Mary J Blige - Know Lyrics






(Lord knows, it just ain't fair)
Give me some volume, give me some volume
You know, when hear the word "Queen"
You automatically think of a woman getting everything she wants
But it's not like that at all (At all, at all)
See, being a ruler means sacrifice (Sacrifice, sacrifice)
Most the time, you get less than what you give (What you give)
So every woman and mother in the world is a queen
Because she sacrificed so much (So much, so much, so much)

Gets so lonely sometimes
Times I gotta clear my mind
Can't stop walking on water
Feels like I'm dealing at the altar
Gets so heavy sometimes
Carrying this weight of mine
Looks like the seas are partin'
So I might as well start walkin'

Oh, Lord, Lord, Lord
They just don't know, know, know
How hard I had to go, go, go
To get through, to get through
They just don't know, know, know, know
Know, know, know
How many times I lost (How many times I lost)
Just so I could win (Ooh, yeah)
They just don't know, know, know, know
Oh no, no
How many times I've died (How many times I've died)
Just to live again, oh yeah

When life is coming at me quick, I had to tuck in my emotions
I know He watchin', God, I made it look good, I was chosen
Gone through hell to get to heaven, build a bridge and get over
My snap-back's real, still thick in these jeans
I ain't missing no meals

Oh, Lord, Lord, Lord
They just don't know, know, know
How hard I had to go, go, go
To get through, to get through
They just don't know, know, know, know (Know, know, know)
Know, know, know
How many times I've lost (How many times I've lost)
Just so I could win (Ooh yeah)
They just don't know, know, know, know
Oh no, no
How many times I've died (No, they just don't know)
Just to live again, oh yeah

They just don't know, know, know, know (Know, know, know)
Know, know, know
How many times I've lost (How many times I've lost)
Just so I could win (Ooh yeah)
They just don't know, know, know, know
Oh no, no
How many times I've died (No, they just don't know)
Just to live again, yeah

    I would like to hear a Rapsody verse on this song 🙌🏾💯

  45. Q.... ....

    Thank you Ms. Queen Mary👸🏽 for thinking about the Real Queens out here that actually relate to every lyric and flow of this beautiful song !!! 😍😍😍💝💝💝🔥🔥🔥

    GOD created all women Queens, but not every woman make the executive decision to walk in her Queenship. This is a GOSPEL song with an R n’ B sound that came straight from GOD OUR FATHER to all of HIS Queen 👸🏽 Daughters that are going through, and have come through, only to go through and come through yet again because it is through the afflictions that we learn and grow, draw closer to JESUS CHRIST, gain strength and become trained up as Warriors. FOR WHAT good is a Queen if she’s not trained to be a Warrior in GOD’s Army ?? GOD most certainly has a “thing” about Queens named “Mary” because HE “CHOSE” our Mary to deliver this precious Blessing in song.

    This “Queens’ Anthem” brought me to tears causing me to think about HOW MUCH GOD HAS BROUGHT ME THROUGH while I’m yet going through, only for The POWER of GOD to come to the rescue.....GOD IS GOOD !!!!!!!!✝️✝️✝️💝💝💝♥️♥️♥️🔥🔥🔥😍😍😍🏆🏆🏆🏆🥇🥇🥇

    “Oh, LORD LORD LORD, they just DON’T Know Know Know

    How hard I had to GO GO GO, to get through, to get through

    They just DON’T Know Know Know Know Know Know Know

    How many times I lost just so I could WIN !!!

    They just DON’T Know Know Know Know oh no no

    How many times I’ve died just to live again”

  46. B.... M....

    I wish there was an instrumental but oh well!! This song has been ringing in my ears since it came out. I guess I'll get in the studio and record my version of this as a cover song ONLY!!! They are sleep on my Mary and I want to show tribute to women. We are STRONG beings... Love you my Queen Mary I'll make you happy with the end results!!!!!

  47. l.... b....

    I like this one by her

  48. J.... S....

    When life coming at me crazy had to cut off my emotions..never missing a meal.they just don't know. Love to sing and write. My family is very music based. So keep pushing. No one knows your story but you. Stay blessed love joyfulsingingbird

    They just don’t know how many times I’ve lost just so I could win. How many times I’ve died just to live again... When life was coming at me quick I had to tuck in my emotions.. say that again Queen Mary...

  91. E.... D....

    This song is truly some🔥🔥🔥😍 Even though it's something I can dance & rock to, I'm feeling it because I live it everyday. When you appear to be a whole finished product of a person, people just don't know how hard you have to go to put in work to build yourself daily. All they see is the reward, but they don't understand the struggle of what it took to become the best version of yourself. Big ups for yet ANOTHER banger Mary!

  92. a.... r....

    Amen. We All We Got.

  93. S.... M....

    "They just dont knoooooooooow how many times I lost just so I could win"!!!!!! WOOOOOOOW! 😥😥

    Mary j is truly a queen of R&B

  95. D.... H....

    Listening to this song in the middle of the night. It hits home. Thank you Mary for another hit. I needed this.

  96. D.... K....

    Stay True! Stay Mary!

  97. K.... G....

    The 889 people that thumbed this down just don't "Know know know" good music. Someone should have karate chopped them in the throat for that

    K.... G....
