Mary J. Blige Records Country-Influenced "Care" With Kid Rock

Mary J. Blige is known as a soulful R&B singer, but her most recently-heard song making the rounds is the country-tinged "Care," featuring Kid Rock and T.I. It was leaked online Thursday and you can listen to it HERE.

The song includes a guitar-laden production and earnest lyrics about wanting to change the world but only having the ability to care.

"I can't stop the war, shelter the homeless, feed the poor," Blige and Kid Rock sing together on the chorus, while T.I. ad-libs throughout the refrain. "I can't walk on water, can't save your sons and daughter/ I can't change the world or make things fair, but the least I can do is care."

"For the life of me, I can't see how the devil keeps enticing me," Tip raps on the number. "All you see is a felon, but I know God can see what's right in me."

MTV reports that it is unclear if the record will land on Blige's next project. A representative for the singer has not responded to inquiries.

  1. Just so you know, this is a Kid Rock song that'll be on his next record "Born Free" due in November. The issue at hand is that Mary J was replaced on the song by Martina McBride, so the album version has Kid Rock, T.I. and Martina. Safe to say Kid Rock isn't too happy about Mary's camp releasing a scrapped version of the song.
