You are
When I was young me and my mama had Seventeen years old kicked out on the back at the time, I never thought 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 shed tears with my sister Over the years we was poorer than the little kids And even we had different daddy's, the same drama When things went wrong blame mama I reminisce on the stress I caused, it was Hugging on my mama a jail cell And who'd in elementary? Hey! I see the penitentiary, one day And from the police, that's right catch me, put a whooping to my backside And even as a fiend, mama You was a black queen, mama I understand For a woman it ain't easy to raise a man You always was A poor mother on welfare, tell me how ya did it There's no way I can pay you But the plan is to show you that I You are
Don't ya we love ya? Sweet lady mama Place no one above ya, sweet You are ya know we love ya?
Now ain't tell us it was fair No love from my daddy the coward wasn't there He passed away and I didn't cry, cause my let me feel for a stranger They say I'm and I'm heartless, but all along I was for a father he was gone I hung around with the Thugs, and even though they drugs showed a young brother love I moved out and started hanging I needed money of my own so I started I ain't cause, even though I sell rocks It feels putting money in your mailbox I love paying rent the rent's due I hope ya got the diamond that I sent to you when I was low you was there for me And never me alone because you cared for me And I could see you coming home after work You're in the kitchen trying to fix us a hot Ya just working the scraps you was given And mama made miracles every But now the road got rough, you're You're trying to raise two bad kids on own And there's no way I can pay you But my plan is to show you that I You are
Don't ya we love ya? Sweet lady And mama Place no one ya, sweet lady You are Don't ya we love ya?
Pour out some liquor and I reminisce, through the drama I can always depend on my And when it seems I'm hopeless You say the words that can get me back in When I was as a little kid To keep me happy there's no limit to the you did And all my memories Are of all the sweet things you did for me And even though I act I gotta thank the that you made me There are no that can express how I feel You never a secret, always stayed real And I appreciate, how you me And all the love that you gave me I I could take the pain away If you can make it through the night a brighter day will be alright if ya hold on It's a everyday, gotta roll on And there's no way I can pay you But my plan is to you that I understand You are
Don't ya know we ya? Sweet lady And dear no one above ya, sweet lady You are ya know we love ya?
Sweet And dear
mama Lady, lady,
