点击复制You are appreciated
When I was young me and 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 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 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 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 see the penitentiary one day
And running from the police that's right
Mama catch 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
Lady
Don't you know we love you sweet lady
Place no one above you sweet lady
Don't you know we love you
Now ain't nobody tell 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 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 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
And I could see you coming home after work late
You're in the kitchen trying to fix us a hot plate
You just working with the scraps you was given
And mama made miracles every thanksgiving
But now the road got rough you're alone
You're 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 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
And even though I act crazy
I gotta 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 will be alright if you hold on
It's a struggle 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 lady
