I Believe in Me

This jam is dedicated to moi
Thats right you guys its just for
Me I believe in me
Cause I take care of me
It took so long to see
All I really need is me
Faith and family
Has finally made me see
No matter what I face
All I need is me
Everybody says they know me better
Than I know myself
But I dont know nobody else has felt what I felt
Did what I did or been where I been
But have to defend myself again and again
Let it end where it begins
Who cares what the cause is
Too many bosses cause divorces
And I dont take losses
Well I play with a team
But Im a Diana Ross and not a Supreme
You think you got me all figured out
Ohh so Im so shallow
The only thing Im tryin to get is a bigger house
No part of my need is a company
Where I can hire my own people
To live out their dreams
So tell me
Whats happenin to all of yall people
With low self-esteem
What you want me to cry on your shoulder
So you can turn around and laugh
And talk about it when its over
Me I believe in me
Cause I take care of me
It took so long to see
All I really need is me
Faith and family
Has finally made me see
No matter what I face
All I need is me
I done sold 30 mill dated then made you want it
When it got too convenient I just gave it up
I dont need the stress
I dont need the pain
I do need the checks
But dont need the games
Ohh my how could him and I be the same
When the house burnt down
Only I made the blame
When the money got funny
I took it to court
When most of yall scrubs
Wouldnt have even fought it
When the group had issues
I laid in thought
Corrected the bad news
I heard in interviews
How many of you really know Lisa
Not many
Its not contrary its fear
I dont know you either
Im responsible for more
Than youll ever know or see
So many things you dont know happened
Because of me
From Blaque to the designs of the stage
That was me
So how could any of yall be mad at me
Me I believe in me
Cause I take care of me
It took so long to see
All I really need is me
Faith and family
Has finally made me see
No matter what I face
All I need is me
Everybody says all they want is the truth
Well the truth is
I still got love for my group
But you dont really want the truth
When its concernin you
You want to hear that no ones doin better than you
You love to hear the pain
You love to hear the struggle
You love to know that paradise
Has got trouble
The only trouble we ever had
Is you bein involved
You gettin involved where you dont belong
When my faith started to waver it was like I was done
I felt like Brian McKnight I was 'Back At One'
The only one that was
The only one that ever
The only one I need
The one and only me
Because if I hadnt told you
It was on different planes
You would think that
I meant our flights aint the same
My only crime was I was so blind
Didnt know I had everything
I wanted all the time
Me I believe in me
Cause I take care of me
It took so long to see
All I really need is me
Faith and family
Has finally made me see
No matter what I face
All I need is me
Me I believe in me
Cause I take care of me
It took so long to see
All I really need is me
Faith and family
Has finally made me see
No matter what I face
All I need is me
Me I believe in me
Cause I take care of me
It took so long to see
All I really need is me
Faith and family
Has finally made me see
No matter what I face
All I need is me
