You are
When I was a and ma mama had me years old kicked out on the streets Though back at the time, I never thought I'd see her Ain't a woman alive that could take my mama's
Suspended from school and to go home, I was a fool With the big boys, breakin' all the I tears with my baby sister Over the years we was poorer than the little kids
And though we had different daddy's, the same drama things went wrong we'd blame mama I reminisce on the I caused, it was hell Huggin' on my mama from a jail cell and school elementary?
Hey, I see the penitentiary, one day And runnin' the police, that's right Mama me, put a whoopin' to my backside And as a crack theme, mama You always was a queen, mama
I finally understand for a woman it easy Tryin' to raise a man you was committed A single mother on welfare, tell me how ya did it no way I can pay you back But the plan is to show you that I understand you are
Lady, cha know we love ya? Sweet lady Dear mama, no one above ya, sweet lady You are appreciated, cha know we love ya?
Now ain't nobody tell us it was No love from my daddy 'cause the coward there He passed away and I didn't cry, my anger Wouldn't let me for a stranger
They say I'm and I'm heartless, but all along I was lookin' for a he was gone I hung around with the Thugs, and even though sold drugs showed a young brother love
I moved out and started really I money of my own so I started shaggin' I ain't guilty 'cause, even though I sell It feels good puttin' in your mailbox
I love payin' rent the rent's due I hope ya got the necklace that 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 comin' home work late in the kitchen tryin' to fix us a hot plate Ya just with the scraps you was given And mama miracles every thanksgivin'
But now the road got rough, alone You're tryin' to raise two bad kids on own And no way I can pay you back But my plan is to show you that I you are appreciated
Lady, don't cha we love ya? Sweet lady And dear mama no one above ya, sweet lady You are appreciated, don't cha we love ya?
Pour out some liquor and I reminisce, 'cause the drama I can depend on my mama And it seems that I'm hopeless You say the words can get me back in focus
I was sick as a little kid To keep me happy there's no limit to the 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 that can express how I feel You never a secret, always stayed real
And I appreciate, how you me And all the extra love that you me I wish I could the pain away If you can make it through the night there's a day
Everything will be if ya hold on a struggle everyday, gotta roll on And no way I can pay you back But my plan is to show you I understand you are appreciated
Lady, cha know we love ya? Sweet lady And dear mama no one above ya, sweet lady You are appreciated, don't cha we love ya?
Sweet lady, and dear mama, lady, lady, lady
