No More Drama Lyrics

So tired, tired of these drama
No more, no more
I wanna be free
I'm so tired, so tired

Broken heart again
Another lesson learn
Better know your friends
Or else you will get burn
Gotta count on me
Cause I can guarantee
That I'll be fine

No more pain (no more pain)
No more pain (no more pain)
No drama (No More Drama in my life)
Noone's gonna make me hurt again

What a player fool
Go through ups and downs
Nowhere and all the time
You wouldn't be around
Or maybe I like the stress
Cause I was young and restless
But there was long ago
I don't wanna cry no more

No more pain (no more pain)
No more game (no more game messin with my mind)
No drama (no more drama in my life)
Nooone's gonna make me hurt again
No more tears (no more tears, I'm tired of cryin everynight)
No more fears (no more fears, I really don't wanna cry)
No drama (no more drama in my life)
I don't ever wanna hurt again
Wanna speak my mind, wanna speak my mind

Uh, it feel so good
When you let go
Avoid these drama in your life
Now you're free from all the pain
Free from all the game
Free from all the stress
So bye your happiness
I don't know
Only god knows where the story is
For me, but I know where the story begins
It's up to us to choose
Whatever we win or loose
And I choose to win

No more pain (no more pain)
No more game (tired of your playin' game with my mind)
No drama (no more drama in my life)
No more, no more, no more, no more
No more tears (no more tears, no more cryin every night)
No more fears (no more waking be up in the morning)
No drama, no more in my life

No more drama, no more drama
No more drama, no more drama
No more drama
No more drama
No more drama
No more drama
No more drama
No more drama in my life
So tired, tired of these drama

No More Drama

This song was written by the team of Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, who were also the producers of the track. The song is about going through hard times and moving on from the pain.

Fans of daytime Soap Operas immediately recognized the piano part in this song as the theme to the venerable CBS show The Young And The Restless. The TV song is known as "Nadia's Theme," although it was originally titled "Cotton's Dream." The sample was very fitting for this song, as drama is very much associated with the show. The writers of the theme - Perry Botkin and Barry Vorzon - are credited as writers on "No More Drama" because of the sample.

Blige told the Daily Telegraph February 7, 2008 that when she sings "No More Drama" in concert today, she feels a lifetime of pain unspooling every time: "I go through the emotion of being a child growing up in the projects, getting robbed, grown-ups snatching our trick-or-treating bags, being shot at, having to fight physically every day of your life, going home to alcoholic aunts and every woman around you being beaten so badly by men you can't even understand it, and then growing up and realizing you're repeating all those patterns, you're drinking the alcohol and doing the drugs and being abused by men, and the pain and frustration of not being able to stop it. I rewind through that every time I sing it. I want to give people the real truth."

The album was released shortly before the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in America; Blige said that she used this song as an outlet to express her emotions.

A vocal sample of the words "Mary J. Blige, no more drama" repeats throughout the course of the album.

This won the 2002 MTV Video Music Award for Best R&B Song.

The No More Drama album was re-released in 2002 with some different tracks.
