You are
I was young me and my mama had beef Seventeen old kicked out on the streets Though back at the time, I never I'd see her face Ain't a woman alive that could take my place Suspended from school, and to go home, I was a fool With the big boys, all the rules I tears with my baby sister Over the years we was poorer than the other kids And even though we had different daddy's, the same When went wrong we'd blame mama I on the stress I caused, it was hell Hugging on my mama from a cell And who'd think in Hey! I see the penitentiary, one day And from the police, that's right Mama catch me, put a to my backside And even as a crack fiend, You was a black queen, mama I understand For a woman it ain't easy trying to a man You always was A poor single on welfare, tell me how ya did it no way I can pay you back But the is to show you that I understand You are
Don't ya know we love ya? Sweet mama Place no one above ya, sweet You are ya know we love ya?
Now nobody tell us it was fair No love from my daddy cause the coward there He passed away and I didn't cry, my anger Wouldn't let me for a stranger say I'm wrong and I'm heartless, but all along I was looking for a he was gone I hung around with the Thugs, and even though they drugs They a young brother love I moved out and started hanging I needed money of my own so I started I ain't guilty cause, though I sell rocks It feels good money in your mailbox I love paying rent when the due I hope ya got the diamond necklace I sent to you when I was low you was there for me And never left me because you cared for me And I could see you home after work late You're in the trying to fix us a hot plate Ya working with the scraps you was given And mama miracles every Thanksgiving But now the got rough, you're alone You're to raise two bad kids on your own And no way I can pay you back But my plan is to you that I understand You are
