Work In Progress (Growing Pains) - Mary J Blige

[PawneeStud]

Man this is my shit right here man. This makes me realize that my mistakes aren't permanent and they do not say anyything about the person I am going to be. It gives me the strenght to surpass the hurt and be happy with me.

[msphilly2nc]

Thank you Mary for making such great music this song is so on point!!!

[TheLanard]

This song got me through a lot of pain and indecision in my life when it came out. I suffered through the dating games, fake friends, and co-workers who didn't speak back after I greeted them. People I thought were there for me, weren't. Co-workers saying I thought I was better than them. I act like a professional, my uniform always clean and pressed. I smiled a lot, but there was so much pain behind the smile. Listening to this song a lot got me through it.

[ladydee20784]

@TheLanard Later for them and keep the fake people from a distance!

. You live for you and nobody else.. Maybe it was them with the "issues" and not you... Just keep smiling honey and let go and let God!!! :-)

[TheLanard]

My favorite cut on this album!!!!!!! One of my favorite songs of all time!!!

[MRSRENNEA]

One of my favorite songs on the CD (this and "Shakedown" w/ Usher). I love Mary :).

[dskennie]

This song reminds me of "Just Like You" by Keyshia Cole, she even says "just like you". I like this song more, though. They are both good and are the title track, what a coincidence.

[Tyajadookie]

Keyshia wack corny stop all ya people comparing keyshia with mary cause shes corny she a little ass girl

[greffen123]

Yo you must give credit where it is do,Keyshia is growing and learning just as my girl Mary had to do. Keyshia has a lot of family issues to deal with and it could take her a little longer to grow, with her voice she can go fare but she must clean up cover, her trouble is showing on the outside when it should just come out in her music. Mary is my al time favorite, But i have much love for Keyshia, and i feel she will overcome a lot with the help from poeple like Mary J Blige That tell truth.

[Tyajadookie]

I feel that she is corny if you have a problem with that.Thats your fault Mary is the best and will always be and no little girls will ever take that away from her cause they cant.

[greffen123]

WOOOOOOOOOOOW!Sense you dont know, let me tell you. Im im a Mary fan and Im honest just like all her music, I give credit where it is due, and stand firm on what ever i say where Mary is concern. So that you know I will be on the floor of the Mary Jay Z concert when they come to philly in march, i have already saw her twice this year,and be damn if im going to disagree with any positve about the no.1 artist in the country rite now next tono one will she stand always in front MJB fan for life.

[Tyajadookie]

Alright sir whoever the hell are maybe ill see at the concert greffen.You win you happy your a funny ass you know that.

[greffen123]

WOOOOOOOOOOOW! Thanks, i hope that you get to enjoy the concert, thanks for replying back to me with positive comments. Most poeple, lke to fight back and forth not me, im a positive person, and i like to talk to people that have great vibes, like myself and Mary j.blige. She has taught me a lot of positive ways to become a well profound man. Yo! I love life threw all the drama that comes with it, because now i know how to Stay Down from drama, and Breakthrew all my Growing Pains. Stay up Tya.

[Tyajadookie]

I hope you stay up to greffen

[greffen123]

[blkdee07]

ALICIA KEYS---KEISHA COLE---MARY J BLIGE......the best top female r&b artists right now

[shamara781]

except keyshia tries to be like mary so bad!its ridiculous look at tha early mary.then look at keyshia.but keyshia is good vocally.

[3698aloha]

Yeah, I love them both and after seeing Keyshia's show I have a whole new respect for her now.

[dskennie]

@blkdee07 oh how things have changed

[brownsugar976]

Mary is the only female I know that kept it real year after and she's still doing her thing. Honesty is so powerful and thats why she is. she's telling us about her life, but yet we feel so connected like she speaking chapters out of our lives. Thanks Mary 4keeping it real and inspiring me with your music.

[jamerica2007]

ooooooooooo my god i love this song so so so so so so much!!!!!!!!!!

[lisalighty]

Mary is the truth, no doubt~ the rest of the r-n-b chicks need to take note, her and Keyshia Cole are what's up in 2008!
