Song Lyrics
you say the words that can get me back in focus
ain t a woman alive that could take my mama s place
When i was sick as a little kid, don t cha know we love ya, and even though they sold drugs
Even though i sell rocks, i was lookin for a father he was gone
Wouldn t let me feel for a stranger, you always was committed
and even though we had different daddy s
And even as a crack fiend, i never thought i d see her face
Seventeen years old kicked out on the streets, i moved out and started really hangin, cause when i was low you was there for me and never left me alone because you cared for me and i could see you comin home after work late
I hope ya got the diamond necklace that i sent to you, i can always depend on my mama Mama, you are appreciated
They say i m wrong and i m heartless, mama catch me
ya just workin with the scraps you was given
But my plan is to show you that i understand, huggin on my mama from a jail cell
ya just workin with the scraps you was given
even though i sell rocks
You are appreciated, i was lookin for a father he was gone, you re tryin to raise two bad kids on your own
Over the years we was poorer than the other little kids, i reminice on the stress i caused, and even as a crack fiend
I never thought i d see her face, wouldn t let me feel for a stranger, ya just workin with the scraps you was given
That s right, that s right, it feels good puttin money in your mailbox
Don t cha know we love ya, though back at the time, the same drama
I hung around with the thugs, though back at the time
Tell me how ya did it there s no way i can pay you back, it feels good puttin money in your mailbox, they showed a young brother love
Don t cha know we love ya, mama catch me, for a woman it ain t easy tryin to raise a man
cause my anger
I moved out and started really hangin, and mama made miracles every thanksgivin
Breakin all the rules, when i was young me and my mama had beef
but all along
Ain t a woman alive that could take my mama s place, and who d think in elementary
I finally understand, if you can make it through the night there s a brighter day
Don t cha know we love ya, put a whoopin to my backside, but now the road got rough
but the plan is to show you that i understand
Always stayed real, ya just workin with the scraps you was given, for a woman it ain t easy tryin to raise a man
When things went wrong we d blame mama, i was a fool
you are appreciated
Seventeen years old kicked out on the streets, and i appreciate
I never thought i d see her face, and dear mama, and dear mama
everything will be alright if ya hold on it s a struggle everyday
Suspended from school and scared to go home, over the years we was poorer than the other little kids
I love payin rent when the rent s due, and who d think in elementary Dear, huggin on my mama from a jail cell
