You are
When I was young me and my mama had Seventeen years old kicked out on the back at the time, I never thought I'd see her face Ain't a woman alive that take my mama's place Suspended from school, and to go home, I was a fool With the big boys, breaking all the I shed tears with my baby Over the years we was poorer than the other little And even we had different daddy's, the same drama When things went wrong we'd blame I reminisce on the stress I caused, it was Hugging on my from a jail cell And think in elementary? Hey! I see the penitentiary, one day And running from the police, that's catch me, put a whooping to my backside And even as a crack fiend, You always was a black queen, I finally For a it ain't easy trying to raise a man You was committed A single mother on welfare, tell me how ya did it There's no way I can pay you But the is to show you that I understand You are
Don't ya we love ya? Sweet lady Dear no one above ya, sweet lady You are Don't ya we love ya?
Now ain't nobody us it was fair No love from my daddy cause the coward there He passed and I didn't cry, cause my anger Wouldn't let me feel for a say I'm wrong and I'm heartless, but all along I was looking for a father he was I hung around the Thugs, and even though they sold drugs They showed a young brother I out and started really hanging I needed money of my own so I slanging I ain't guilty cause, even though I sell It feels good putting money in your I love paying when the rent's due I hope ya got the necklace that I sent to you 'Cause when I was low you was for me And never left me alone because you for me And I could see you coming home after work You're in the trying 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 trying to raise two bad kids on your own And there's no way I can pay you But my plan is to show you I understand You are
Don't ya we love ya? Sweet lady And mama no one above ya, sweet lady You are Don't ya we love ya?
Pour out liquor and I reminisce, cause through the drama I can always on my mama And when it seems that I'm You say the words can get me back in focus When I was as a little kid To keep me there's no limit to the things you did And all my childhood Are full of all the things you did for me And even though I act I gotta thank the Lord you made me There are no words that can express how I You never 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 there's a brighter day Everything be alright if ya hold on It's a struggle everyday, gotta on And no way I can pay you back But my plan is to show you that I You are
