I see the penitentiary, one day And from the police, that's right Mama catch me, put a to my backside And as a crack fiend, mama You always was a queen, mama I understand For a it ain't easy trying to raise a man You was committed A poor single mother on welfare, me how ya did it no way I can pay you back But the plan is to show you that I You are
