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 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 with my sister the years we was poorer than the other little kids
And even though we had daddy's, the same drama When things went wrong 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 catch me, put a whoopin' to my backside And even as a crack theme, You always was a black queen,
I finally understand for a it ain't easy Tryin' to raise a man you always was A poor single mother on welfare, 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, cha know we love ya? Sweet lady Dear mama, place no one above ya, sweet You are appreciated, don't cha know we ya?
Now ain't nobody us it was fair No love my daddy 'cause the coward wasn't there He passed away and I didn't cry, 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 hung around with the Thugs, and even though sold drugs showed a young brother love
I moved out and really hangin' I needed of my own so I started shaggin' I ain't 'cause, even though I sell rocks It feels good money in your mailbox
I love payin' rent when the due I hope ya got the diamond necklace 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 work late You're in the tryin' to fix us a hot plate Ya just workin' with the you was given And mama made miracles every
But now the got rough, here alone You're tryin' to two bad kids on your own And there's no way I can pay you But my plan is to show you that I understand you are
Lady, cha know we love ya? Sweet lady And dear mama place no one ya, sweet lady You are appreciated, don't cha we love ya?
Pour out some liquor and I reminisce, 'cause through the I can always depend on my And when it that I'm hopeless You say the that can get me back in focus
When I was as a little kid To me happy there's no limit to the things you did And all my memories Are full of all the things you did for me
And though I act crazy I gotta thank the that you made me are no words that can express how I feel You kept a secret, always stayed real
And I appreciate, how you me And all the love that you gave me I wish I take the pain away If you can make it the night there's a brighter day
Everything be alright if ya hold on It's a struggle everyday, gotta on And no way I can pay you back But my plan is to you that I understand you are appreciated
Lady, don't cha know we love ya? lady And dear mama place no one above ya, sweet You are appreciated, don't cha we love ya?
Sweet lady, and dear Dear mama, lady, lady,
