Mary Mary is an American contemporary gospel duo, consisting of sisters Erica Atkins-Campbell (born (1972-04-29)April 29, 1972) and Trecina "Tina" Atkins-Campbell (born (1974-05-02)May 2, 1974). The duo are often credited along with Kirk Franklin for broadening the fan base of urban contemporary gospel in the 2000s by introducing elements of soul music, hip hop, funk and jazz. Mary Mary broke onto the music scene with their popular song "Shackles (Praise You)"—which is considered one of the pioneering songs of urban contemporary gospel music. The group's name, as stated in an interview is inspired by the two famous Mary's from the Bible; Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ, and Mary Magdelene. more »

They say there she goes, that ole' holy roller
Think she's special, someone needs to tell her
That she ain't no better than me
They say she's such a geek, that ole' Jesus freak
Every time she opens up her mouth to speak
She's always talkin' 'bout being saved and holy
That was me, Miss Unpopular
Never asked to be part of the in-crowd
Everyone knew who I was
'Cause my life screamed Jesus out loud

Yeah I've been, left out, looked over
Just for carrying the cross on my shoulder
It's okay with me, if I'm the last one who's picked for the team
I'll sit on the sideline, as long as He's sitting with me

They said he wasn't ordinary 'cause he wanted to be married
Before he let himself, be with someone else
They even said he was unnatural
What they didn't see, didn't see that he
He was much more man than they'd ever be
'Cause he was a man, of integrity
Just like me he was Mr. Unpopular
Never asked to be part of the in-crowd
Everyone knew who he was
'Cause his life screamed Jesus out loud

Yeah I've been, left out, looked over
Just for carrying the cross on my shoulder
It's okay with me, if I'm the last one who's picked for the team
I'll sit on the sideline, as long as He's sitting with me

I know someday I'll shine, I'll wait till it's my time
Lord I won't move, I'll sit with you
Yeah I've been, left out, looked over
Just for carrying the cross on my shoulder
It's okay with me, if I'm the last one who's picked for the team
I'll sit on the sideline, as long as He's sitting with me

Yeah I've been, left out, looked over
Just for carrying the cross on my shoulder
It's okay with me, It's okay with me
I'll sit on the sideline, as long as He's sitting with me
