🎤 Lyrics:
When I was young
Me and my mama had beef
17 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 place
Suspended from school
And scared to go home
I was a fool with the big boys
Breaking all the rules
I shed tears with my baby sister
Over the years
We were poorer than the other little kids
And even though we had different daddies
The same drama
When things went wrong
We'd blame Mama
I reminisce on the stress I caused
It was hell
Hugging on my mama from a jail cell
And who'd think in elementary
Hey
I'd see the penitentiary one day?
And running from the police
That's right
Mama catches me put a whooping
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 committed
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
Dear Mama
You are appreciated
Dear Mama
Now, ain't nobody tells us it was fair
No love from 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 thugs
And even though they sold
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 rent's due
I hope you got the diamond
Necklace that I sent to you
Cause when I was low
You was there for me
And never left me alone
Because you cared for me
You are appreciated
Dear Mama
You are appreciated
Dear Mama
Pour out some liquor and I reminisce
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
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
And there's no way I can pay you back
But my plan
Is to show you that I understand
You are appreciated
You are appreciated
You are appreciated
