You are
I was young me and my mama had beef Seventeen years old kicked out on the back at the time, I never thought I'd see her face Ain't a woman alive that take my mama's place Suspended school, and scared to go home, I was a fool the big boys, breaking all the rules I shed tears with my baby Over the years we was poorer than the little kids And even though we had daddy's, the same drama When went wrong we'd blame mama I on the stress I caused, it was hell Hugging on my mama from a cell And think 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 it ain't easy 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 I understand You are
Don't ya know we ya? Sweet lady Dear no one above ya, sweet lady You are ya know we love ya?
Now ain't 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 feel for a say I'm wrong and I'm heartless, but all along I was looking for a father he was I around with the Thugs, and even though they sold drugs They a young brother love I moved out and started really I needed money of my own so I started I ain't guilty cause, though I sell rocks It feels good putting in your mailbox 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 trying to fix us a hot plate Ya just working 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 on your own And there's no way I can pay you But my plan is to you that I understand You are
Don't ya we love ya? Sweet lady And mama no one above ya, sweet lady You are ya know we love ya?
Pour out some liquor and I reminisce, cause through the I can always on my mama And when it seems that I'm You say the words that can get me in focus When I was sick as a kid To me happy there's no limit to the things you did And all my memories Are full of all the things you did for me And even I act crazy I thank the Lord that you made me are no words that can express how I feel You never a secret, always stayed real And I appreciate, how you me And all the extra love that you me I wish I take the pain away If you can it through the night there's a brighter day Everything be alright if ya hold 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
