You are
When I was young me and my 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 kids And though we had different daddy's, the same drama When things wrong we'd blame mama I on the stress I caused, it was hell Hugging on my from a jail cell And think in elementary? Hey! I see the penitentiary, one day And running from the police, right Mama catch me, put a to my backside And even as a fiend, mama You always was a queen, mama I understand For a woman it ain't easy to raise a man You always was A single mother on welfare, tell me how ya did it no way I can pay you back But the plan is to show you that I You are
Don't ya know we ya? Sweet lady mama Place no one ya, sweet lady You are Don't ya we love ya?
Now nobody tell us it was fair No love from my daddy cause the wasn't there He passed away and I didn't cry, cause my Wouldn't let me feel for a They say I'm wrong and I'm heartless, but all I was looking for a he was gone I hung around with the Thugs, and even though they drugs They showed a brother love I moved out and started really I needed money of my own so I slanging I ain't guilty cause, though I sell rocks It feels putting money in your mailbox I love paying rent the rent's due I ya got the diamond necklace that I sent to you 'Cause when I was low you was for me And never left me alone you cared for me And I see you coming home after work late You're in the trying to fix us a hot plate Ya just working the scraps you was given And made miracles every Thanksgiving But now the road got rough, alone You're trying to raise two bad on your own And no way I can pay you back But my plan is to show you I understand You are
Don't ya know we love ya? lady And mama Place no one ya, sweet lady You are ya know we love ya?
Pour out some and I reminisce, cause through the drama I can always depend on my And when it seems I'm hopeless You say the words that can get me in focus When I was as a little kid To keep me happy there's no limit to the you did And all my childhood Are full of all the things you did for me And even though I act I gotta thank the Lord you made 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 that you gave me I wish I take the pain away If you can make it the night there's a brighter day Everything will be if ya hold on It's a struggle everyday, roll on And no way I can pay you back But my is to show you that I understand You are
Don't ya know we love ya? lady And dear Place no one above ya, sweet You are Don't ya we love ya?
