Hey! I see the penitentiary, one day And running from the police, that's catch me, put a whooping to my backside And even as a fiend, mama You always was a queen, mama I understand For a it ain't easy trying to raise a man You always was A poor single on welfare, tell me how ya did it There's no way I can pay you But the plan is to you that I understand You are
