I overcame heroine addiction I have over 3 years clean in recovery today was bullied and beaten down everyday hurt and backstab plus had adusive relationships today I'm a stronger person.
This song is the story of my life. One day I woke up and decided, "I don't need no one to put me down I'm on the ground, can't get no lower And I don't need no one to hang around and make me frown just makes me look older And I don't need no one to black my eye and tell me lies Don't wanna cry over nobody else No, no, no, no, I can do bad all by myself," so packed up and left with two children. That was 30 years ago. Never looked back.
I listen to this song so much sometimes it have me crying an sometimes it doesn't. But I will never give up in life I'm blessed buy the bless an that Jesus his self. I been on lower Wacker drive homeless an everything.☺️☺️☺️☺️
This song has pulled me through some especially hard times, but none harder than finding out I'm pregnant at 17. I play this whenever I start to lose hope.
Baby girl keep him first and always remember misery loves company. What I mean by that when the negative comes listen to this song so much truth and life lessons. Love you 1st know that you are beautiful and wonderful. I am far from 17 however it took me to be in my late 30's to start knowing my self worth. God always has you
"they're telling me the grass might just be greener on the other side but I don't wanna take a chance on dirt when I got grass even though the grass has died" 😢😢
Somebody told me once That pain is a game we all gotta play Then why am I in overtime And sudden death every other day I know that for the good of life There's a price we all gotta pay But I'll pay 'till I'm poor and I still don't know What it is to have a good day Since everybody knows what it is that I need to do Well do me a favor, Let me worry 'bout me And you worry 'bout you I don't need no one to put me down I'm on the ground, can't get no lower And I don't need no one to hang around an' make me frown Just makes me look older And I don't need no one to black my eye An' tell me lies Don't wanna cry over nobody else I can do bad all by myself Somebody told me once that runnin' from the rain don't make no sense I had my own dark cloud For awhile now, It goes where ever I'm goin' You're tellin' me the grass might be greener on the other side But I don't wanna take a chance on dirt When I got grass Even though the grass has died Since everybody knows what it is that I need to do Well do me a favor, Let me worry 'bout me And you worry 'bout you I don't need no one to put me down I'm on the ground, can't get no lower And I don't need no one to hang around an' make me frown Just makes me look older And I don't need no one to black my eye An' tell me lies Don't wanna cry over nobody else I can do bad all by myself Don't waste time feelin' bad for me I didn't ask you for your sympathy I know God is watchin' over me So I guess this is where I'm suppose to be I don't need no one to put me down I'm on the ground, can't get no lower And I don't need no one to hang around an' make me frown Just makes me look older And I don't need no one to black my eye An' tell me lies Don't wanna cry over nobody else I can do bad And I don't need no one to put me down I'm on the ground, can't get no lower And I don't need no one to hang around an' make me frown Just makes me look older And I don't need no one to black my eye An' tell me lies Don't wanna cry over nobody, nobody, nobody else Cause I can do bad all by myself But enjoy!!
I thought being single was the scariest thing in the world until I was put in the situation to experience it.When I was sick and tired of exactly what Mary is singing about I then decided to deal with me, allow God to work on me and I then realized that I was never alone.
Facts...the wrong person will make you feel sooo bad about lifes changes some times unintentional sometimes intentional...sometimes being alone doing the work on u in the KEY
Emotional abuse is equally as terrible and testifying,. Bruises heal, not to diminish anyone's pain, but two nervous breakdowns later, psychiatrists , counseling, and stents in mental health programs almost made me walk away from God. Yes, it's all my fault, according to him. I walked away five years ago. I don't hate him. But, I'm over it now. And, I'm still standing.
18 years old with 2 kids & their daddy left us after being beaten... I thought I was going to have to do this all alone but I prayed to god to help us he sent me my husband & ive never been happier with anyone. Me & my babies finally have peace & happiness❤️❤️ GOD IS GOOD!!!
Man this hits home in the deepest of ways. Only difference is that my pain came from my family. It would be a beautiful thing to have true love and unity from your tribe but let's not forget one vital thing.. there is no rule that is written in spiritual blood that says that the family that we were born into has to accept and love us. My acceptance came from non blood friends. We share a love and acceptance of one another that no blood family could ever compare to. Love does not come from blood.. it is born and cultivated within the heart. This is as real as it gets. Can anyone relate and understand my words? I smile and I am loved and my world is graced with peace.
+Randy Tate Yes I can. My family did not accept me when I came out. I was 18 then, now I'm 50. It took some time, but they finally came to understand my life was not their fault, or something they did or didn't do, I was born this way. I love my family and they love me for me. I also have a large extended family of people who love me for me
I've never heard this song on the radio. A shame. My favorite Mary J song. .....sometimes family can abuse and take advantage of you much worse than strangers and enemies. This song helps me to rise above the nonsense. Thanks Mary
I love this song. It hits me every time I hear it. I wish it was in Spanish. My family always asks why I cry when I hear it. I hope they hear it in Spanish and understand the B/S I'm going through one day. 😒
Sometimes we have to break our own heart temporarily to stop somebody else from breaking our heart for a lifetime. It's hard to walk away from someone we love, we would fight for, we would risk it all for...but when "We" is just you, and they don't desire the responsibility of doing the work, we have to respect their right and our life.
Yes!! Exactly, I was doing everything in my relationship with my partner of 5yrs and after he graduated nursing school he broke up with me, paying for all his shit and he just never gave me the effort or time
Mmmmm Ohh ohh Ah yea Ah ah yea [Verse 1] Somebody told me once that pain is a game we all gotta play. Then why am I in overtime and sudden death every other day. I know that for the good of life there's a price we all gotta pay But I'll pay till I'm poor and I still don't know what it is to have a good day, yeah Since everybody knows what it is that I need to do. Well do me a favor, let me worry bout me and you worry bout you. [Chorus:] I don't need no one to put me down, I'm on the ground, can't get no lower. And I don't need no one to hang around and make me frown just makes me look older. And I don't need no one to black my eye and tell me lies Don't wanna cry over nobody else No no no no I can do bad all by myself [Verse 2] Somebody told me once that running from the rain don't make no sense. I had my own dark cloud for awhile now, it goes where ever I'm going, yeah They're telling me the grass just might be greener on the other side. But I don't wanna take a chance on dirt when I got grass even though the grass has died. Oh since everybody knows what it is that I need to do, Well do me a favor, let me worry bout me and you worry bout you [Chorus] [Bridge:] Don't waste time feeling bad for me I didn't ask you for your sympathy No I know God is watching over me So I guess this is where I'm suppose to be Ohh yes [Chorus to the end]
It's wrong my life has been exactly the words to this song and I've lived it 42yrs of my existence. Where is the love, joy the Bible promised. I'm no longer a believer. I just love right and treat people respectfully, that's all I got.
My mother was a single mother for 16 years and me and my lil bro always took her for ganted, I'm now 17 and I can finally see my mom was battling so much. She WON against cancer, and I never even knew, she is raising 2 kids (me and my borther) with no child support from either one of our dead beat fathers. My mom works 12 hour shifts almost everyday. I never knew how strong my mom was until now. And this song always reminds me of her because this song defines her life so much. My mom is now married happily and still working her ass of to provide for me and my bother and step siblings. I'm 17 and finally just starting to see how Incredible black women (mothers) truly our. I am glade to have a mom like mine. Thanks for hearing my story, and thanks to everyone who contributed to this song. It truly did change my view on single mothers.
Never really cared for Mary, till I saw "I Can Do Bad All By Myself". Now iI listen to her music, and like her. Sing it Sister!!!!!!!!!!!! We all have been there in one way or another. Bless those who have gotten out and help those who have not.
I've been diagnosed with CFS/ME a disabling disease that involves fatigue, everyone tells me I'm lazy and need to exercise, I can listen to this song 1thousand times
Lori Favela ....this song is what I needed right now. I have Fibromyalgia a illness that has no cure or treatments for. I hear it all the time what I should or shouldn't do from people that do not have it, they do not know how this feels and how fake cures I have ran to ...and did not work ...some think I am just being negative, I wish that was it, 12 years sick. I can do bad all by myself that is for sure
the story of my life. this song is why I let all negativity leave my life. it's not worth your health and happiness to hold on to something/someone God is telling you to let go of. I CAN do bad all by myself, but I'd rather do good with God.
Don't need no one to put me down, the ground can get no lower... don't need no one to black my eye and tell me lies don't wanna rock ova, nobody else. I can do bad all by myself. Deep lyrics, especially if you went through some madness like the words in this song.
This song breaks my heart & gives me strength at the same time. I've replied before. This could have been the greatest soundtrack ever. Unfortunately, the different recording companies of all the artists of this movie couldn't let that happen.
So thankful to be hearing this song for the first time watching Tyler Perry's movie "I Can Do Bad All By Myself." Love Mary J Blige. Been through what she has ... going through the divorce now w/PO. Became a domestic violence advocate as a result of the 5 year marriage to a man that almost took my life. Who was he the day before I met him? Broke 4 ribs pillowcase over my face w/a loaded thing in my mouth four-strangulations and butcher knife pulled on me all in under 10 minutes. But my God was with me as He promised ... "No weapon formed against me will prosper..." (Isa 54:17) and "Greater is He that's in me then he that's in the world." (1 Jn 4:4). "Thy Word is truth!" (Jn 17:17). 1 in 3 women are a victim of domestic violence ... God set my feet on a path to help such women to be free of such maniacs. It is written... "The Lord tests the righteous and the wicked, and the one who loves violence His soul hates." (Psalm 11:5). Stay strong any of you who are oppressed and suffering under the hands I'm an abusive man. Keep praying to God, and know ... He is with the oppressed. (Ps 9:9) Amen.
How in God's name could 202 people give this a thumbs down vote? Personally I think they missed the whole point of music. To have a band of great musicians mix with an incredible talent straight from God Himself like Mary J. Blige pour out her soul like this so it just grabs you by the soul. Man. I guess I really liked this song! Dang!
Ive been dealing with a very abusive husband. Not physical... Mental and emotional. I have been diagnosed with major depression and severe anxiety. My husband does not support me. He blames me for everything and emotionally abuses me by asking me to engage in sexual activity with other men. This song gives me hope and strength. Love u Mary J.
That is just as bad as physical abuse. I've been through it all but I finally woke up and left those men abused me. Yes you heard that MEN. Yes it happens because we find ourselves going back into the same relationship. But I never went back once I left. Life is to precious and to short to waste.
I just went to a Mary J concert with my husband 2 months ago. I have loved her for as long as I can remember. There is NOTHING that compares to seeing this incredible woman perform live!!! "Artists" today, don't sing with the passion that Mary does. Just amazing!
I rewatched this movie 2 days ago .. now being 28yrs old .. no kids and struggling with weed & alcohol addiction 😩 • • This movie hit differ and this song BROKE ME … smh 🤦🏾♀️ I see so much of April in myself and I’m just PRAYING god delivers me 🙏🏾🥺
Amen I can definitely relate to this song 😢and it took me a really really long time but I’ve come to a point in my life were I’m finally saying “NO MORE!!!” Ive lost so many people in my life my daddy sister my precious mother from cancer my sister suffering from severe memory loss dementia and diabetes I’ve lost so many people that as humans are the world to us and we have no other choice but to except their passing away and illness but NO ONE AND I MEAN NO ONE HAS TO EXCEPT THE DISRESPECT VERBAL AND PHYSICALLY ABUSE OF ANYONE IN MY CASE A FAMILY MEMBER WHO I FELT THAT THEY WERE THE ONLY PERSON I HAVE HERE IN MY LIFE LIVING IN PHILADELPHIA BY MYSELF I RATHER BE ALONE THAN SUMMIT MY SELF TO AN UNHEALTHY RUDE BAD ATTITUDE AND SO VERY VERY TOXIC ATTITUDE AND PERSON AS THIS SONG GOES. “ I CAN DO BETTER ALL BY MY SELF AND WHEN YOU HAVE GOD IN YOUR HEART AND SOUL WE ARE NOT ALONE KEEP THAT FAITH IN GOD AND HE SEES HEARS AND WILL ALWAYS BE RIGHT BY OUR SIDE BLESSINGS TO ALL 🙏🏻😇❤️💯
I am going through a divorce nowadays, and I still love her so much! This song helps me so much! God! I m feeling so lonely. Thank you Tyler Perry for making this movie! God bless you!!!
Kenan Ustunisik You can get through it! Keep God and family around you. You're never alone! Plus people in the comments will always have encouragement for you!😘❤️💪🏾
I have a lot of medical problems and had to have back surgery last August and then had a heart attack in March. People always have their opinions about what i should do but only God knows what I truly go through. This song sums up all my feelings about those people's opinions
This song hits home, people look and say good things but they find out you got medical conditions and change up, I been living with Crohn's for over 20+ yrs now, it's hard enough to be in a relationship, but when you get older most don't wanna deal with it, and say nasty things to you, this song is a reminder that it is still some good women and people left, now found out I also have kidney disease
I don’t need no one to tell me how to control my self because one day when I’m grown they go see me working harder and harder 👊🏽👊🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🤞🏽 and GOD is GOOD
Jesus take control of my situation my heart is broken my soul is crushed and I don't know how much longer I can go on please meet me where I am. In Jesus name I pray amen
I am in a situation,and this song hit so close to home SMH when my little brother told me to listen to this song♥️I did not realize how bad it actually was😢I guess when you are on the outside looking in ,you can see thing's much more clearly!!!
My daughter passed of cancer, 41 years young. Mom passed 2 years before, in between this devorce, 23 years, I fought cancer 2013. I'm still here for a reason, hit by car 2 times, I shouldn't even be here...not to have my daughter has broken me. Anyone, please pray for me. I know there's always someone worse than me, but we are human and it hurts.
Love your music Mary j blige thanks for that sounds so true u have a beautiful voice u also are beautiful lady keep it up mary one love my sister bless up angle Jenny from st Vincent West indies
I got my Apartment today his face went to a frown, gonna do me this time I'm breaking my vicious cycle I been in all my life. I'm taking me back and never loose myself to another man again. Amen Thank you Jesus for giving me the strength I need
I've always said that vocal wise, she may not be the best agility and range wise, but her ability to make you feel her music is something that every other singer doesn't have.
Its Sept 2023 and i still think MJB Should buy the rights to this single from Malted Milk.. She SLAYED the original. If she released this version today it will hit billboard! Shout out to Malted Milk and Mr Green!
So has anyone actually watched this movie?? Seriously God Bless Tyler Perry and Mary J..... just saw her at Madison Square and she killed it... so good

Listening to this song bring back remembers of my past relationship wasn't good physical and verbal abuse from my exes I am very bless that I was able to get out of the relationships alive
I've been a fan of mary j blige since 94!and she still going strong and i listen to her and i can hear the prayer and worship in her music,I love her and always will.She knows what song you need to hear at the right time! She's Gifted and blessed by God to encourage you to still run this race call faith.She have her breakthrough.some time it take others a little longer to believe in self.That's. why i love her.And If Jesus. can change her! He do the same for all womens who are in the struggle we call life.Please. Mary keep doing what your doing baby girl! we need you to express how we feel through your God given telent!
I love this song it's so true it hurts thinking about my situation but the Lord will reveal everything in his timing once i know i can't go back not knowing i must remember that everything happens for a reason and all things work out for the good for those who love the Lord he always warn us first before anything thank u Lord for loving me amen

“Don’t waste time feeling bad for me, I didn’t ask you for your sympathy.”

This song is the story of my life. One day I woke up and decided, "I don't need no one to put me down
I'm on the ground, can't get no lower
And I don't need no one to hang around and make me frown just makes me look older
And I don't need no one to black my eye and tell me lies
Don't wanna cry over nobody else
No, no, no, no, I can do bad all by myself," so packed up and left with two children. That was 30 years ago. Never looked back.

This song in 2024 still has so much meaning...
Somebody told me once
That pain is a game we all gotta play
Then why am I in overtime
And sudden death every other day
I know that for the good of life
There's a price we all gotta pay
But I'll pay 'till I'm poor and I still don't know
What it is to have a good day
Since everybody knows what it is that I need to do
Well do me a favor,
Let me worry 'bout me
And you worry 'bout you
I don't need no one to put me down
I'm on the ground, can't get no lower
And I don't need no one to hang around an' make me frown
Just makes me look older
And I don't need no one to black my eye
An' tell me lies
Don't wanna cry over nobody else
I can do bad all by myself
Somebody told me once that runnin' from the rain don't make no sense
I had my own dark cloud
For awhile now,
It goes where ever I'm goin'
You're tellin' me the grass might be greener on the other side
But I don't wanna take a chance on dirt
When I got grass
Even though the grass has died
Since everybody knows what it is that I need to do
Well do me a favor,
Let me worry 'bout me
And you worry 'bout you
I don't need no one to put me down
I'm on the ground, can't get no lower
And I don't need no one to hang around an' make me frown
Just makes me look older
And I don't need no one to black my eye
An' tell me lies
Don't wanna cry over nobody else
I can do bad all by myself
Don't waste time feelin' bad for me
I didn't ask you for your sympathy
I know God is watchin' over me
So I guess this is where I'm suppose to be
I don't need no one to put me down
I'm on the ground, can't get no lower
And I don't need no one to hang around an' make me frown
Just makes me look older
And I don't need no one to black my eye
An' tell me lies
Don't wanna cry over nobody else
I can do bad
And I don't need no one to put me down
I'm on the ground, can't get no lower
And I don't need no one to hang around an' make me frown
Just makes me look older
And I don't need no one to black my eye
An' tell me lies
Don't wanna cry over nobody, nobody, nobody else
Cause I can do bad all by myself
But enjoy!!
Mary J doesn't play!!! Listen to the word in this song, I am 62yrs old, and Mary J taking me to school, She rocked this score!!
The scene when she was singing the song, had me crying. Because I could see the pain, April was carrying. 😔

It makes me cry too because I think about my granddaughter who ended up taking her own life.

Right
Sometimes we have to break our own heart temporarily to stop somebody else from breaking our heart for a lifetime. It's hard to walk away from someone we love, we would fight for, we would risk it all for...but when "We" is just you, and they don't desire the responsibility of doing the work, we have to respect their right and our life.
Right.

Then why am I in overtime and sudden death every other day.
I know that for the good of life there's a price we all gotta pay
But I'll pay till I'm poor and I still don't know what it is to have a good day, yeah
Since everybody knows what it is that I need to do.
Well do me a favor, let me worry bout me and you worry bout you.
[Chorus:]
I don't need no one to put me down,
I'm on the ground, can't get no lower.
And I don't need no one to hang around and make me frown just makes me look older.
And I don't need no one to black my eye and tell me lies
Don't wanna cry over nobody else
No no no no I can do bad all by myself
[Verse 2]
Somebody told me once that running from the rain don't make no sense.
I had my own dark cloud for awhile now, it goes where ever I'm going, yeah
They're telling me the grass just might be greener on the other side.
But I don't wanna take a chance on dirt when I got grass even though the grass has died.
Oh since everybody knows what it is that I need to do,
Well do me a favor, let me worry bout me and you worry bout you
[Chorus]
[Bridge:]
Don't waste time feeling bad for me
I didn't ask you for your sympathy
No I know God is watching over me
So I guess this is where I'm suppose to be
Ohh yes
[Chorus to the end]
It takes my breath when Mary puts this much of herself in a song.. God touches us all when she sings.
Amen 🙏 🙏
This was THE Tyler Perry song for me growing up.
It's wrong my life has been exactly the words to this song and I've lived it 42yrs of my existence. Where is the love, joy the Bible promised. I'm no longer a believer. I just love right and treat people respectfully, that's all I got.
My mother was a single mother for 16 years and me and my lil bro always took her for ganted, I'm now 17 and I can finally see my mom was battling so much. She WON against cancer, and I never even knew, she is raising 2 kids (me and my borther) with no child support from either one of our dead beat fathers. My mom works 12 hour shifts almost everyday. I never knew how strong my mom was until now. And this song always reminds me of her because this song defines her life so much. My mom is now married happily and still working her ass of to provide for me and my bother and step siblings. I'm 17 and finally just starting to see how Incredible black women (mothers) truly our. I am glade to have a mom like mine. Thanks for hearing my story, and thanks to everyone who contributed to this song. It truly did change my view on single mothers.

@@chi-chi9437 thank u.
Never really cared for Mary, till I saw "I Can Do Bad All By Myself". Now iI listen to her music, and like her. Sing it Sister!!!!!!!!!!!! We all have been there in one way or another. Bless those who have gotten out and help those who have not.
Amen
Bless us all!
Thomas George shes the bomb, darn listen to her voice, it has POWER IN IT!!!
I felt the same too though I never been in situations as these, I have notice family and friends going through battered and bruised.
You should watch the video for no more drama live. It was shortly after 9/11. She nailed it.
This song is for everyone!
Should’ve garnered a Grammy!❤
I've been diagnosed with CFS/ME a disabling disease that involves fatigue, everyone tells me I'm lazy and need to exercise, I can listen to this song 1thousand times
OMG I love this song..
God will help you
:hug:
will lift you in prayer hunnie
you'll get through this
Lori Favela ....this song is what I needed right now. I have Fibromyalgia a illness that has no cure or treatments for. I hear it all the time what I should or shouldn't do from people that do not have it, they do not know how this feels and how fake cures I have ran to ...and did not work ...some think I am just being negative, I wish that was it, 12 years sick. I can do bad all by myself that is for sure
the story of my life. this song is why I let all negativity leave my life. it's not worth your health and happiness to hold on to something/someone God is telling you to let go of. I CAN do bad all by myself, but I'd rather do good with God.
Don't need no one to put me down, the ground can get no lower... don't need no one to black my eye and tell me lies don't wanna rock ova, nobody else. I can do bad all by myself. Deep lyrics, especially if you went through some madness like the words in this song.
Belkis Martinez "tell me lies, don't wanna cry over nobody else"
Jordan Davis 19 Went This Through Some
This song reminds me when I told someone; misery don't need no damn company, leave that alone. You gotta all summed up in this song.
God put this song in my spirit. I don't wanna go thru this anymore. God's got me
I'm truly better off. I am a woman who can stand on her own two feet!!! Alone and happy.
stillaliveandkicking bitchsImhere Always have been Always will be
I know for a fact that I am! I'm stronger, able to speak up for myself, etc.
Queen
Amen
Yes u do not need to signed for drama in your life
This song breaks my heart & gives me strength at the same time. I've replied before. This could have been the greatest soundtrack ever. Unfortunately, the different recording companies of all the artists of this movie couldn't let that happen.
So thankful to be hearing this song for the first time watching Tyler Perry's movie "I Can Do Bad All By Myself." Love Mary J Blige. Been through what she has ... going through the divorce now w/PO. Became a domestic violence advocate as a result of the 5 year marriage to a man that almost took my life. Who was he the day before I met him? Broke 4 ribs pillowcase over my face w/a loaded thing in my mouth four-strangulations and butcher knife pulled on me all in under 10 minutes. But my God was with me as He promised ... "No weapon formed against me will prosper..." (Isa 54:17) and "Greater is He that's in me then he that's in the world." (1 Jn 4:4). "Thy Word is truth!" (Jn 17:17).
1 in 3 women are a victim of domestic violence ... God set my feet on a path to help such women to be free of such maniacs.
It is written...
"The Lord tests the righteous and the wicked, and the one who loves violence His soul hates." (Psalm 11:5). Stay strong any of you who are oppressed and suffering under the hands I'm an abusive man. Keep praying to God, and know ... He is with the oppressed. (Ps 9:9) Amen.
Am I the only one who likes listening to this song every randomly so often
How in God's name could 202 people give this a thumbs down vote? Personally I think they missed the whole point of music. To have a band of great musicians mix with an incredible talent straight from God Himself like Mary J. Blige pour out her soul like this so it just grabs you by the soul. Man. I guess I really liked this song! Dang!
Ken Cordle agreed
Because people who disliked this weren't doing it in God's name
who still need this song in 2019
Need a concert with this song❤❤❤❤ i don't care if mary j blidge is 70 years old i need a concert😂
Dont wanna cry over nobody else. I can do bad all by myself!!! Amen!!!
Ive been dealing with a very abusive husband. Not physical... Mental and emotional. I have been diagnosed with major depression and severe anxiety. My husband does not support me. He blames me for everything and emotionally abuses me by asking me to engage in sexual activity with other men. This song gives me hope and strength. Love u Mary J.
Janay Daniel leave
Leave and look for a better life u deserve it
Divorce him. You don't have to put up with that. You deserve to be loved, honored, and cherished.
The Almighty be with you
That is just as bad as physical abuse. I've been through it all but I finally woke up and left those men abused me. Yes you heard that MEN. Yes it happens because we find ourselves going back into the same relationship. But I never went back once I left. Life is to precious and to short to waste.
I just went to a Mary J concert with my husband 2 months ago. I have loved her for as long as I can remember. There is NOTHING that compares to seeing this incredible woman perform live!!! "Artists" today, don't sing with the passion that Mary does. Just amazing!
I’m glad y’all had fun
I rewatched this movie 2 days ago .. now being 28yrs old .. no kids and struggling with weed & alcohol addiction 😩

I love this song. I can't believe it wasn't ever released.
It was released in I think the late 90's early 00'
I am going through a divorce nowadays, and I still love her so much! This song helps me so much! God! I m feeling so lonely. Thank you Tyler Perry for making this movie! God bless you!!!
Kenan Ustunisik You can get through it! Keep God and family around you. You're never alone! Plus people in the comments will always have encouragement for you!😘❤️💪🏾
Jordan Davis 19 Making This God am
She sung this song for me....This is real talk
i love it.
!!!!!!
I have a lot of medical problems and had to have back surgery last August and then had a heart attack in March. People always have their opinions about what i should do but only God knows what I truly go through. This song sums up all my feelings about those people's opinions
i’m crying in the closet i need healing 😭
This song hits home, people look and say good things but they find out you got medical conditions and change up, I been living with Crohn's for over 20+ yrs now, it's hard enough to be in a relationship, but when you get older most don't wanna deal with it, and say nasty things to you, this song is a reminder that it is still some good women and people left, now found out I also have kidney disease
I love this song and movie too. the whole cast did a wonderful job on the movie for real ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Somebody needs to make a karaoke out of this song, background vocals and everything. I'd sing the hell out of it.
I don’t need no one to tell me how to control my self because one day when I’m grown they go see me working harder and harder 👊🏽👊🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🤞🏽 and GOD is GOOD
Jesus take control of my situation my heart is broken my soul is crushed and I don't know how much longer I can go on please meet me where I am. In Jesus name I pray amen
Mary J will always be a vibeeee love me some her my fellow capricorn woman ♑️ we can do bad all by ourself 💯💯💯
I so wish this had been released as a single...I go back to it so often
Mary j b is my lady! Always will be!
I am in a situation,and this song hit so close to home SMH when my little brother told me to listen to this song♥️I did not realize how bad it actually was😢I guess when you are on the outside looking in ,you can see thing's much more clearly!!!
Oh so damn true…😢I’m wishing you the very best ❤
I bet if this was a single everyone would be playing this everyday
My daughter passed of cancer, 41 years young. Mom passed 2 years before, in between this devorce, 23 years, I fought cancer 2013. I'm still here for a reason, hit by car 2 times, I shouldn't even be here...not to have my daughter has broken me. Anyone, please pray for me.

Mary J. Blige is not only a talented singer, she is a phenomenal songwriter.

Got me through the toughest time of my life.
If he makes you cry more than he makes you smile...it's time to make some new choices
GIRL WHO YOU TELLING?
Mary is an effective singer. She knows how to convey emotions. She knows her strengths and her limitations
I've always said that vocal wise, she may not be the best agility and range wise, but her ability to make you feel her music is something that every other singer doesn't have.
Its Sept 2023 and i still think MJB Should buy the rights to this single from Malted Milk.. She SLAYED the original. If she released this version today it will hit billboard! Shout out to Malted Milk and Mr Green!
Damn I'm fr bout to go get my girl some flowers and show her I appreciate her
When I hear this song it makes me realize how strong I can be without me ex's and all the people who tried to put me down think again 💯💪
I get bullied but I listen to this song

Don't let them get you down that's what they want cus their miserable with their selves
so sorry sending you hugs and kisses😘❤
Sending love and happiness your way💕💕
Shane Love how old are you.

Same survived 15 staples in my head from my ex wife

She is so beautiful. I love her music. she tells the truth about what us strong black woman every where.
🔥"Can't get no lower," really resonates to me.✊🔥
I wish this version was on Apple Music 😩
This song helps me to deal with the negatively at the group home.
The piano and the violins bring the words down to the bottom line..... ....the best song she has ever sung
