What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
When I was a young me and my mama had beef
2
Seventeen 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, breakin all the rules
7
I shed tears with my baby sister
8
Over the years we was poorer than the other little kids
9
And even though we had different daddys, the same drama
10
When things went wrong we'd blame mama
11
I reminice on the stress I caused, it was hell
12
Huggin' on my mama from a jail cell
13
And who'd think in elementary?
14
Heeey! 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 fiend, mama
18
You always was a black queen, mama
19
I finally understand
20
for a woman it ain't easy tryin to raise a man
21
You always was committed
22
A poor single mother on welfare, tell me how ya did it
23
There's no way I can pay you back
24
But the plan is to show you that I understand
25
You are appreciated
26
[Chorus: Reggie Green & "Sweet Franklin" w/ 2Pac] Lady...
27
Don't cha know we love ya? Sweet lady Dear mama
28
Place no one above ya, sweet lady
29
You are appreciated
30
Don't cha know we love ya?
31
[second and third chorus, "And dear mama" instead of "Dear mama"]
32
[Verse Two: 2Pac]
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 lookin 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 hangin
42
I needed money of my own so I started slangin
43
I ain't guilty cause, even though I sell rocks
44
It feels good puttin money in your mailbox
45
I love payin rent when the rents 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 comin home after work late
50
You're in the kitchen tryin to fix us a hot plate
51
Ya just workin with the scraps you was given
52
And mama made miracles every Thanksgivin
53
But now the road got rough, you're alone
54
You're tryin 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[Chorus Lady...
58
Don't cha know we love ya? Sweet lady
59
Dear mama Place no one above ya, sweet lady You are appreciated
60
Don't cha know we love ya? [Verse Three: 2Pac]
61
Pour out some liquor and I reminsce, cause through the drama I can always depend on my mama
62
And when it seems that I'm hopeless
63
You say the words that can get me back in focus
64
When I was sick as a little kid
65
To keep me happy there's no limit to the things you did
66
And all my childhood memories
67
Are full of all the sweet things you did for me
68
And even though I act craaazy
69
I gotta thank the Lord that you made me
70
There are no words that can express how I feel
71
You never kept a secret, always stayed real
72
And I appreciate, how you raised me
73
And all the extra love that you gave me
74
I wish I could take the pain away
75
If you can make it through the night there's a brighter day
76
Everything will be alright if ya hold on
77
It's a struggle everyday, gotta roll on
78
And there's no way I can pay you back
79
But my plan is to show you that I understand
80
You are appreciated
81
[Chorus] Lady... Don't cha know we love ya? Sweet lady
82
Dear mama Place no one above ya, sweet lady
83
You are appreciated Don't cha know we love ya? Sweet lady
84
And dear mama Dear mama Lady [3X]
