[Spoken Verse: Mary J. Blige & H.E.R.]
So, so I got this concept for this, right? (Mmm)
It's, it's like how I finally got a chance to say I'm amazing
I never said that in my life about myself, ever (Mmm)
I never thought it
But just recently in my life, I was like I'm amazing 'cause God said I'm amazing, I'm amazing
So, what I started doing along with that
Like, when I was going through all this bad shit in my life
I started waking up and saying, "Good morning, gorgeous"
Mmm, I like that
No matter what I was doing
No matter what I was going through
I look in the mirror, hungover, not hungover, mad, not mad, whatever
Always going through something and because of the thing playing in my head
About, you know, the way the person was chipping at me and tearing me down, tearing me down
And making me look at myself like I wasn't enough
And I just gave up and I just wanna say, "Good morning, gorgeous"
Wow, I love that
You should start the song off like that, I love everything...
That's the song

Mary J. Blige

Mary Jane Blige (b. Jan 11 1971) grew up in the projects of Yonkers, New York. A random decision to record a cover of “Caught Up in the Rapture” by Anita Baker in a pop-up recording booth at a mall led MJB to getting signed by Uptown Entertainment. After providing background vocals on Father MC’s hit single “I’ll Do 4 U” in 1990, a young intern at Uptown named Sean “Puffy” Combs ended up executive producing Mary’s 1992 debut album What’s The 411?. Fusing hip-hop beats with Mary’s soulful voice earned her the nickname “Queen of Hip-Hop Soul”.

She followed up her debut with a string of critically acclaimed albums, including 1994’s My Life and 1997’s Share My World, as well as hit singles such as “Not Gon' Cry,” “Family Affair,” “Be Without You,” and “Just Fine.”

She also collaborated with rappers on a number of tracks, including Jay-Z’s “Can’t Knock the Hustle,” Ghostface Killah’s “All That I Got is You,” Wyclef’s “911,” Common’s “Come Close,” and Method Man’s “I’ll Be There for You/All I Need to Get By,” which was a platinum hit and won the two of them a Grammy Award in 1996 for Best Rap Performance By a Duo or Group.
