When I was young me and my had beef Seventeen old kicked out on the streets Though back at the time, I never 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, all the rules I tears with my baby sister Over the years we was poorer than the other kids And even we had different daddy's, the same drama When things went wrong blame mama I reminisce on the I caused, it was hell Hugging on my mama from a jail And think in elementary? Hey! I see the penitentiary, one day And running from the police, right catch me, put a whooping to my backside And even as a crack fiend, You was a black queen, mama I finally For a woman it easy trying to raise a man You always was A single mother 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

Now ain't nobody tell us it was No love my daddy cause the coward wasn't there He passed away and I didn't cry, cause my Wouldn't let me for a stranger They say I'm wrong and I'm heartless, but all I was looking for a he was gone I around with the Thugs, and even though they sold drugs They showed a young love I out and started really hanging I needed money of my own so I started I guilty cause, even though I sell rocks It feels good putting money in mailbox I love rent when the rent's due I hope ya got the diamond that I sent to you when I was low you was there for me And never left me alone you cared for me And I could see you coming home after late You're in the trying to fix us a hot plate Ya just working the scraps you was given And mama made miracles Thanksgiving But now the got rough, you're alone You're trying to raise two bad kids on own And there's no way I can pay you But my is to show you that I understand You are

Pour out some liquor and I reminisce, cause the drama I can always on my mama And when it seems I'm hopeless You say the words that can get me back in I was sick as a little kid To keep me there's no limit to the things you did And all my memories Are full of all the sweet you did for me And though I act crazy I gotta the Lord that you made me There are no words that can 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 the pain away If you can make it through the night a brighter 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
