What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
When I was young, me and my mama had beef
2
17 years old, kicked out on the streets
3
Though back at the time I never thought I'd see her face
4
Ain't a woman alive that could take my mama's place
5
Suspended from school and scared to go home, I was a fool
6
With the big boys breaking all the rules
7
I shed tears with my baby sister, over the years
8
We was poorer than the other little kids
9
And even though we had different daddies, the same drama
10
When things went wrong we'd blame mama
11
I reminisce on the stress I caused, it was hell
12
Huggin' on my mama from a jail cell
13
And who'd think in elementary, hey
14
I'd see the penitentiary one day?
15
And running from the police, that's right
16
Mama catch me, put a whoopin' to my backside
17
And even as a crack fiend, mama
18
You always was a black queen, mama
19
I finally understand
20
For a woman it ain't easy trying to raise a man
21
You always was committed
22
A poor single mother on welfare, tell me how you did it
23
There's no way I can pay you back, but the plan
24
Is to show you that I understand
25
You are appreciated
26
[Hook: Reggie Green & "Sweet Franklin" (w/ 2Pac)]
27
Lady, don'tcha know we love ya? (Dear mama)
28
Sweet lady, place no one above ya (You are appreciated)
29
Sweet lady, don'tcha know we love ya?
30
[Verse 2]
31
Now ain't nobody tell us it was fair
32
No love from my daddy cause the coward wasn't there
33
He passed away and I didn't cry, cause my anger
34
Wouldn't let me feel for a stranger
35
They say I'm wrong and I'm heartless, but all along
36
I was looking for a father he was gone
37
I hung around with the thugs, and even though they sold drugs
38
They showed a young brother love
39
I moved out and started really hangin'
40
I needed money of my own so I started slangin
41
I ain't guilty cause even though I sell rocks
42
It feels good putting money in your mailbox
43
I love paying rent when the rent's due
44
I hope you got the diamond necklace that I sent to you
45
Cause when I was low you was there for me
46
And never left me alone because you cared for me
47
And I could see you coming home after work late
48
You're in the kitchen trying to fix us a hot plate
49
You just working with the scraps you was given
50
And mama made miracles every Thanksgivin'
51
But now the road got rough, you're alone
52
You're trying to raise 2 bad kids on your own
53
And there's no way I can pay you back, but my plan
54
Is to show you that I understand
55
You are appreciated
56
[Hook]
