You are
I was young me and my mama had beef Seventeen years old out on the streets Though back at the time, I never thought I'd see her Ain't a alive that could take my mama's place Suspended from school, and to go home, I was a fool With the big boys, all the rules I shed with my baby sister Over the we was poorer than the other little kids And even we had different daddy's, the same drama things went wrong we'd blame mama I on the stress I caused, it was hell Hugging on my mama a jail cell And who'd think in Hey! I see the penitentiary, one day And running from the police, right Mama catch me, put a to my backside And as a crack fiend, mama You was a black queen, mama I finally For a woman it easy trying 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 show you that I You are
Don't ya we love ya? Sweet lady mama Place no one above ya, sweet You are Don't ya know we ya?
Now ain't tell us it was fair No love from my daddy cause the coward wasn't He passed away and I didn't cry, 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 with the Thugs, and even though sold drugs showed a young brother love I moved out and really hanging I needed money of my own so I slanging I ain't guilty cause, though I sell rocks It good putting money in your mailbox I love paying rent when the due I hope ya got the diamond necklace I sent to you when I was low you was there for me And never left me alone because you for me And I could see you coming after work late You're in the kitchen to fix us a hot plate Ya just with the scraps you was given And made miracles 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

Pour out some liquor and I reminisce, cause through the I can always on my mama And when it seems I'm hopeless You say the words can get me back in focus When I was as a little kid To keep me happy there's no limit to the you did And all my childhood Are of all the sweet things you did for me And even though I act I thank the Lord that you made me There are no words that can how I feel You never kept a secret, stayed real And I appreciate, how you me And all the love that you gave me I I could take the pain away If you can it through the night there's a brighter day will be alright if ya hold on It's a struggle everyday, roll on And there's no way I can pay you But my plan is to show you that I You are
Don't ya know we love ya? Sweet And dear no one above ya, sweet lady You are Don't ya know we ya?
Sweet And dear
