I was young me and my mama had beef 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 from school, 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 than the other kids And even we had different daddy's, the same drama When things went wrong we'd blame I on the stress I caused, it was hell on my mama from a jail cell And who'd think in Hey! I see the penitentiary, one day And running from the police, right Mama catch me, put a whooping to my And even as a crack fiend, You always was a queen, mama I understand For a it ain't easy trying to raise a man You was committed A poor single mother on welfare, me how ya did it no way I can pay you back But the is to show you that I understand You are
