You are
When I was a and ma mama had me Seventeen old kicked out on the streets back at the time, I never thought I'd see her face Ain't a woman that could take my mama's place
Suspended from and scared to go home, I was a fool With the big boys, breakin' all the I shed with my baby sister Over the years we was poorer the other little kids
And though we had different daddy's, the same drama When things went wrong blame mama I reminisce on the stress I caused, it was Huggin' on my mama from a jail and high school elementary?
Hey, I see the penitentiary, one day And from the police, that's right catch me, put a whoopin' to my backside And as a crack theme, mama You always was a black queen,
I finally for a woman it ain't easy Tryin' to raise a man you was committed A poor single on welfare, tell me how ya did it There's no way I can pay you But the plan is to show you that I you are appreciated
Lady, don't cha know we love ya? lady Dear mama, place no one above ya, sweet You are appreciated, don't cha we love ya?
Now ain't nobody us it was fair No love my daddy 'cause the coward wasn't there He passed away and I cry, cause my anger Wouldn't let me for a stranger
They say I'm wrong and I'm heartless, but all I was lookin' for a he was gone I hung around the Thugs, and even though they sold drugs They a young brother love
I moved out and really hangin' I needed money of my own so I started I ain't 'cause, even though I sell rocks It feels good puttin' in your mailbox
I love rent when the rent's due I ya got the diamond necklace that I sent to you 'Cause I was low you was there for me And never left me alone because you for me
And I could see you comin' home after work You're in the kitchen to fix us a hot plate Ya just workin' the scraps you was given And mama made miracles every
But now the road got rough, alone You're to raise two bad kids on your own And no way I can pay you back But my plan is to show you I understand you are appreciated
Lady, don't cha know we ya? Sweet lady And dear mama place no one above ya, sweet You are appreciated, cha know we love ya?
Pour out some liquor and I reminisce, 'cause the drama I can always on my mama And when it seems I'm hopeless You say the that can get me back in focus
When I was sick as a kid To keep me happy no limit to the things you did And all my memories Are of all the sweet things you did for me
And though I act crazy I gotta thank the that you made me There are no that can express how I feel You never kept a secret, stayed real
And I appreciate, how you me And all the extra love that you me I wish I could take the away If you can make it through the there's a brighter day
Everything will be alright if ya on It's a everyday, gotta roll on And no way I can pay you back But my plan is to show you that I understand you are
Lady, don't cha know we ya? Sweet lady And dear mama no one above ya, sweet lady You are appreciated, don't cha we love ya?
Sweet lady, and mama Dear mama, lady, lady,
