At Last

To Mary J. Blige 

Sister, you're gone through hell and back, 
We know from what we heard but you know the facts 
Of the drama playing like a daytime serial on TV 
Or like a bad card being dealt dishonestly. 
The bad breaks you've gone through and making bad press 
And suddenly trying to get from under such mess. 
"No More Drama" is your new theme song 
And those around you who did you wrong 
Are no longer parts of that "Young and Restless" life of hell 
Or sometimes "Bold and Beautiful" days that just say, "oh well!" 
The drama is finally gone 
It's time to turn off the sad pitiful song 
And start living again for once in your life my friend 
Break away from the sadness and let it finally end 
For this is your life 
Now live it!!!!
