You are
When I was young me and my had beef years old kicked out on the streets Though back at the time, I thought I'd see her face Ain't a woman alive could take my mama's place Suspended 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 little And even we had different daddy's, the same drama When things wrong we'd blame mama I reminisce on the stress I caused, it was Hugging on my from a jail cell And who'd in elementary? Hey! I see the penitentiary, one day And running the police, that's right Mama me, put a whooping to my backside And even as a fiend, mama You always was a black queen, I understand For a woman it ain't 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
Don't ya know we ya? Sweet lady Dear Place no one above ya, lady You are Don't ya know we ya?
Now nobody tell us it was fair No love 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 They say I'm and I'm heartless, but all along I was for a father he was gone I hung with the Thugs, and even though they sold drugs showed a young brother love I moved out and started hanging I money of my own so I started slanging I ain't cause, even though I sell rocks It good putting money in your mailbox I paying rent when the rent's due I hope ya got the necklace that I sent to you 'Cause I was low you was there for me And never left me alone you cared for me And I could see you coming home after work You're in the kitchen to fix us a hot plate Ya just working the scraps you was given And mama made every Thanksgiving But now the road got rough, alone You're trying to raise two bad on your own 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 ya? Sweet lady And dear no one above ya, sweet lady You are Don't ya know we ya?
Pour out some liquor and I reminisce, through the drama I can always depend on my And when it seems I'm hopeless You say the that can get me back in focus When I was sick as a kid To keep me happy no limit to the things you did And all my childhood Are of all the sweet things you did for me And though I act crazy I gotta thank the 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 extra love that you me I wish I could the pain away If you can make it through the night a brighter day Everything will be if ya hold on It's a struggle everyday, roll on And there's no way I can pay you But my is to show you that I understand You are
Don't ya we love ya? Sweet lady And dear Place no one ya, sweet lady You are Don't ya know we ya?
lady And mama
