You are
When I was a and ma mama had me years old kicked out on the streets Though at the time, I never thought I'd see her face Ain't a woman alive that could take my mama's
from school 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 even though we had different daddy's, the same When went wrong we'd blame mama I reminisce on the I caused, it was hell Huggin' on my from a jail cell and high school elementary?
Hey, I see the penitentiary, one day And runnin' from the police, that's Mama me, put a whoopin' to my backside And even as a crack theme, You always was a queen, mama
I finally for a woman it ain't easy Tryin' to raise a man you always was A poor mother on welfare, tell me how ya did it no way I can pay you back But the plan is to you that I understand you are appreciated
Lady, cha know we love ya? Sweet lady Dear mama, place no one above ya, sweet You are appreciated, cha know we love ya?
Now ain't nobody us it was fair 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 and I'm heartless, but all along I was lookin' for a he was gone I around with the Thugs, and even though they sold drugs They showed a 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 rocks It feels puttin' money in your mailbox
I payin' rent when the rent's due I hope ya got the diamond necklace I sent to you 'Cause I was low you was there for me And left me alone because you cared for me
And I could see you comin' home after late 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 got rough, here alone You're tryin' to raise two bad kids on own And there's no way I can pay you But my is to show you that I understand you are appreciated
Lady, don't cha know we ya? Sweet lady And dear mama place no one above ya, lady You are appreciated, don't cha know we ya?
out some liquor and I reminisce, 'cause through the drama I can always on my mama And when it that I'm hopeless You say the words that can get me 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 full of all the things you did for me
And even 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, always stayed
And I appreciate, how you me And all the extra that you gave me I wish I could the pain away If you can make it through the there's a brighter day
Everything be alright if ya hold on It's a struggle everyday, roll on And no way I can pay you back But my is to show you that I understand you are appreciated
Lady, don't cha know we ya? Sweet lady And dear mama place no one ya, sweet lady You are appreciated, cha know we love ya?
Sweet lady, and dear mama, lady, lady, lady
