You are
When I was young me and my mama had 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 from school, and 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 than the other kids And though we had different daddy's, the same drama When things went wrong we'd mama I reminisce on the stress I caused, it was Hugging on my mama from a cell And think in elementary? Hey! I see the penitentiary, one day And running from the police, right catch me, put a whooping to my backside And even as a crack fiend, You was a black queen, mama I understand For a woman it ain't easy to raise a man You was committed A single mother on welfare, tell me how ya did it no way I can pay you back But the plan is to you that I understand You are
Don't ya we love ya? Sweet lady Dear Place no one above ya, lady You are Don't ya we love ya?
Now ain't nobody us it was fair No love from my daddy cause the wasn't there He passed away and I didn't cry, cause my let me feel for a stranger They say I'm and I'm heartless, but all along I was for a father he was gone I hung around the Thugs, and even though they sold drugs They showed a young brother I moved out and started really I needed money of my own so I started I ain't cause, even though I sell rocks It feels putting money in your mailbox 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 me alone because you cared for me And I could see you coming home after late You're in the kitchen trying to fix us a hot Ya just with the scraps you was given And made miracles every Thanksgiving But now the got rough, you're alone You're trying to raise two bad kids on 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 mama Place no one ya, sweet lady You are Don't ya know we ya?
Pour out some and I reminisce, cause through the drama I can depend on my mama And when it that I'm hopeless You say the words that can get me in focus When I was as a little kid To keep me happy there's no to the things you did And all my memories 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 words that can express how I You kept a secret, always stayed real And I appreciate, how you me And all the love that you gave me I wish I could take the away If you can make it through the night a brighter day Everything will be if ya hold on a struggle everyday, gotta roll on 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 mama Place no one above ya, lady You are Don't ya know we ya?
Sweet And dear
mama Lady, lady,
