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 that could take my place Suspended from school, and scared to go home, I was a the big boys, breaking all the rules I tears with my baby sister Over the years we was poorer than the other little And though we had different daddy's, the same drama When things went wrong blame mama I on the stress I caused, it was hell Hugging on my mama a jail cell And who'd in elementary? Hey! I see the penitentiary, one day And running from the police, that's Mama catch me, put a whooping to my And as a crack 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 There's no way I can pay you But the is to show you that I understand You are
Don't ya know we love ya? lady Dear no one above ya, sweet lady You are Don't ya know we ya?
Now ain't nobody us it was fair No love from my daddy the coward wasn't there He passed away and I cry, cause my anger let me feel for a stranger They say I'm wrong and I'm heartless, but all I was for a father he was gone I hung around with the Thugs, and even though sold drugs They a young brother love I out and started really hanging I needed money of my own so I slanging I ain't cause, even though I sell rocks It good putting money in your mailbox I love paying rent the rent's due I hope ya got the diamond that I sent to you 'Cause when I was low you was for me And never left me alone because you for me And I could see you coming home after work in the kitchen trying to fix us a hot plate Ya just working with the scraps you was And mama made miracles every But now the got rough, you're alone You're to raise two bad kids on your own And no way I can pay you back But my plan is to show you I understand You are
Don't ya know we love ya? lady And dear Place no one above ya, lady You are Don't ya know we ya?
Pour out some liquor and I reminisce, cause through the I can always depend on my And when it seems I'm hopeless You say the that can get me back in focus I was sick 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 though I act I thank the Lord that you made me There are no words that can express how I You never a secret, always stayed real And I appreciate, how you me And all the extra love that you me I wish I could take the away If you can make it through the night there's a day Everything will be if ya hold on It's a everyday, gotta roll on And no way I can pay you back But my plan is to you that I understand You are
Don't ya know we ya? Sweet lady And mama no one above ya, sweet lady You are ya know we love ya?
Sweet And dear
Dear Lady, lady,
