[00:11.60]When I was young me and my mama had beef
[00:13.80]Seventeen years old kicked out on the streets
[00:16.60]Though back at the time, I never thought I'd see her face
[00:19.40]Ain't a woman alive that could take my mama's place
[00:22.40]Suspended from school, and scared to go home, I was a fool
[00:25.90]With the big boys, breaking all the rules
[00:28.80]I shed tears with my baby sister
[00:30.70]Over the years we was poorer than the other little kids
[00:34.40]And even though we had different daddy's, the same drama
[00:37.40]When things went wrong we'd blame mama
[00:39.90]I reminisce on the stress I caused, it was hell
[00:43.00]Hugging on my mama from a jail cell
[00:46.10]And who'd think in elementary?
[00:48.60]Hey! I see the penitentiary, one day
[00:52.20]And running from the police, that's right
[00:55.20]Mama catch me, put a whooping to my backside
[00:58.10]And even as a crack fiend, mama
[01:00.60]You always was a black queen, mama
[01:03.50]I finally understand
[01:05.00]For a woman it ain't easy trying to raise a man
[01:08.80]You always was committed
[01:10.90]A poor single mother on welfare, tell me how ya did it
[01:14.40]There's no way I can pay you back
[01:16.60]But the plan is to show you that I understand
[01:19.40]You are appreciated
[01:20.80]Lady
[01:23.10]Don't ya know we love ya? Sweet lady
[01:25.80]Dear mama
[01:28.60]Place no one above ya, sweet lady
[01:31.20]You are appreciated
[01:34.50]Don't ya know we love ya?
[01:37.30]Now ain't nobody tell us it was fair
[01:39.30]No love from my daddy cause the coward wasn't there
[01:42.20]He passed away and I didn't cry, cause my anger
[01:45.80]Wouldn't let me feel for a stranger
[01:48.60]They say I'm wrong and I'm heartless, but all along
[01:51.40]I was looking for a father he was gone
[01:54.40]I hung around with the Thugs, and even though they sold drugs
[01:57.60]They showed a young brother love
[01:59.90]I moved out and started really hanging
[02:01.90]I needed money of my own so I started slanging
[02:04.70]I ain't guilty cause, even though I sell rocks
[02:07.50]It feels good putting money in your mailbox
[02:11.10]I love paying rent when the rent's due
[02:13.30]I hope ya got the diamond necklace that I sent to you
[02:16.70]'Cause when I was low you was there for me
[02:19.10]And never left me alone because you cared for me
[02:21.80]And I could see you coming home after work late
[02:24.60]You're in the kitchen trying to fix us a hot plate
[02:28.40]Ya just working with the scraps you was given
[02:30.60]And mama made miracles every Thanksgiving
[02:33.70]But now the road got rough, you're alone
[02:36.70]You're trying to raise two bad kids on your own
[02:39.70]And there's no way I can pay you back
[02:42.10]But my plan is to show you that I understand
[02:45.10]You are appreciated
[02:46.30]Lady
[02:48.50]Don't ya know we love ya? Sweet lady
[02:51.60]And dear mama
[02:53.80]Place no one above ya, sweet lady
[02:57.20]You are appreciated
[02:59.70]Don't ya know we love ya?
[03:02.20]Pour out some liquor and I reminisce, cause through the drama
[03:05.70]I can always depend on my mama
