You are
When I was young me and my mama had Seventeen old kicked out on the streets back at the time, I never thought I'd see her face Ain't a woman alive that could take my place Suspended school, and scared to go home, I was a fool With the big boys, breaking all the I shed with my baby sister Over the years we was than the other little kids And even though we had different daddy's, the same When went wrong we'd blame mama I reminisce on the I caused, it was hell Hugging on my from a jail cell And think in elementary? Hey! I see the penitentiary, one day And running from the police, right Mama catch me, put a to my backside And even as a crack fiend, You always was a black queen, I understand For a woman it ain't easy to raise a man You was committed A poor mother 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 we love ya? Sweet lady Dear Place no one above ya, sweet You are Don't ya we love ya?
Now nobody tell us it was fair No love my daddy cause the coward wasn't there He passed and I didn't cry, cause my anger let me feel for a stranger They say I'm wrong and I'm heartless, but all I was looking for a father he was I hung around with the Thugs, and even though they sold showed a young brother love I moved out and really hanging I needed money of my own so I slanging I ain't guilty cause, though I sell rocks It feels good putting money in your I love paying rent 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 never left me alone you cared for me And I could see you home after work late You're in the kitchen to fix us a hot plate Ya just working with the you was given And mama miracles every Thanksgiving But now the got rough, you're alone 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 we love ya? Sweet lady And dear Place no one above ya, lady You are Don't ya we love ya?
Pour out liquor and I reminisce, cause through the drama I can always on my mama And when it that I'm hopeless You say the words that can get me in focus I was sick 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 thank the Lord that you made me There are no words that can express how I You never kept a secret, always 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 there's a day Everything will be if ya hold on It's a everyday, gotta roll on And there's no way I can pay you But my plan is to you that I understand You are
Don't ya know we love ya? lady And dear Place no one above ya, lady You are ya know we love ya?
Sweet And dear
