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 alive could take my mama's place Suspended from school, and to go home, I was a fool the big boys, breaking all the rules I shed tears with my sister Over the years we was poorer than the other little And even though we had different daddy's, the same When things went we'd blame mama I on the stress I caused, it was hell Hugging on my mama from a cell And who'd think in Hey! I see the penitentiary, one day And from the police, that's right catch me, put a whooping to my backside And as a crack fiend, mama You was a black queen, mama I finally 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 There's no way I can pay you But the plan is to you that I understand You are

Now ain't nobody tell us it was No love from my daddy cause the coward wasn't He passed and I didn't cry, cause my anger Wouldn't let me feel for a They say I'm and I'm heartless, but all along I was looking for a he was gone I hung around with the Thugs, and even they sold drugs showed a young brother love I moved out and started really I needed of my own so I started slanging I ain't cause, even though I sell rocks It feels good putting money in your I love paying 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 because you cared for me And I could see you coming home after work You're in the kitchen trying to fix us a hot Ya working with the scraps you was given And mama miracles every Thanksgiving But now the got rough, you're alone You're trying to two bad kids on your own And there's no way I can pay you But my plan is to show you I understand You are
