You are
I was young me and my mama had beef Seventeen years old out on the streets Though at the time, I never thought I'd see her face Ain't a woman alive that could my mama's place Suspended school, and scared to go home, I was a fool With the big boys, breaking all the I shed tears with my sister the years we was poorer than the other little kids And even though we had different daddy's, the drama When things went we'd blame mama I reminisce on the I caused, it was hell on my mama from a jail cell And think in elementary? Hey! I see the penitentiary, one day And running from the police, right Mama catch me, put a whooping to my And even as a crack fiend, You always was a queen, mama I finally For a woman it ain't easy to raise a man You was committed A poor single mother on welfare, me how ya did it no way I can pay you back But the plan is to you that I understand You are
Don't ya know we ya? Sweet lady 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 cause the coward wasn't there He passed and I didn't cry, cause my anger 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 sold drugs showed a young brother love I moved out and started hanging I needed of my own so I started slanging I ain't guilty cause, though I sell rocks It feels good putting in your mailbox I paying rent when the rent's due I hope ya got the diamond necklace I sent to you 'Cause when I was low you was for me And left me alone because you cared for me And I see you coming home after work late You're in the kitchen trying to fix us a hot Ya just working with the you was given And mama made every Thanksgiving But now the road got rough, alone You're trying to raise two bad on your own And there's no way I can pay you But my is to show you that I understand You are
Don't ya know we love ya? lady And mama Place no one ya, sweet lady You are Don't ya we love ya?
Pour out some and I reminisce, cause through the drama I can always on my mama And it seems that I'm hopeless You say the words can get me back in focus I was sick as a little kid To keep me happy there's no to the things you did And all my memories Are of all the sweet things you did for me And even I act crazy I gotta thank the Lord that you me There are no that 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 wish I 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 struggle everyday, roll on And no way I can pay you back But my is to show you that I understand You are
Don't ya we love ya? Sweet lady And mama Place no one above ya, sweet You are ya know we love ya?
Sweet And dear
mama Lady, lady,
