You are
I was young me and my mama had beef Seventeen old kicked out on the streets Though back at the time, I thought I'd see her face Ain't a woman alive that could my mama's place Suspended from school, and to go home, I was a fool With the big boys, breaking all the I shed tears 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 wrong we'd blame mama I reminisce on the stress I caused, it was Hugging on my mama from a jail And think 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 was a black queen, mama I understand For a woman it easy trying to raise a man You always was A poor 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 know we ya? Sweet lady Dear no one above ya, sweet lady You are Don't ya we love ya?
Now ain't nobody us it was fair No from my daddy cause the coward wasn't there He passed away and I didn't cry, 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 though they sold They showed a brother love I moved out and started hanging I needed money of my own so I slanging I guilty cause, even though I sell rocks It feels putting money in your mailbox I paying rent when the rent's due I hope ya got the diamond that I sent to you when I was low you was there for me And never left me alone because you for me And I could see you coming home work late You're in the kitchen to fix us a hot plate Ya just working with the scraps you was And mama made miracles Thanksgiving But now the road got rough, alone trying to raise two bad kids on your own And no way I can pay you back But my plan is to you that I understand You are
Don't ya know we love ya? Sweet And mama Place no one ya, sweet lady You are ya know we love ya?
Pour out some liquor and I reminisce, cause through the I can always on my mama And when it that I'm hopeless You say the words that can get me back in When I was as a little kid To keep me there's no limit to the things you did And all my memories Are full of all the sweet you did for me And though I act crazy I gotta the Lord that you made me There are no that can express how I feel You never kept a secret, always real And I appreciate, how you me And all the love that you gave me I I could take the pain away If you can make it through the night a brighter day will be alright if ya hold on It's a struggle everyday, gotta 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? Sweet And dear Place no one ya, sweet lady You are Don't ya we love ya?
