When I was young me and my mama had beef
3
Seventeen years old kicked out on the streets
4
Though back at the time, I never thought I'd see her face
5
Ain't a woman alive that could take my mama's place
6
Suspended from school, and scared to go home, I was a fool
7
With the big boys, breaking all the rules
8
I shed tears with my baby sister
9
Over the years we was poorer than the other little kids
10
And even though we had different daddy's, the same drama
11
When things went wrong we'd blame mama
12
I reminisce on the stress I caused, it was hell
13
Hugging on my mama from a jail cell
14
And who'd think in elementary?
15
Hey! I see the penitentiary, one day
16
And running from the police, that's right
17
Mama catch me, put a whooping to my backside
18
And even as a crack fiend, mama
19
You always was a black queen, mama
20
I finally understand
21
For a woman it ain't easy trying to raise a man
22
You always was committed
23
A poor single mother on welfare, tell me how ya did it
24
There's no way I can pay you back
25
But the plan is to show you that I understand
26

Lady
28
Don't ya know we love ya? Sweet lady
29
Dear mama
30
Place no one above ya, sweet lady
31
You are appreciated
32
Don't ya know we love ya?
33
Now ain't nobody tell us it was fair
34
No love from my daddy cause the coward wasn't there
35
He passed away and I didn't cry, cause my anger
36
Wouldn't let me feel for a stranger
37
They say I'm wrong and I'm heartless, but all along
38
I was looking for a father he was gone
39
I hung around with the Thugs, and even though they sold drugs
40
They showed a young brother love
41
I moved out and started really hanging
42
I needed money of my own so I started slanging
43
I ain't guilty cause, even though I sell rocks
44
It feels good putting money in your mailbox
45
I love paying rent when the rent's due
46
I hope ya got the diamond necklace that I sent to you
47
'Cause when I was low you was there for me
48
And never left me alone because you cared for me
49
And I could see you coming home after work late
50
You're in the kitchen trying to fix us a hot plate
51
Ya just working with the scraps you was given
52
And mama made miracles every Thanksgiving
53
But now the road got rough, you're alone
54
You're trying to raise two bad kids on your own
55
And there's no way I can pay you back
56
But my plan is to show you that I understand
57
You are appreciated

Lady

Don't ya know we love ya? Sweet lady
60
And dear mama
61
Place no one above ya, sweet lady
62
You are appreciated
63
Don't ya know we love ya?
64
Pour out some liquor and I reminisce, cause through the drama
65
I can always depend on my mama
66
And when it seems that I'm hopeless
67
You say the words that can get me back in focus
68
When I was sick as a little kid
69
To keep me happy there's no limit to the things you did
70
And all my childhood memories
71
Are full of all the sweet things you did for me
72
And even though I act crazy
73
I gotta thank the Lord that you made me
74
There are no words that can express how I feel
75
You never kept a secret, always stayed real
76
And I appreciate, how you raised me
77
And all the extra love that you gave me
78
I wish I could take the pain away
79
If you can make it through the night there's a brighter day
80
Everything will be alright if ya hold on
81
It's a struggle everyday, gotta roll on
82
And there's no way I can pay you back
83
But my plan is to show you that I understand
84
