You are
When I was me and my mama had beef Seventeen old kicked out on the streets Though at the time, I never thought I'd see her face Ain't a woman alive that could take my mama's Suspended from school, and to go home, I was a fool the big boys, breaking all the rules I shed tears my baby sister Over the years we was poorer than the other kids And even though we had different daddy's, the drama When things wrong we'd blame mama I reminisce on the I caused, it was hell Hugging on my mama a jail cell And think in elementary? Hey! I see the penitentiary, one day And from the police, that's right Mama catch me, put a to my backside And as a crack fiend, mama You always was a black queen, I understand For a woman it ain't easy to raise a man You was committed A poor single on welfare, tell me how ya did it There's no way I can pay you But the is to show you that I understand You are
Don't ya we love ya? Sweet lady mama Place no one above ya, lady You are Don't ya know we ya?
Now ain't nobody tell us it was No love from my daddy cause the coward wasn't He passed away and I didn't cry, cause my Wouldn't let me for a stranger They say I'm 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 showed a brother love I moved out and started hanging I money of my own so I started slanging I ain't guilty cause, though I sell rocks It feels putting money in your mailbox I love paying when the rent's due I hope ya got the diamond necklace I sent to you 'Cause I was low you was there for me And never me alone because you cared for me And I see you coming home after work late in the kitchen trying to fix us a hot plate Ya just with the scraps you was given And mama miracles every Thanksgiving But now the road got rough, 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 you that I understand You are
Don't ya know we love ya? lady And dear no one above ya, sweet lady You are Don't ya we love ya?
Pour out some liquor and I reminisce, cause the drama I can always depend on my And when it seems I'm hopeless You say the words that can get me back in When I was as a little kid To keep me happy there's no limit to the you did And all my childhood Are full of all the sweet you did for me And even 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 that you gave me I I could take the pain away If you can it through the night there's a brighter day Everything will be alright if ya on It's a struggle everyday, gotta on And no way I can pay you back 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?
lady And dear
mama Lady, lady,
