Da MVP lyrics
by 50 Cent



Yeah, let's take 'em back
(Uh huh)

I need a real love
Mary, holler at me
If you need a real thug
We could ride through Compton
And see real Bloods, real Crips
And I'm a always hold you down
That's real shit

I'm the Los Angeles king
And you remind me
Of Mary, the R&B queen

I got the four one one
What's cracking
What I owe you for helping me
Go four times platinum

I add a kid to my life
He almost two
I guess what I'm trying to say
Is thank you

For over ten years
Of the ghetto gospel
You paved the way for
Young black women to prosper

How you paint pictures
You deserve Grammys and Oscars
Congratulations from me
Aftermath and the Doctor

So, niggas
Go ahead and envy me
I'm Billboard's top ten
Featuring MJB

'91, I stepped in this game
After What's The 411
Things ain't been the same

And I can't complain
But with all this fame
Comes a whole lotta pain

But I'm so glad to be here
And my music's still sincere
Let's get back to the story
All of this pain and glory

In '94 was My Life
And my life wasn't right
So I reached out to you and
Told you what I've been through

[CHORUS]
Hate it or love it
The underdog's on top
And I'm gon' shine, homie
Until my heart stop
Go ahead, envy me
I'm the soul hip-hop queen
And I ain't going nowhere
But you already know me

[repeat CHORUS]

Then I came with Share My World
But at that point
I was just a foolish girl
Trying to find my way
Then I dropped the Mary album
And people would say that

It's just not gonna work
And my feelings they did hurt
But my fans showed me so much love
And I owe it all to them

Then I came with No More Drama
I remember that year
It was when Aaliyah died
I coudn't hardly sleep

Thought about it every day
And it made me change my way
I'm a real woman now
Because of all the good days

[repeat CHORUS 2x]

You remind me of a real love
(You don't have to worry)
Real love

All night long
I'm going down
Shoo doo doo.....

Reminisce on the love we had
You are everything
(Love without a limit)
What you gonna do without my love
(My life, my life
My life, my life)

[repeat CHORUS]

Hate it or love it
The underdog's on top
(Hate it or love it, y'all)
And I'm gon' shine, homie
Until my heart stop
(I'm gon' shine right now)

Go ahead envy me (it's my time)
I'm the soul hip-hop queen
And I ain't going nowhere
But you already know me
(Hate it, hate it or love it)

I'm gon', I'm gon' shine now
(I'm gon' shine)
I'm gon', I'm gon' shine, hey

Go ahead, envy me (hey)
I'm soul hip-hop queen (hey)
And I ain't going nowhere
(Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)
But you already know me

Right now I just wanna thank
Dr.Dre, 50 Cent and The Game
For picking such a hot record
I thank y'all

Shout out to Cool and Dre
For making the track
It's hot
