I want her to feel it in her chest
I want her to feel it in her soul
I want her to lose control
Mary, talk to 'em

[Mary J. Blige]
I
Yeah
I
You takin' a part of me
That I cannot set free
See me lettin' go
No this ain't the time
I got too much livin' to do
And I can't lose it over you
So give me the flow
I'll get my swagger goin'
I'll say this is the year for me

You makin it so damn hard
For me to love you
You makin it so damn hard
For me to love you
You makin it so damn hard
For me to love you
You makin it so damn hard
For me to love you

[Diddy]
I know I make it hard to love me
But trust me
I could take you to places
That you ain't never been
Put you in purple labels
And that ferroin
Get your name engraved
On a weaderin
I'ma love you better
More than I ever did
Cause baby girl listen
Since you been here with me
Can't even lie
See the rider and your ambition
Providin' me with the fire
When you wet and drippin'
Mama if you see if you different
Go 'head and get it
And I ain't sayin' if you leave me
It'd be better
But me and you together
Honey we could do whatever
Let's do it
I made it hard
I admit it it's true
I need to hear somethin'
I'm listenin' boo

[Mary J. Blige]
Make that sure things that do
I'm prepared to take it there for you
Your lovin' kissin'
It's amazin'
But it ain't enough
So I keep askin'
I stay around
For one, split the cheese
Admire it for what it is

[Diddy]
I know I'm hard to love
Let's rock

[Mary J. Blige]
You makin it so damn hard
For me to love you
You makin it so damn hard
For me to love you
You makin it so damn hard
For me to love you
You makin it so damn hard
For me to love you
You makin it so damn hard
For me to love you
You makin it so damn hard
For me to love you
You makin it so damn hard
For me to love you
You makin it so damn hard
For me to love you

[Diddy]
Lemme talk to you one more time girl
You always sayin' that I don't want you to hurt
You always complainin'
But I was makin' it worse
Besides all the games that I's kickin' at first
It's time to explain
My mind's been in reverse
But now I think back
When nobody cared
And you was there
Just to roll by your man
And came back
Even know what I did
I realize and I'm aware
I know what it is
Put that on everything
Girl you my everything
I don't know where I'd be
Cause you the air I be
If lovin' is wrong
Who could be right
I wouldn't know what to do
Without you in my life
You're more to me than the world I pray
The more nights for your heart to break
Right in the middle of the dawn of day
I think of all the pain I caused
And throw it away and say
I need you in my life
Can you feel it in your soul

[Mary J. Blige]
You makin it so damn hard
For me to love you
You makin it so damn hard
For me to love you
You makin it so damn hard
For me to love you
You makin it so damn hard
For me to love you

[Diddy]
I know it's hard to love me
That don't mean I don't love you
Hey rich
I love the way you got Harlem singin'
Mary take us home

[Mary J. Blige]
You makin it so damn hard
For me to love you
You makin it so damn hard
For me to love you
You makin it so damn hard
For me to love you
You makin it so damn hard
For me to love you

[Diddy]
She the queen of hip-hop soul

[Mary J. Blige]

Yeah You Are

Diddy

Sean “Diddy” Combs (also known as Puff Daddy, Puffy, Sean John, and P. Diddy) is a recording artist, record producer, entrepreneur, and actor from Harlem, New York.

He started in the music business as an intern and talent director at Uptown Records under his mentor Andre Harrell. While at Uptown, Puffy helped launch the careers of R&B superstars Jodeci and Mary J. Blige. After he was fired from Uptown, Puff started his Bad Boy Entertainment label in 1993 as a joint venture with Clive Davis' Arista Records. His first artists were Craig Mack and The Notorious B.I.G., with Mack releasing the hit “Flava In Ya Ear” before Biggie hit with his Ready To Die album. Following their success, Puff went on to sign successful R&B artists such as Faith Evans, 112, and Total, as well as rappers Ma$e and The LOX.

Puff Daddy was an in-demand producer, working with acts such as Usher, TLC, Jay-Z, Lil Kim, and Boyz II Men among others before he decided to become an artist himself. He released his first album, No Way Out on July 1, 1997, a few months after Biggie was killed in Los Angeles on March 9th. The single “I’ll Be Missing You” was created as a tribute—it debuted at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and topped the chart for 11 weeks. The album was a multi-platinum success and won the Best Rap Album Grammy Award in 1998.
