Although I wasn't really feeling "Run the World," Beyoncé's latest single "Best Thing I Never Had" is a winner.

Music Monday

Drake's Marvin's Room track has been getting a lot of buzz. The song is about a drunken phone call from Drake to his ex, and several female songstresses have stepped up to the plate to give their take on the situation from the other end of the phone line or in TT's case from Her Room.

So, here is Drake's version along with JoJo, Rochelle Jordan, and Teyana Taylor's.




I personally like Jordan's best, but that Ex-Factor line at the end of Taylor's kinda hooked me.

In all of this I just have one question: Who the heck is Marvin?
I'll just assume he's that nigga that she loves so bad.

Strength, Courage, & Wisdom

Inside my head there lives a dream that I want to see in the sun
Behind my eyes there lives a me that I've been hiding for much too long
'Cause I've been, too afraid to let it show
'Cause I'm scared of the judgment that may follow
Always putting off my living for tomorrow
It's time to step out on faith, I've gotta show my face
It's been elusive for so long, but freedom is mine today
I've gotta step out on faith, It's time to show my face
Procrastination had me down but look what I have found, I found

Strength, courage, and wisdom
And it's been inside of me all along,
Strength, courage, and wisdom
Inside of me

Behind my pride there lives a me, that knows humility
Inside my voice there is a soul, and in my soul there is a voice
But I've been, too afraid to make a choice
'Cause I'm scared of the things that I might be missing
Running too fast to stop and listen

It's time to step out on faith, I've gotta show my face
It's been elusive for so long but freedom is mine today
I've gotta step out on faith it's time to show my face
Procrastination had me down but look what I have found, I found

Strength, courage, and wisdom
And it's been inside of me all along,
Strength, courage, and wisdom
Inside of me

I close my eyes and I think of all the things that I want to see
'Cause I know, now that I've opened up my heart I know that
Anything I want can be, so let it be, so let it be:.

Strength, courage, and wisdom
It's been inside of me all along,
Strength, courage, wisdom
It's been inside of me all along, everyday I'm praying for:

Strength, courage, and wisdom
And it's been inside of me all along,
Strength, courage, and wisdom
Inside of me

I found it in me, I found it finally
I'm sure to keep it' cause I like it, I say thank you
