I was young me and my mama had beef Seventeen years old kicked out on the back at the time, I never thought I'd see her face Ain't a alive 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 shed tears my baby sister Over the years we was poorer the other little kids And even though we had daddy's, the same drama When things wrong we'd blame mama I on the stress I caused, it was hell Hugging on my mama from a jail 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 even as a crack fiend, You always was a queen, mama I finally For a it ain't easy trying 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
