This song literally saved my life when I was 26 years old. Helped me have the strength to leave an abusive relationship. I always wanted to write Mary a letter to thank her. So thank you Mary 🙏🙏🙏
Mary is one of the few artists who truly understood the human condition, with the capability to narrate our lives with the passion in her voice. Growing up in war torn south central LA where there was a shooting every half hour, I was a little girl begging for the violence to stop… Mary gave me a song that literally said what I wanted to say. In addition to my heartbreak, abandonment, emotional neglect from my family and partners. From tribulation to triumph, Mary really sung the soundtrack of my life. Thank you Mary!
I thank Mary J, for helping me leave the drama of abuse and a man who never supported me while I struggled with breast cancer surgery and leukemia. I am truly blessed as a 16-year breast cancer survivor. Thanks to God's blessings, my children who has been with me from the. beginning. Their support meant the world to me. Her songs always touched my heart and soul.
This made me cry , because one of my brothers was an addict and many times i begged him to stop, and he never did, well they found him dead inside his hime a few months ago and I AM destroyed, because he raised me, he was everything to me, he meant the world to me.
I'm so sorry. I went thru it and I'm grateful af to be alive. Hugs to you. It's not easy to be an addict,but it's harder, in my experience, to love an addict. He's still with you 🦋❤
Bonjour à vous Je suis un homme bien évidemment, sela fait 16 années que je vie seul, parce que je le veux, plus de triangulaire, reste sans jamais voir la personne pendant trois années, j'ai dit stop, je préfère aider les gens qui en ont besoin, sans rien demander en retour. Excellente journée à vous.
"Another lesson learned. Better know your friends or you will get burned." That is so real. Edit: Thank you all for the likes. I wasn’t expecting that many, when I commented. As I hardly ever commented on RU-vid videos during the time. It just happened to be something I was going through the during the time. But hey, it was for the best; God truly knows the best for us all. We have to go through pain and rain, to get the treasure and rainbow at the end. 🙏🏽 I don’t want to say too much about the situation, except she was definition of a fake friend. Wasn’t happy when I got into a relationship with a good man, she talked behind my back. I was the “bad friend and fake” because I didn’t want to put up with the toxicity anymore. 🤦🏽♀️💁🏽♀️🥺 I’m ok though, I already forgiven her and her mother for talking behind my back. You KNOW you’re a strong, good person when you forgive a person, who are not even slightly remorseful for their actions. I pray you all can do the same thing. Sometimes, God removes people from all lives for a reason. Praise Him, through it all because think where you’d be if you stayed around that toxic person. Let’s just say now, I’m doing way better now, I’m currently engaged to the love my life. 🥲 We also have our beautiful 6-year-old daughter who is now in 1st grade. She’ll be graduating from preschool next year. When you remove, a toxic person from your life; you grow without them! May God help you all, find peace and joy in your lives. In Jesus name, amen. 🙏🏽
New Generations are just now finding out about Mary and this song. This song is about healing which is what this country really needs rn People were talking shit about how she wasn’t even that great of a singer. They are callous and soul-less. I hope this sparks a new wave of healing that is much needed in this time. Also this was produced by Dr. Dre which is why it was chosen for the Halftime Performance. All the artists presented songs produced by Dr Dre because it was about his Legacy as a producer.
2024 ❤❤❤ I’ve been listening to Mary since her first album. She got me through so much. I would just listen to her over and over again. Thank you Mary J. ❤❤
This song got me through a 30 yr marriage and divorce with an alcoholic..didnt want the same things..i finally just up and left..no job..nothing..ty mary NO MORE DRAMA
That is why I love Mary J. so much. She transformers you in every time she sing . Her voice is pure and that is why she touches so many people with her songs . It doesn't matter if you are black or white red or yellow our hearts are all the same. We all feel pain she just sings us to a better place. #ShesReal #SheFeels #SheKnowsOurPain #GodBlessUMaryJ
I have spent 19 years with my ex thinking I was a punch bag (with 3 kids) this song brings back memories. I learnt to move on. Now years later my kids are all grown up with kids of their of own. I lived a abusive life but had the strength to move on. 3 beautiful kids and 8 grandkids. It can happen. Stay strong.
@@KidsandMe find the strength with in you. I no it's easier said then done. Talk to family and friends if you can, if not there are womans refuge you can contact. One night I was sitting alone in the dark crying(while everyone was asleep) thinking what have I done it's all my fault ..that's why is he treating me like this.. dinner wasnt on time...coffee was to cold.. kids crying....im a waste of space...and the rest of it..it only took little things to set him off..its all my fault and the kids are suffering for it. Then started thinking (looking back) none of this made any sense to me...why would you hurt me because coffee wasn't hot enough..dinner not on time. .. your worthless....no one will ever want you now with "bagged in tow your now second hand goods" fat and ugly (saying all this while hands around the neck with a black eye)it was never about me it was always about him. Low self esteem...lack of confidence...so try and bring you down to make him feel better about himself..and to do that they will do whatever it takes to make feel about yourself...thinking you will not leave....your alone. Your a far from it. YOU ARE NOT AND NEVER HAVE BEEN THE PROBLEM. If you need someone to talk to I am here. You are NEVER alone hun. XX
Drama is why I've lived alone for the last 20 years, it's lonely sometimes but I'm moving on in peace. Good luck Mary J is such a fox and an amazing talented woman.
RIP MOMMA ❤ AND MISS U U WOULD'VE BEEN 79 TODAY AND 8YRS AGO U BECAME FREE OF ALL THE DRAMA IN THIS WORLD SO CONTINUE RIP HAPPY BIRTHDAY IN HEAVEN 4-19-1955 I LOVE YOU MA
I am an achild abuse survival ,, I did not choose to be abused but I choose how I am going to live my life ,, therapy and daily decision to No more drama and No more pain helps ,,
I lost both my parents when I was a young teen, became Homeless on the streets at 16... but I stayed in school, graduated, went to College University, graduated with not 1 but 2 degrees. Worked in Social services and homeless youth services for 17 years... however I'm hated by people, my community, people at work mock me at times, people make remarks and even sometimes laugh... though I've come through so much and accomplished so much, I'll never be good enough... why? Because I'm transgender. Just when I think about jumping over the edge and giving up, I back away because this is my life and I don't know what's next but what I do know is. I better make good of what I do have. Contrary of what folks may think I didn't choose this. I'm tired tho but if I have to path through darkness to see the sun, than so be it, even if I have to do it alone... thank you Mary for this anthem, it has showed up for me more than you could possibly know.
I’m a straight man. All I can tell you, is own yourself. People will love/hate you over other things if it isn’t your gender. Surround yourself with the right people. That’s key. Hope you are well.
Everyone in this life has something in common. I have loved this song for a long time and am still living it today and I will be 70 in August. Thank you Mary J. Blige!!!.
Yes, she helped me through mine as well. I listened to her growing up, but it hits when you’re grown. Always felt her music deeply, she empowers me to NEVER give up on ME especially when I am feeling lost. 💪🏽❤️ Forever MJB
Brought to tears at the end of this song. I feel her pain and emotion when she said "Lord help me"! That's all you have to do is cry out to him and will hear you! Love you Mary💕
@@yankee2666 hater follow mary from old albums and now u will know she sdoesnt sing anyhow every song has a meaning whe God has taken u from somewhere u understand what art is because he's the number oe artist...NEVER FORGET THAT SHES NOT A MUSICIAN SHES Q TESTIMONY
Omg this song saved me...I was 19 got in a "relationship" whn 16 he was severely abusive he almost killed me I remember when I heard this..Mary's voice the lyrics & strength in her emotions had god given me the Stength to leave for good at 21 I survived 🙏 truly a Blessing 🙌 Thank you so much Mary!! I still listen to this when I feel weak ❤
This is a song hardly anybody can sing because it takes more than a good voice to deliver. What you need is the ability to create the drama within the drama. The composition is a constant increase of tension and it would be so easy to drown here. Mary knows what to do and how to do it. A masterpiece.
For sure! The delivery comes from a place of personal experience and the drive of a great arrangement down to the instrumentation from some of the greatest arrangement and production from the great Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis!!!!!
so crazy I was thinking the same thing-- now while I never been a big fan of Mary's voice; I wouldn't want to hear this song from even the most pitch perfect artist it just wouldn't be the same.
FaytLinegod I can definitely feel her pain and it makes me feel the pain I used to feel...I now feel pain for my family cause they are so wrapped up fighting and getting high. Breaks my heart to the max 💔
When it first came out I was only 9 years old I remember standing in my bedroom crying my eyes out singing No More Drama. Now im a 30 yrd woman and this song still gets me. We go through so many things in life , diffrent struggles and growths. Some more painful than other but there is beauty in all of it. So many of us resonate with Mary's pain we all feel it in her voice and that's the beauty in it. The shared experince that connects us
Currently I’m going through a divorce. I love my wife. True love is described in the Bible at 1 Corinthians chapter 13. She don’t love me. The day she left I put this song on repeat ‼️Thanks Mary
No more being yelled at for living and breathing or trying to show you a brighter side of life to have it screamed at and hated on. Haters can go away and stay away. If you don’t have anything nice for me keep your distance. I’m so thankful for the ones who weren’t hateful.
This made me break down after I came back from Iraq; afterwards it was what confirmed my decision to leave law enforcement. It’s the perfect description of burnout.
Remember the live Grammy performance of this song when she had on the gold tone pants suit. She did this special thing with her feet when dancing. I get the chills every time I watch it. Queen indeed!
Mary I’m laying in bed and this song literally saved me thank you so much for this I choose to win no more pain no more games no more drama no more tears .
It's just knowing pain is what makes you stronger and allow it to make you stronger. What doesn't kill ya only makes you stronger. Mind over matter. Pick your self before anyone always. Because In the end it's all about how much heart you got to keep on walking forward after each pain you've conquered. Facing fears is a superpower. Lol jk I'm afraid of myself .. how gorgeously brilliantly confusion is that part
I stopped, I sat down and I paid attention, I listened when I first head this song. I decided to pull close into my heart the message in this song. I said to my enemies No More Drama.
Still today 1/27/2024 years from the first time I heard this song and I posted twice that this song saved my life in so many ways and I’m talking about 11 years ago and I’m still battling my demons daily and I never knew what I know now that what I thought back then was really hard to handle those days was nothing compared to what I’m going through now and for the last couple of years but I’m good cause I’m not fighting my demons and battles alone God is right by my side and I will be victorious amen 🙏🏻 God is good all the time but people are not be kind to each other you never know what battles they are fighting and lots of people are standing on the ledge of a rooftop…..
wait a minute here...not just for all women...but why not for men??? this song is for anyone who has made the decision of making the best choices for themselves...and stop trying to please others...it's one of Mary's best songs!
@@stephenalbertson8920 as long as we are also respecting others in the process. What people think is the "best choice for themselves" and not pleasing others, can sometimes be selfishness and disrespect. The song is about rejecting and getting out of abuse.
+Earthian Moon God bless your soul sweetie, you're not alone but you're still here. we all went through something everyday in life. It's always important to pray, ask the Good man and just be thankful and happy. Thank goodness you're still here and so am I.
Henry Cooper thank you. you two. if only more people will see that depression is something we make up. we either are born or something happen to us that depression started. and i hope you heal. bless you. : )
Her voice, her acting, her lyrics, her passion, her everything, no one will ever top her she took it to a whole new level, just pure perfection, old but GOLD.
I survived domestic violence the last straw was when he put me in the hospital for 3 months. When I got out had this song on repeat. It gave me the strength to remove him out of my life. This song will always be my favorite Mary J song
It's been a whole year since he was removed from my life. I saw him in court today. He has no power over me anymore and I see him as the weak pathetic creature he is. I WILL NEVER be treated that way again. No man will ever put their hands on me again because I will never trust another man again.
+Becky Norris I know you want to build a wall around you and never allow anyone to hurt you again. Maybe after you have healed and built your self esteem back again, you'll allow yourself to find love and allow other to love you. Good luck!
+Becky Norris please, please don't judge all of us men like the monster that hurt you I know its easy to say I have been sexually assaulted by women but I don't tar you all by the same brush
+Becky Norris. I know exactly how you feel. Un neccessary negativism and evil that these men , etc. create. Anything to bring your spirit down. I read this other day " Satan daily will say things to bring you down.. Satan destroys.. God will daily uplift your spirit and God restores! Amen ♥
It's been 3 yrs since he was removed from my life. Haven't see him in three or heard from him in two. Glad he moved on but this passed February sent me a friend request I sent a message 💔💔💔💔 really and he removed it.. Just got back to loving myself & enjoying life it took a big toll on me.. I Love too hard 😰Still not ready to date again.. Just patiently waiting don't see how some people jump right back in without healing first.. Takes time 💞💗🙏🏾
Who cannot like this song. She gives me strength. Especially now to this day. Sometimes you don’t want the publicity. I don’t care anymore. It is was it is. I want my life back. I’m getting it back and more. People wanted to cause drama. We’ll reap what you sowed. Thank you UFC. For controlling your fighters
I see Mary J Blige well maybe 6 years ago at the TD Bank guy and she was phenomenal unbelievable with some Jay-Z as a backup and I'll tell you have Mary does take you there and you have to love Mary and also love her music because she tells it like it is and she's truthful and she tried to make you realize that you're not the only one there is someone out there became famous as soon as she did but she's come up and she's Miss Mary J Blige
This song hit different when you see her perform it live. I'm a Grown Ass Man, and it put tears 😢 in my eyes. This song 🎵 brought me through some rough times.
With the Lord on our side we will be ok. If God is for us who can be against us? Not even our wicked instincts. The best fight is to keep pushing through and yelling the negativity and stress that you choose to win.
You right about that. There's so much domestic violence going on now it's sickening. Women and men losing their lives, because they're afraid to be alone. I was like that..... until I woke up in the hospital. I lefted with nothing but the clothes on my back..... am happy and safe. Thank You GOD
