrificed a lot

I’d do it all again

Cause I made it to the top

I can’t keep doubting myself anymore

No, no, no, no, ooh, oh, oh

No, ooh, oh, oh

No, ooh, oh, oh

[Bridge: Mary J. Blige]

You think you know

But you don’t know the half

You think you beat me down

But I’ll have the last laugh

I’ll keep getting up

Cause that’s what I want to do

I’m gonna be the best me

I’m sorry if it kills you

[Chorus 2: Mary J. Blige]

I made it to the end

I nearly paid the cost

I lost a lot of friends

I sacrificed a lot

I’d do it all again

Cause I made it to the top

I can’t keep doubting myself anymore

Oooh, no, ooh, no, no, no

I can’t keep doubting myself , no, no

(Oooh, oh, oh)

[Spoken Verse: Sam Smith]

And I remember holding The Breakthrough album

Holding it in my hands, in my car

Listening to it on repeat

To me she was this untouchable goddess

And, and when I met her

I really, really wasn't expecting her

To just be, like me

I feel like we're, we're so similar
