I was young me and my mama had beef Seventeen old kicked out on the streets back at the time, I never thought I'd see her face Ain't a woman that could take my mama's place from school, and scared to go home, I was a fool With the big boys, breaking all the I tears with my baby sister Over the years we was than the other little kids And even we had different daddy's, the same drama When things went wrong we'd blame I on the stress I caused, it was hell Hugging on my mama a jail cell And who'd in elementary? Hey! I see the penitentiary, one day And running from the police, that's Mama catch me, put a to my backside And as a crack fiend, mama You was a black queen, mama I finally For a woman it ain't easy trying to a man You was committed A poor single 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

Now ain't nobody tell us it was No love from my cause the coward wasn't there He passed away and I didn't cry, my anger let me feel for a stranger They say I'm wrong and I'm heartless, but all I was looking for a he was gone I around with the Thugs, and even though they sold drugs showed a young brother love I moved out and really hanging I needed money of my own so I slanging I ain't guilty cause, even though I sell It feels putting money in your mailbox I paying rent when the rent's due I hope ya got the necklace that I sent to you 'Cause I was low you was there for me And never left me alone because you for me And I could see you home after work late You're in the kitchen to fix us a hot plate Ya just with the scraps you was given And mama made every Thanksgiving 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

Pour out some liquor and I reminisce, cause through the I can always on my mama And when it that I'm hopeless You say the words can get me back in focus When I was as a little kid To keep me happy there's no to the things you did And all my childhood Are full of all the things you did for me And even I act crazy I thank the Lord 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 extra love you gave me I wish I could take the away If you can make it through the night there's a day Everything will be 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
