You say the words that can get me back in focus Pour out some liquor and I reminisce, ’cause through the drama You’re tryin’ to raise two bad kids on your ownīut my plan is to show you that I understand you are appreciatedĪnd dear mama place no one above ya, sweet lady
Ya just workin’ with the scraps you was givenĪnd mama made miracles every thanksgivin’ You’re in the kitchen tryin’ to fix us a hot plate ‘Cause when I was low you was there for meĪnd never left me alone because you cared for meĪnd I could see you comin’ home after work late I hope ya got the diamond necklace that I sent to you
It feels good puttin’ money in your mailbox I ain’t guilty ’cause, even though I sell rocks I needed money of my own so I started slangin’ I hung around with the Thugs, and even though they sold drugs They say I’m wrong and I’m heartless, but all along He passed away and I didn’t cry, cause my anger No love from my daddy ’cause the coward wasn’t there You are appreciated, don’t cha know we love ya? Lady, don’t cha know we love ya? Sweet ladyĭear mama, place no one above ya, sweet lady Tryin’ to raise a man you always was committedĪ poor single mother on welfare, tell me how ya did itīut the plan is to show you that I understand you are appreciated I finally understand for a woman it ain’t easy Mama catch me, put a whoopin’ to my backside Huggin’ on my mama from a jail cell and who’d think in elementaryĪnd runnin’ from the police, that’s right I reminisce on the stress I caused, it was hell Over the years we was poorer than the other little kidsĪnd even though we had different daddy’s, the same drama With the big boys, breakin’ all the rules Suspended from school and scared to go home, I was a fool
Though back at the time, I never thought I’d see her faceĪin’t a woman alive that could take my mama’s place Seventeen years old kicked out on the streets
When I was a youngin’ me and my mama had beef
