All That I Can Say [remix]
Mary J. Blige · Other Songs - Mary J. Blige
Ooh, ooh
[Rah Digga]
Uh, uh, uh The Rah D-I-G
Here to rap on behalf
All the females headed down the wrong path
Things gonna change when we hit the set
Put an end to the pain and the disrespect
My Flipmode brother gonna switch his pitch
Like we ain't supposed to know when he talking to a chick
Too fly for that to even make that an issue
Take little chicken head baby moms with you
[Mary]
Loving you is what I thought
In my mind was a miracle
But times have changed and you have changed with them too
How foolish of me
To think that you would be
Someone that I can hold on to
Something in my mind
Was warning me all the time
That you were no angel and neither was I
I tried and tried and tried
To bring peace into our lives
But you continued to flip and try to take control of my life and I
(Chorus)
1 - [Mary] (Rah Digga)
I don't know
Where we went wrong
All that I can say
He never loved me anyway
(He didn't love you, he didn't love you, come on)
[Mary]
I have been with you
Through everything that you've gone through
But it hurts me to my heart that you don't realize
That I've only stayed around, not to cry tears of a clown
But to someday end up being your wife but you lie
Liar, cheater, deceiver and a woman beater
About to give up
Because you want me to sell it short
Boyfriend, little boy
I've been played like a toy
Wondering in your heart
To give someone else a brand new start
Repeat Chorus (2x)
[Rah Digga]
How ill is this?
Playing games with my mental
All them other heartbreaker dealers I've done went through I'm just too fly for that
Now all the ladies say, I'm just too fly for that
And now don't be surprised
Catching you in all kinds of lies
If a honey come flip, start chasing you with knives
You gonna feel the wrath that's word is bond
Cause ain't nothing worse than a ghetto chick scorned
Repeat Chorus till end
All That I Can Say [remix]
Mary J. Blige's 'All That I Can Say' stands as a pivotal moment in her evolution from the gritty neo-soul pioneer of the 1990s to a refined R&B vocalist of the 2000s. Originally recorded for the album 'My Life,' the track exemplifies her signature blend of soulful delivery and raw emotional honesty, often characterized by her distinctive falsetto and conversational phrasing. The remix version, released later in her discography, maintains the song's core narrative of vulnerability and resilience while adapting the production to reflect her matured artistic direction. As a staple of her catalog, the recording captures the essence of her work during a period where she balanced commercial success with a commitment to authentic storytelling, influencing a generation of artists who sought to merge traditional soul with contemporary hip-hop and R&B sensibilities.
