1
You are appreciated
2
When I was a youngin' and ma mama had me
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, breakin' 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
Huggin' on my mama from a jail cell and high school elementary?
14
Hey, I see the penitentiary, one day
15
And runnin' from the police, that's right
16
Mama catch me, put a whoopin' to my backside
17
And even as a crack theme, mama
18
You always was a black queen, mama
19
I finally understand for a woman it ain't easy
20
Tryin' to raise a man you always was committed
21
A poor single mother on welfare, tell me how ya did it
22
There's no way I can pay you back
23
But the plan is to show you that I understand you are appreciated
24
Lady, don't cha know we love ya? Sweet lady
25
Dear mama, place no one above ya, sweet lady
26
You are appreciated, don't cha know we love ya?
27
Now ain't nobody tell us it was fair
28
No love from my daddy 'cause the coward wasn't there
29
He passed away and I didn't cry, cause my anger
30
Wouldn't let me feel for a stranger
31
They say I'm wrong and I'm heartless, but all along
32
I was lookin' for a father he was gone
33
I hung around with the Thugs, and even though they sold drugs
34
They showed a young brother love
35
I moved out and started really hangin'
36
I needed money of my own so I started shaggin'
37
I ain't guilty 'cause, even though I sell rocks
38
It feels good puttin' money in your mailbox
39
I love payin' rent when the rent's due
40
I hope ya got the diamond necklace that I sent to you
41
'Cause when I was low you was there for me
42
And never left me alone because you cared for me
43
And I could see you comin' home after work late
44
You're in the kitchen tryin' to fix us a hot plate
45
Ya just workin' with the scraps you was given
46
And mama made miracles every thanksgivin'
47
But now the road got rough, here alone
48
You're tryin' to raise two bad kids on your own
49
And there's no way I can pay you back
50
But my plan is to show you that I understand you are appreciated
51
Lady, don't cha know we love ya? Sweet lady
52
And dear mama place no one above ya, sweet lady
53
You are appreciated, don't cha know we love ya?
54
Pour out some liquor and I reminisce, 'cause through the drama
55
I can always depend on my mama
56
And when it seems that I'm hopeless
57
You say the words that can get me back in focus
58
When I was sick as a little kid
59
To keep me happy there's no limit to the things you did
60
And all my childhood memories
61
Are full of all the sweet things you did for me
62
And even though I act crazy
63
I gotta thank the Lord that you made me
64
There are no words that can express how I feel
65
You never kept a secret, always stayed real
66
And I appreciate, how you raised me
67
And all the extra love that you gave me
68
I wish I could take the pain away
69
If you can make it through the night there's a brighter day
70
Everything will be alright if ya hold on
71
It's a struggle everyday, gotta roll on
72
And there's no way I can pay you back
73
But my plan is to show you that I understand you are appreciated
74
Lady, don't cha know we love ya? Sweet lady
75
And dear mama place no one above ya, sweet lady
76
You are appreciated, don't cha know we love ya?
77
Sweet lady, and dear mama
78
Dear mama, lady, lady, lady
