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 alive that could take my mama's place Suspended school, and scared to go home, I was a fool With the big boys, breaking all the I shed tears with my sister Over the we was poorer than the other little kids And though we had different daddy's, the same drama things went wrong we'd blame mama I reminisce on the stress I caused, it was Hugging on my mama from a jail And think in elementary? Hey! I see the penitentiary, one day And running 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 finally For a woman it easy trying to raise a man You always was A poor single on welfare, tell me how ya did it no way I can pay you back But the is to show you that I understand You are
Don't ya know we love ya? lady mama Place no one above ya, sweet You are Don't ya we love ya?
Now ain't nobody tell us it was No love from my cause the coward wasn't there He passed away and I didn't cry, my anger Wouldn't let me 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 brother love I moved out and really 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 paying rent 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 left me alone because you cared for me And I could see you coming after work late You're in the kitchen to fix us a hot plate Ya just working with the scraps you was And made miracles every Thanksgiving But now the road got rough, you're trying to raise two bad kids on your 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 love ya? lady And dear Place no one above ya, sweet You are ya know we love ya?
Pour out some liquor and I reminisce, cause through the I can depend on my mama And it seems 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 childhood Are full of all the things you did for me And even though I act I gotta thank the 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 that you gave me I wish I could take the pain If you can make it through the night there's a day Everything be alright if ya hold on It's a struggle everyday, roll on And there's no way I can pay you But my plan is to show you that I You are
Don't ya know we love ya? Sweet And mama no one above ya, sweet lady You are Don't ya we love ya?
Sweet And dear
Dear Lady, lady,
