I see the penitentiary, one day And running from the police, that's Mama catch me, put a to my backside And even as a fiend, mama You was a black 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 There's no way I can pay you But the plan is to you that I understand You are

Pour out some and I reminisce, cause through the drama I can depend on my mama And when it that I'm hopeless You say the words can get me back in focus When I was sick as a 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 though I act crazy I gotta thank the Lord that you me There are no words can express how I feel You never a secret, always stayed real And I appreciate, how you me And all the extra that you gave me I wish I could take the away If you can make it the night there's a brighter day Everything be alright if ya hold on a struggle everyday, gotta roll on 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? Sweet And mama Place no one above ya, sweet You are Don't ya we love ya?
