You are
When I was young me and my had beef Seventeen years old out on the streets Though back at the time, I never I'd see her face a woman alive that could take my mama's place Suspended school, and scared to go home, I was a fool the big boys, breaking all the rules I shed tears with my baby Over the years we was poorer the other little kids And even we had different daddy's, the same drama When went wrong we'd blame mama I reminisce on the I caused, it was hell Hugging on my mama from a cell And who'd think in 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 always was a queen, mama I finally For a it ain't easy trying to raise a man You always was A single mother on welfare, tell me how ya did it no way I can pay you back But the plan is to show you that I You are

Now ain't tell us it was fair No love from my daddy 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 looking for a father he was I hung around with the Thugs, and even they sold drugs They showed a brother love I moved out and started really I money of my own so I started slanging I ain't guilty cause, even though I rocks It feels good putting money in your I love paying rent 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 could see you coming home after late You're in the kitchen to fix us a hot plate Ya just working with the scraps you was And mama miracles every Thanksgiving But now the got rough, you're alone You're trying to raise two bad on your 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 depend on my And when it that I'm hopeless You say the words that can get me back in 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 things you did for me And even I act crazy I gotta thank the Lord that you me There are no words that can express how I You never kept a secret, stayed real And I appreciate, how you me And all the extra love you gave me I I could take the pain away If you can make it through the there's a brighter day Everything will be if ya hold on It's a everyday, gotta roll on And there's no way I can pay you But my is to show you that I understand You are
