Mary J. Blige - The Living Proof lyrics

It's gonna be a long long journey It's gonna be an uphill climb It's gonna be a tough fight There's gonna be some lonely nights But I'm ready to carry on I'm so glad the worst is over (Cuz it almost took me out) I can start living now Ooh, I feel like I can do anything And finally I'm not afraid to breathe Anything you say to me And everything you do You can't deny the truth Cuz I'm the living proof So many don't survive They just don't make it through But look at me, oh I'm the living proof Oh, yes I am Thinkin' 'bout life's been painful (Yes it was) Took awhile to learn how to smile So now I'm gonna talk to my people, oh oh About the storm, oh About the storm, oh So glad the worst is over (Cuz it's all beneath me now) I can start flying now, oh ho My best days are right in front of me Yet I'm almost there Cuz now I'm free, oh Anything you say to me And everything you do You can't deny the truth Cuz I'm the living proof So many don't survive They just don't make it through But look at me, oh I'm the living proof I know where I'm going, oh Cuz I know where I've been, oh oh I got a few stars that's showin' (Hey) I'mma stay strong keep going That's the way that I'll win Anything you say to me And everything you do (Everything you do) You can't deny the truth Cuz I'm the living proof So many don't survive They just don't make it through But look at me, yeah I'm the living proof Nothing ‘bout my life's been easy But nothing's gonna keep me down, no, down, no Cuz I know a lot more today And I know yesterday So I'm ready to carry on
