You are
When I was me and my mama had beef years old kicked out on the streets Though at the time, I never thought 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, breaking all the I tears with my baby sister Over the years we was poorer than the little kids And even we had different daddy's, the same drama When went wrong 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 from the police, that's right Mama me, put a whooping to my backside And even as a fiend, mama You was a black queen, mama I finally For a it ain't easy trying to raise a man You was committed 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? Sweet Dear Place no one above ya, lady You are Don't ya we love ya?
Now nobody tell us it was fair No love my daddy cause the coward wasn't there He passed away and I 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 father he was I hung around with the Thugs, and though they sold drugs showed a young brother love I out and started 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 rent when the due I ya got the diamond necklace 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 after work You're in the trying to fix us a hot plate Ya just working with the scraps you was And mama made every Thanksgiving But now the road got rough, alone You're trying to raise two bad kids on own And there's no way I can pay you But my is to show you that I understand You are
Don't ya know we ya? Sweet lady And dear Place no one above ya, lady You are ya know we love ya?
Pour out some and I reminisce, cause through the drama I can always on my mama 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 there's no limit to the things you did And all my memories Are full of all the sweet you did for me And even though I act I gotta thank the Lord that you me There are no words that can how I feel You never kept a secret, always real And I appreciate, how you me And all the extra love that you me I wish I could take the away If you can make it through the night there's a day Everything be alright if ya hold on It's a struggle everyday, gotta on And no way I can pay you back But my plan is to show you I understand You are
Don't ya know we ya? Sweet lady And mama Place no one above ya, lady You are Don't ya know we ya?
