Macy Gray was originally hesitant to record a studio album due to what is, arguably, her most recognizable feature -- her voice. She started her music career as a songwriter. Her first album was actually a mistake; she was at the studio waiting for the person who was supposed to be singing her song, and the producer wanted to hear what one of the songs was supposed to sound like. Once she started singing, the producer liked the rough sound of her voice so much he offered her a record deal.

Macy Gray Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But they don't know
What we got baby
Then they not see the love in you
But love I do
And I'm staying right here
Ummm sweet sweet baby life is crazy
I am sure of
That I'm your lady
Always baby
And I love you now and ever
Suga wishes don't change what is real
Or how it feels in the bad times
Forever he is, he's mine all the time
And we get by with our true love
Ummm sweet sweet baby life is crazy
But there's one thing
I am sure of
That I'm your lady
Always baby
And I love you now and ever
Ummm sweet baby life is crazy
But there's one thing
I am sure of
That I'm your lady
Always baby
And I love you now and ever
I bet would I ever find, my sweet
Just a true love, my sweet
That we come this far together
I bet so I'm here to stay
Cause without you baby
I can't go any further
Umm sweet baby life is crazy
But there's one thing
I am sure of
That I'm your lady
Always baby baby
Mah mah ever mah mah ever mah mah sweet sweet baby
Life is so sweet with you
Sweet with you
Sweet

The lyrics to Macy Gray; featuring Erykah Badu's song Sweet Baby speak to the theme of enduring love. The opening lines reveal that the singer has been told to leave, but she counters that those individuals don't understand the profound connection she shares with her beloved. She speaks to the fact that others can't see the love in him, but that she loves him deeply, and is committed to staying with him. This sentiment is revisited throughout the song with refrains of "sweet sweet baby life is crazy but there's one thing I'm sure of, that I'm your lady always baby and I love you now and ever."
The singer's affirmations of love do not exclude acknowledging the challenges of life. In fact, it is during these difficult moments that her love is most needed. She sings "sugar wishes don't change what is real, or how it feels in the bad times. Forever he is, he's mine all the time, and we get by with our true love." The 'forever' mentioned in these lines suggests that their love is not transient, but rather something that will endure.

She got/gets recognition. Substance use & other factors may have got in the way in the past.
