Luyện nghe bài hát Dear Mama

You are

When I was a youngin' and ma had me
years old kicked out on the streets
Though back at the time, I thought I'd see her face
Ain't a woman that could take my mama's place

from school and scared to go home, I was a fool
With the big boys, all the rules
I shed tears my baby sister
Over the years we was poorer than the little kids

And even we had different daddy's, the same drama
things went wrong we'd blame mama
I reminisce on the stress I caused, it was
Huggin' on my mama a jail cell and high school elementary?

Hey, I see the penitentiary, one day
And runnin' the police, that's right
Mama catch me, put a whoopin' to my
And even as a theme, mama
You was a black queen, mama

I finally understand for a woman it ain't
Tryin' 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 show you I understand you are appreciated

Lady, cha know we love ya? Sweet lady
Dear mama, place no one ya, sweet lady
You are appreciated, don't cha know we ya?

Now ain't nobody tell us it was
No love from my daddy the coward wasn't there
He away and I didn't cry, cause my anger
Wouldn't let me feel for a

They say I'm wrong and I'm heartless, but all
I was lookin' for a father he was
I hung around with the Thugs, and even though sold drugs
They a young brother love

I moved out and started really
I needed money of my own so I started
I ain't guilty 'cause, even though I sell
It feels good money in your mailbox

I love payin' rent the rent's due
I hope ya got the diamond necklace I sent to you
when I was low you was there for me
And never me alone because you cared for me

And I could see you comin' home after work
in the kitchen tryin' to fix us a hot plate
Ya just workin' with the scraps you was
And mama miracles every thanksgivin'

But now the got rough, here alone
You're tryin' to raise two bad on your own
And there's no way I can pay you
But my plan is to show you that I you are appreciated

Lady, cha know we love ya? Sweet lady
And dear mama no one above ya, sweet lady
You are appreciated, cha know we love ya?

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 of all the sweet things you did for me

And though I act crazy
I gotta the Lord that you made me
There are no words that can express how I
You never kept a secret, stayed real

And I appreciate, how you me
And all the extra that you gave me
I wish I could the pain away
If you can it through the night there's a brighter day

Everything will be alright if ya 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 appreciated

Lady, don't cha know we love ya? Sweet
And dear mama place no one above ya, sweet
You are appreciated, don't cha know we ya?

lady, and dear mama
Dear mama, lady, lady,
