[Verse 1: Busta Rhymes]
I said baby girl, lighting up the room like the light's up
You excite a nigga 'til you got me feeling niced up
Everything about it feels amazing, spiced up
Hot and steamy like my mother cooked a little rice up
See that 20 karats, please get it priced up
I'm past that girlfriend shit baby, wifed up
Elevated feeling like we going a couple flights up
Next level, with a hope you ain't afraid of heights
What?
Skyscrapers take it higher
Even got a helicopter on the roof waiting for a small fire
And add flame to the spark
And let us ride up to heavens to the next level, let me do my part

[Verse 2]
[Mary J. Blige:]
It feels like your hands were designed to be on my body

[Pre-Chorus:]
So if it's cool with you
I'm a tell my girls go out tonight, without me
Got thing's to do with you
Let's bring the party to the house tonight
Cause tonight I'm ready, yeah

[Hook]
I'd rather play with my baby
I think it's time that me and him go to the next level
Uh, I'm gon' love him like crazy
I hope he's ready cause we gonna go to the next level

[Verse 3: Busta Rhymes]
Baby ain't nothing left to do but rock on
Want a G5 to the next level, hop on
[Mary J. Blige:]
Let's go to the next level
[Busta Rhymes:]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, alright
I love it when we're in the bed and we cuddle
Or you riding out with me like we on a space shuttle
[Mary J. Blige:]
Let's go (yeah) to the next level
[Busta Rhymes:]
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 4]
[Mary J. Blige:]
And I'm OK as long as I got your arms around me
[Busta Rhymes:]
You know I love when I got my arms around you too
[Mary J. Blige:]
I feel free to loose control
[Busta Rhymes:]
Let it go baby
[Mary J. Blige:]
And I was lost in love, so glad that you found me
Cause your love's too good, too just, let go

[Pre-Chorus]
[Hook]

[Verse 5]
Everybody get to putting up your lighter now
Baby girl you see me shining much brighter now, yeah
Fulfilling all of your desires now
Give me a hug, open your arms a little wider now
Damn, you see the feeling we creating
Bottles up, let's make a toast and do a lot of celebrating

Let's go to the next level

[Hook]

Baby come on, let's go
To the next level

[Busta Rhymes:]
I love it when we're in the bed and we cuddle
Or you riding out with me like we on a space shuttle
[Mary J. Blige:]
Let's go, to the next level

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.
