Hey! I see the penitentiary, one day And running from the police, right Mama me, put a whooping to my backside And even as a fiend, mama You was a black queen, mama I understand For a woman it ain't easy trying to a man You always was A poor mother on welfare, tell me how ya did it There's no way I can pay you But the plan is to show you that I You are
