I was young me and my mama had beef Seventeen old kicked out on the streets Though back at the time, I never thought I'd see her Ain't a woman alive could take my mama's place from school, and scared to go home, I was a fool With the big boys, all the rules I shed with my baby sister Over the years we was poorer than the other kids And even we had different daddy's, the same drama When things went we'd blame mama I reminisce on the I caused, it was hell Hugging on my from a jail cell And who'd in elementary? Hey! I see the penitentiary, one day And running the police, that's right Mama catch me, put a to my backside And as a crack fiend, mama You always was a black queen, I understand For a woman it ain't trying to raise a man You always was A poor single on welfare, tell me how ya did it no way I can pay you back But the is to show you that I understand You are

Now ain't nobody us it was fair No love from my daddy cause the coward there He away and I didn't cry, cause my anger Wouldn't let me feel for a They say I'm and I'm heartless, but all along I was looking for a father he was I hung around with the Thugs, and even though they sold They showed a brother love I moved out and started hanging I money of my own so I started slanging I ain't guilty cause, though I sell rocks It feels good putting in your mailbox I love paying rent the rent's due I hope ya got the necklace that I sent to you 'Cause when I was low you was for me And never me alone because you cared for me And I could see you coming home work late in the kitchen trying to fix us a hot plate Ya just working the scraps you was given And made miracles every Thanksgiving But now the road got rough, you're You're to raise two bad kids on your own And there's no way I can pay you But my plan is to show you that I You are
