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 from school, and scared to go home, I was a fool With the big boys, breaking all the I shed tears with my sister Over the years we was poorer the other little kids And even though we had daddy's, the same drama things went wrong we'd blame mama I reminisce on the stress I caused, it was Hugging on my from a jail cell And who'd think in Hey! I see the penitentiary, one day And running from the police, right catch me, put a whooping to my backside And even as a fiend, mama You always was a queen, mama I understand For a woman it easy trying to raise a man You always was A poor single mother on welfare, me how ya did it no way I can pay you back But the plan is to show you that I You are
Don't ya know we love ya? lady mama Place no one above ya, lady You are ya know we love ya?
Now nobody tell us it was fair No love from my daddy cause the coward wasn't He away and I didn't cry, cause my anger Wouldn't let me feel for a say I'm wrong and I'm heartless, but all along I was for a father he was gone I hung around with the Thugs, and even though sold drugs They showed a young love I out and started really hanging I needed money of my own so I started I ain't guilty cause, even though I rocks It feels good money in your mailbox I love paying rent when the due I hope ya got the necklace that I sent to you when I was low you was there for me And never left me alone you cared for me And I could see you coming after work late in the kitchen trying to fix us a hot plate Ya just with the scraps you was given And mama made miracles Thanksgiving But now the road got rough, alone trying to raise two bad kids on your own And no way I can pay you back But my plan is to show you that I You are
Don't ya know we love ya? Sweet And mama Place no one ya, sweet lady You are ya know we love ya?
Pour out liquor and I reminisce, cause through the drama I can always depend on my And it seems that I'm hopeless You say the that can get me back in focus I was sick as a little kid To keep me happy there's no limit to the you did And all my memories Are full of all the sweet you did for me And though I act crazy I gotta thank the that you made me There are no words can express how I feel You kept 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 there's a brighter day will be alright if ya hold on It's a struggle everyday, gotta on And no way I can pay you back But my plan is to you that I understand You are
Don't ya we love ya? Sweet lady And dear Place no one above ya, sweet You are Don't ya we love ya?
