I was young me and my mama had beef Seventeen old kicked out on the streets Though back at the time, I never I'd see her face Ain't a woman alive that could take my place from school, and scared to go home, I was a fool With the big boys, all the rules I shed tears with my sister Over the years we was poorer than the other kids And even though we had different daddy's, the same When things went wrong we'd mama I reminisce on the I caused, it was hell on my mama from a jail cell And who'd in elementary? Hey! I see the penitentiary, one day And running from the police, right Mama me, put a whooping to my backside And even as a fiend, mama You was a black queen, mama I finally For a woman it ain't trying to raise a man You always was A poor single on welfare, tell me how ya did it no way I can pay you back But the plan is to show you I understand You are
