You are
When I was a and ma mama had me Seventeen years old kicked out on the Though back at the time, I thought I'd see her face a woman alive that could take my mama's place
Suspended from and scared to go home, I was a fool With the big boys, all the rules I shed tears with my baby 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 cell and 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 queen, mama
I finally understand for a woman it easy Tryin' to a man you always was committed 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, don't cha 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 tell us it was No from my daddy 'cause the coward wasn't there He passed away and I cry, cause my anger Wouldn't let me feel for a
say I'm wrong and I'm heartless, but all along I was lookin' for a father he was I hung around the Thugs, and even though they sold drugs showed a young brother love
I moved out and started really I needed money of my own so I shaggin' I ain't guilty 'cause, even though I rocks It good puttin' money in your mailbox
I love payin' rent the rent's due I hope ya got the diamond necklace that I to you 'Cause 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 You're in the kitchen tryin' to fix us a hot Ya just workin' with the you was given And mama miracles every thanksgivin'
But now the road got rough, here 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 I understand you are appreciated
Lady, cha know we love ya? Sweet lady And dear place no one above ya, sweet lady You are appreciated, don't cha we love ya?
Pour out some and I reminisce, 'cause through the drama I can always depend on my 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 me happy there's no limit to the things you did And all my memories Are full of all the sweet you did for me
And even though I act I gotta thank the Lord that you me There are no words that can how I feel You never kept a secret, stayed real
And I appreciate, how you me And all the love that you gave me I wish I could take the 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, roll on And no way I can pay you back But my plan is to show you that I you are appreciated
Lady, don't cha know we love ya? Sweet And mama place no one above ya, sweet lady You are appreciated, cha know we love ya?
Sweet lady, and dear Dear mama, lady, lady,
