You are
When I was young me and my had beef Seventeen years old kicked out on the Though back at the time, I never I'd see her face Ain't a alive that could take my mama's place Suspended from school, and 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 than the other kids And though we had different daddy's, the same drama When things went we'd blame mama I reminisce on the stress I caused, it was Hugging on my mama a jail cell And think in elementary? Hey! I see the penitentiary, one day And running the police, that's right Mama catch me, put a to my backside And as a crack fiend, mama You was a black queen, mama I understand For a woman it ain't easy 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 is to show you that I understand You are
Don't ya know we love ya? lady Dear Place no one above ya, sweet You are Don't ya know we ya?
Now ain't nobody tell us it was No from my daddy cause the coward wasn't there He away and I didn't cry, cause my anger Wouldn't let me for a stranger say I'm wrong and I'm heartless, but all along I was for a father he was gone I hung around with the Thugs, and even they sold drugs They a young brother love I moved out and started really I needed of my own so I started slanging I guilty cause, even though I sell rocks It feels good putting in your mailbox I love rent when the rent's due I hope ya got the diamond that I sent to you 'Cause when I was low you was for me And never left me because you cared for me And I could see you coming 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 every Thanksgiving But now the got rough, you're alone You're trying to raise two bad on your own And there's no way I can pay you But my plan is to you that I understand You are
Don't ya know we love ya? lady And dear Place no one above ya, sweet You are ya know we love ya?
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 sick as a kid To keep me happy no limit to the things you did And all my childhood Are of all the sweet things you did for me And though I act crazy I thank the Lord that you made me There are no words that can express how I You kept a secret, always stayed real And I appreciate, how you me And all the extra that you gave me I wish I could take the away If you can make it through the there's a brighter day Everything will be if ya hold on a struggle everyday, gotta roll on And there's no way I can pay you But my plan is to show you I understand You are
Don't ya know we love ya? lady And mama Place no one above ya, sweet You are ya know we love ya?
Sweet And dear
mama Lady, lady,
