Below, you will find the lyrics for The Living Proof by Mary J. Blige.
It's gonna be a long, long journey
It's gonna be an uphill climb
It's gonna be a tough fight
It's gonna be some lonely nights
But I'm ready to carry on
I'm so glad the worst is over
Cause it almost took me out
I can start living now
I feel like I can do anythin'
And finally I'm not afraid to breathe
Anything you say to me
And everything you do
You can't deny the truth
Cause I'm the living proof
So many don't survive
They just don't make it through
But look at me
I'm the living proof
Yes, I am
Thinking back life's been painful
Yes, it was
Took a while to learn how to smile
So now I'm gonna talk to my people
About the storm about the storm
So glad the worst is over
I can start flyin' now
My best days are right in front of me
And I'm almost there
Cause now I am free
Anything you say to me
And everything you do
You can't deny the truth
Cause I'm the living proof
So many don't survive
They just don't make it through
But look at me
I'm the living proof
I know where I'm going
Cause I know where I've been
I gotta few stars that showing
I'm gonna stay strong keep going
That's the way that I will
Anything you say to me
And everything you do
You can't deny the truth
Cause I'm the living proof
So many don't survive
They just don't make it through
But look at me
I'm the living proof
Nothing about my life's been easy
But nothing's gonna keep me down
Cause I know a lot more today
Than I knew yesterday
So I'm ready to carry on
Lordy mm
Mm
