Mary J. Blige “Can’t Be Life”
Mary J. Blige reflects on her struggles and counts her blessings in her latest single “Can’t Be Life.”
“I’ve been torn down like a worn-down crumbling building/But I’m up now, well I’m up now and I’m still living,” she sings on the Chucky Thompson produced track. “I was chained to the pain and I couldn’t feel nothing/I was waiting on somebody to come fill me with something, yeah.”
The new song released on Friday (May 22) is in support of her new film Body Cam, which also stars Nat Wolff, David Zayas, and Anika Noni Rose
