You are
When I was young me and my mama had Seventeen years old kicked out on the back at the time, I never thought I'd see her face Ain't a woman alive 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 tears 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 things went we'd blame mama I reminisce on the I caused, it was hell Hugging on my mama from a jail And who'd in elementary? Hey! I see the penitentiary, one day And from the police, that's right catch me, put a whooping to my backside And even as a fiend, mama You always was a black queen, I understand For a woman it ain't trying to raise a man You always was 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
Don't ya we love ya? Sweet lady Dear Place no one ya, sweet lady You are Don't ya we love ya?
Now ain't tell 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 for a stranger They say I'm and I'm heartless, but all along I was looking for a he was gone I hung around with the Thugs, and even though they drugs showed a young brother love I out and started really hanging I needed money of my own so I started I ain't guilty cause, though I sell rocks It feels good putting in your mailbox I paying 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 never me alone because you cared for me And I see you coming home after work late You're in the kitchen trying to fix us a hot Ya just with the scraps you was given And mama made miracles Thanksgiving But now the road got rough, you're You're trying to raise two bad kids on own And no way I can pay you back But my is to show you that I understand You are

Pour out some and I reminisce, cause through the drama I can always on my mama And it seems that I'm hopeless You say the words that can get me in focus When I was as a little kid To keep me there's no limit to the things you did And all my childhood Are full of all the sweet you did for me And though I act crazy I gotta thank the Lord that you me There are no words can express how I feel You never kept a secret, always stayed And I appreciate, how you me And all the extra love you gave me I wish I could take the away If you can it through the night there's a brighter day Everything will be alright if ya on It's a everyday, gotta roll on And no way I can pay you back But my plan is to show you that I You are
