The Living Proof Lyrics - Mary J. Blige

1 It's gonna be a long long journey

2 It's gonna be an uphill climb

3 It's gonna be a tough fight

4 There's gonna be some lonely nights

5 But I'm ready to carry on

6 I’m so glad the worst is over

7 (Cuz it almost took me out)

8 I can start living now

9 Ooh, I feel like I can do anything

10 And finally I'm not afraid to breathe

11 Anything you say to me

12 And everything you do

13 You can’t deny the truth

14 Cuz I’m the living proof

15 So many don’t survive

16 They just don’t make it through

17 But look at me, oh

18 I’m the living proof

19 Oh, yes I am

20 Thinkin' 'bout life's been painful

21 (Yes it was)

22 Took awhile to learn how to smile

23 So now I’m gonna talk to my people, oh oh

24 About the storm, oh

25 About the storm, oh

26 So glad the worst is over

27 (Cuz it's all beneath me now)

28 I can start flying now, oh ho

29 My best days are right in front of me

30 Yet I’m almost there

31 Cuz now I’m free, oh

32 Anything you say to me

33 And everything you do

34 You can’t deny the truth

35 Cuz I’m the living proof

36 So many don’t survive

37 They just don’t make it through

38 But look at me, oh

39 I’m the living proof

40 I know where I’m going, oh

41 Cuz I know where I’ve been, oh oh

42 I got a few stars that's showin'

43 (Hey)

44 I’mma stay strong keep going

45 That’s the way that I’ll win

46 Anything you say to me

47 And everything you do

48 (Everything you do)

49 You can’t deny the truth

50 Cuz I'm the living proof

51 So many don’t survive

52 They just don’t make it through

53 But look at me, yeah

54 I’m the living proof

55 Nothing ‘bout my life’s been easy

56 But nothing’s gonna keep me down, no, down, no

57 Cuz I know a lot more today

58 And I know yesterday

59 So I’m ready to carry on
