You are
When I was me and my mama had beef Seventeen old kicked 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 school, and scared to go home, I was a fool With the big boys, all the rules I shed tears with my sister Over the years we was poorer the other 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 from a cell And who'd think in 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 always was a queen, mama I understand For a woman it ain't trying to raise a man You was committed A poor single 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 love ya? Sweet mama Place no one ya, sweet lady You are ya know we love ya?
Now ain't nobody us it was fair No from my daddy cause the coward wasn't there He away and I didn't cry, cause my anger let me feel for a stranger They say I'm and I'm heartless, but all along I was looking for a father he was I hung around with the Thugs, and even though they sold They showed a brother love I moved out and started hanging I needed money of my own so I slanging I ain't guilty cause, even I sell rocks It good putting money in your mailbox I love paying rent when the due I hope ya got the diamond that I sent to you 'Cause I was low you was there for me And left me alone because you cared for me And I see you coming home after work late You're in the kitchen trying to fix us a hot Ya just with the scraps you was given And mama miracles every Thanksgiving But now the road got rough, you're You're trying to raise two bad kids on own And no way I can pay you back But my is to show you that 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 on my mama And it seems that I'm hopeless You say the words that can get me back in I was sick as a little kid To keep me there's no limit to the things you did And all my memories Are of all the sweet things you did for me And even though I act I gotta thank the that you made me are no words that can express how I feel You never kept a secret, stayed real And I appreciate, how you me And all the extra that you gave me I wish I could take the pain If you can it through the night there's a brighter day Everything will be alright if ya on It's a struggle everyday, roll on And no way I can pay you back But my plan is to show you that I You are
Don't ya know we love ya? lady And dear no one above ya, sweet lady You are Don't ya know we ya?
