Mary J. Blige is sharing her testimony.
The Queen of Hip-Hop Soul returns with her empowering anthem Know. The soulful song opens with some words of wisdom from the R&B powerhouse, who chronicles her inspiring journey.
Being a ruler means sacrifice. Most of the time, you get less than what you give, says MJB. So every woman and mother in the world is a queen because she sacrificed so much.
She then takes it to church as she sings about overcoming obstacles and bouncing back. My snapbacks real / Still thick in these jeans / I aint missin no meals, sings Mary. They just dont know how many times I lost just so I could win.
Blige is currently traveling across the country with Nas on their co-headlining Royalty Tour, which wraps next month. The two recently teamed up on their collaboration Thriving.
The Oscar-nominated singer-actress will also star in Power Book 2: Ghost, a spinoff of Starz hit series Power.
