Hey! I see the penitentiary, one day And from the police, that's right Mama catch me, put a whooping to my And even as a crack fiend, You was a black queen, mama I understand For a woman it ain't easy to raise a man You was committed A poor 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 nobody tell us it was No love from my daddy cause the coward wasn't He away and I didn't cry, cause my anger let me feel for a stranger They say I'm wrong and I'm heartless, but all I was looking for a father he was I hung around with the Thugs, and though they sold drugs They showed a young love I out and started really hanging I money of my own so I started slanging I ain't guilty cause, though I sell rocks It good putting money in your mailbox I love paying when the rent's due I hope ya got the diamond that I sent to you when I was low you was there 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 made every Thanksgiving But now the road got rough, alone You're to raise two bad kids 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 liquor and I reminisce, cause through the drama I can always depend on my And when it seems I'm hopeless You say the words that can get me back in When I was sick as a kid To keep me happy there's no limit to the you did And all my childhood Are full of all the things you did for me And even I act crazy I gotta thank the that you made me There are no words can express how I feel You kept 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 a brighter 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
Don't ya know we love ya? Sweet And mama Place no one ya, sweet lady You are Don't ya know we ya?
