歌詞

You are appreciated When I was young me and my mama had beef 17 years old kicked out on the streets though back in the time I never thought I'd see her face ain't a woman alive that can take my mommas place suspended from school scared to go home I was a fool with the big boys breaking all the rules shed tears with my baby sister over the years we was poorer than the other little kids and even though We had different dadies the same drama when things went wrong we blamed mama I reminised on tha stress I caused it wuz hell hugg'en on my mama from a jail cell and who'ed think in elementry Hey i'd see the penatentry One day running from the Police that's right Momma catch me put a whoop'en to my backside and even as a crack fiend mama You always was a black queen mama I finally understand for a woman It ain't easy trying to raise a man You always was commited a poor single mother on welfare tell me how you did it There's no way I can pay you back but the plan is to show you that I understand You are appreciated Lady don't you know we love you Sweet Lady place no one above you Sweet Lady don't you know we love you Ain't nobody tell us it was fair no love for my daddy cause the coward wasn't there he passed away and I didn't cry cause my anger wouldn't let me feel for a stranger they say i'm wrong and i'm heartless but all along I was looking for a father he was gone I hung around with the thug's and even though they sold drugs they showed a young brother love I moved out and started really hanging I needed money of my own so I started slanging I ain't guilty cause even though I sell rocks It feels good putting money in your mailbox I love paying rent when the rents due I hope you got the diamond necklace that I sent to you cause when I was low you was there for me you never left me alone cause you cared for me and I can see you coming home after work late You in the kitchen trying to fix us a hot plate just working with the scraps you was given and mama made miracles every Thanks giving but now the road got rough your alone trying to raise two bad kids on your own and there's no way I can pay you back but my plan is to show you that I understand You are appreciated Lady don't you know we love you Sweet Lady place no one above you Sweet Lady don't you know we love you pour out some liquor and I remenise cause through the drama I can always depend on my mama and when it seems that i'm hopeless You say the words that can 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 all the sweet things you did for me and even though I act crazy I got to 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 through the night There's a brighter day everything'll be alright if you hold on it's a strugle everyday gotta roll on and there's no way I can pay you back but my plan is to show you that I understand You are appreciated Lady don't you know we love you Sweet Lady place no one above you Sweet Lady don't you know we love you Sweet Lady Lady Lady Lady
