You are
When I was me and my mama had beef Seventeen years old out on the streets Though back at the time, I never 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 tears with my baby sister Over the years we was poorer than the other little And though we had different daddy's, the same drama When went wrong we'd blame mama I reminisce on the I caused, it was hell Hugging on my from a jail cell And who'd in elementary? Hey! I see the penitentiary, one day And running from the police, that's Mama me, put a whooping to my backside And even as a fiend, mama You always was a queen, mama I understand For a woman it ain't easy trying to a man You 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
Don't ya we love ya? Sweet lady mama Place no one above ya, lady You are ya know we love ya?
Now nobody tell us it was fair No love from my cause the coward wasn't there He away and I didn't cry, cause my anger Wouldn't let me feel for a say I'm wrong and I'm heartless, but all along I was looking for a he was gone I hung around with the Thugs, and even they sold drugs They showed a young love I moved out and really hanging I money of my own so I started slanging I ain't guilty cause, even I sell rocks It feels good putting money in your I love paying when the rent's due I hope ya got the necklace that 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 coming home after late in the kitchen trying to fix us a hot plate Ya working with the scraps you was given And mama made miracles every But now the road got rough, you're trying to raise two bad kids on your own And no way I can pay you back But my plan is to show you that I You are

Pour out some liquor and I reminisce, cause through the I can depend on my mama And when it seems that I'm You say the words that can get me back in When I was as a little kid To keep me happy there's no limit to the you did And all my childhood Are of all the sweet things you did for me And even though I act I gotta thank the Lord you made me There are no words that can how I feel You kept a secret, always stayed real And I appreciate, how you me And all the extra love you gave me I I could take the pain away If you can make it through the night there's a day Everything will be alright if ya on a struggle everyday, gotta roll on And no way I can pay you back But my is to show you that I understand You are
Don't ya we love ya? Sweet lady And dear no one above ya, sweet lady You are Don't ya know we ya?
