Lisa Lopes Lyrics
"I Believe In Me"

This jam (who did this)
Is dedicated (it was me)
To moi (that's right it was me)
That's right you guys (I'm responsible for all this)
It's just for...

Chorus:
Me
I believe in me
Cuz 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 don't know nobody else has felt what I felt (word)
Did what I did (uh huh)
Or been where I've been (yeah)
But have to defend myself again and again
Let it end where it begins
Who cares what the cause is (uh)
Too many bosses cause divorces
And I don't take losses well (nope)
I play with a team (yeah)
But I'm Diana Ross and not a Supreme
You think you got me all figured out
Oh so I'm so shallow
The only thing I'm tryin' to get is a bigger house (I don't think so)
No part of my need is a company
Where I can hire my own people
To live out their dreams
So tell me
What's happenin' to all of ya'll people with low self-esteem (what)
What you want me to cry on your shoulder
So you can turn around and laugh and talk about it when it's over

Chorus

I done sold 30 mill (uh huh)
Dated the men you wanted (tell 'em)
When it got too convenient (yeah)
I just gave it up (why'd you do that)
I don't need the stress (nope)
I don't need the pain (oh)
I do need the checks
But don't need the games
Oh my how could him and I (who?)
Be the same (oh)
When the house burnt down
Only I was to blame (save her)
When the money got funny
I took it to court (I remember that)
When most of ya'll scrubs
Wouldn't have even fought it
When the group had issues
I laid in thought (really)
Corrected the bad news
I heard in interviews
How many of you really know Lisa
Not many
It's not contrary it's fear
I don't know you either
I'm responsible for more
Than you'll ever know or see
So many things you don't know
Happened because of me
From Blaque to the designs of the stage
That was me
So how could any of ya'll
Be mad at me

Chorus

Everybody says all they want is the truth
Well the truth is I still got love for my group
But you don't really want the truth when it's concernin' you
You want to hear that no one's doin' better than you
You love to hear the pain (pain)
You love to hear the struggle (struggle)
You love to know that paradise
Has got trouble
The only trouble we ever have
Is you bein' involved
You gettin' involved where you don't 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 (was)
The only one that ever (ever)
The only one I need
The one and only me
Because if I hadn't told you we was on different planes
You would think that I meant our flights ain't the same
My only crime was I was so blind
Didn't know I had everything I wanted all the time
