Lyrics Dear Mama

You are appreciated

When I was young me and my mama had beefs seventeen years old kicked out on the streets

Though back at the time I never thought I'd see her face

Ain't a woman alive that can take my mama's place

Suspended from school scared to go home I was a fool

With the big boyz breakin' all the rules

I shed tears with my baby sister

Over the years we was poorer than other little kids

And even though we had different daddies

The same drama when things went wrong we blamed mama

I reminisce on the stress

I caused, it was hell

Huggin' on my mama from a jail cell

And who would think in elementary

Hey I'd see the penitentiary one day

Runnin' from the police that's right

Mama'd catch me put a whippin' to my backside

And even as a crack fiend, mama

Ya always was a black queen, mama

I finally understand for a woman it ain't easy try'n to raise a man

You always was committed a poor single mother on welfare

Tell me how you did it

There's no way

I could pay you back

But the plan is to show you that I understand

You are appreciated

Dear mama

You are appreciated

No ain't nobody tell us it was fair

No love for my daddy 'cos the coward wasn't there

He passed away and I didn't cry

'Cos my anger wouldn't let me feel for a stranger

They say I'm wrong and I'm heartless

But all along I was lookin' for a father he was gone

I hung around with the thugs and even though they sold drugs they showed a young brother love

I moved out and started really hangin'

I needed money of my own so I started slingin'

I ain't guilty 'cos even though I sell rocks

It feels good puttin' money in your mailbox

I love payin' rent when the rent's due

I hope you got the diamond necklace that I sent to you

'Cos when I was low you was there for me

And never left me alone 'cos you care for me

And I can see you comin' home after work late

You're in the kitchen trying to fix us a hot plate

Jus' workin' with the scraps you was given

And mama made miracles every Thanksgiving

But now the road got rough, you're alone

Try'n to raise two bad kids on your own

And there's no way

I could pay you back

But the plan is to show you that I understand

You are appreciated

Dear mama

You are appreciated

Pour out some liquor and I reminisce

'Cos thru the drama I can always depend on my mama

And when it seems that I'm hopeless

You say the words that could get me back in focus

When I was sick as a little kid to keep me happy

There's no limit to the things you did

And all my childhood memories are full of the sweet things you did for me

And even though I act crazy

I gotta thank the Lord that you made me

There are no words that can express how I feel

You never kept a secret always stayed real

And I appreciate how you raised me

And all the extra love that you gave me

I wish I could take the pain away

If you can make it thru the night there's a brighter day

Everything will be all right if you hold on

It's a struggle everyday gotta roll on

And there's no way

I could pay you back

But my plan is to show you that I understand

You are appreciated
