Dear Mama (New Remix Version (Explicit)) (Feat. Anthony Hamilton)

when I was young me an my mama had beef Seventeen years old kicked out on the streets Though back at the time, I never thought I`d see her face Ain`t a woman alive that could take my mama`s face Suspended from school; and scared to go home, I was a fool with the big boys, breakin all the rules I shed tears with my baby sister Over the years we was poorer than the other little kids And even though we had different daddy`s, the same drama When things went wrong we`d blame mama I reminice on the stress I caused, it was hell Huggin on my mama from a jail cell And who`d think in elementary? Heeey! I see the penitentiary, one day And runnin from the police, that`s right Mama catch me, put a whoopin to my backside And even as a crack fiend, mama You always was a black queen, mama I finally understand for a woman ti ain`t easy tryin to raise a man You always was committed A poor single mother on welfare, tell me how ya did it There`s no way I can pay you back But the plan is to show you that i understand You are appreciated
