Thick of it es el primer single de Strength of a woman, un álbum de Mary J. Blige. Una composición junto a Jazmine Sullivan.
"Es una canción tan personal que es un proceso casi doloroso lanzarla", comenta Blige. "Pero no me voy a detener, no es lo que soy y no voy a cambiar mi forma de ser a estas alturas".
"Todos lidiamos con el amor y con las emociones, y tenemos que sobrevivir, crecer y ser honestos para poder ser mejor versión de nosotros mismos", dice. "Esto es lo que siento con esta canción, y es la primera canción en salir a la luz del álbum en el que llevo inmersa los últimos dos años . La música me salva, sea lo que sea que esté pasando en mi vida".
Con un vídeo dirigido por Dennis Leupold, estrenado el 7 de noviembre de 2016.
Letra
[Estrofa 1]
Love ain't just black and white
Ain't that simple
It gets hard to tell whose wrong or right
When Its dark with us
I swear I barely see the light
Should I stick it out?
Are you worth this fight?
Are we worth this fight?
Cuz I ain't no quitter babe
And I be damned if all these years I let you diss me babe
I was there when no one wanted to stay with you baby
You know I deserve more than this
I do
[Estribillo]
So tell me who
Who's gonna love
You like I do
Who will you trust
I gave you too much
Enough is enough
Now we're in the thick of it
So tell me
Who's gonna love
You like I do
Who will you trust
I gave you too much
Enough is enough
Now were in the
Now we're in the thick of it
[Estrofa 2]
What a hell of a year
If I make it through hell and I come out alive I got nothing to fear
No more crying and trying
And bring back this loving when nothing is here
Let me be clear
I wasn't perfect
But this shit ain't worth it
I'm done with the mess
I confess on the stress
And I know Ima look back and call it a blessing
Cuz I ain't no quitter babe
But I be damned if all these years I let you diss me babe
I was there when no one wanted to stay with you baby
You know I deserve more than this
I do
[Estribillo]
So tell me who
Who's gonna love
You like I do
Who will you trust
I gave you too much
Enough is enough
Now we're in the thick of it
So tell me who
Who's gonna love
You like I do
Who will you trust
I gave you too much
Enough is enough
Now we're in the
We're in the thick of it
[Puente]
Boy you had someone who really loved you
(boy you had someone who really loved you)
Should have held on held on real tight now
(held on tight)
And she placed no other one above you
(and she placed no one above you)
But you didn't want to treat her right now
Should've let her go
Should've let her go
Oh no oh, oh no oh
Now I'm letting go
Now I'm letting go
Oh no oh, oh no oh
[Estribillo]
So tell me who
Who's gonna love
You like I do
Who will you trust
I gave you too much
Enough is enough
Now we're in the thick of it
So tell me who
Who's gonna love
You like I do
Who will you trust
I gave you too much
Enough is enough
Now we're in the
We're in the thick of it
