Dear Mama - 2Pac[00:00:00]
You are appreciated[00:00:21]
When i was young[00:00:27]
Me and my mama had beef[00:00:27]
17 years old kicked out on the streets[00:00:29]
Though back in the time[00:00:32]
I never thought i'd see her face[00:00:33]
Ain't a woman alive that can take my momma's place[00:00:34]
Suspended from school[00:00:37]
Scared ta go home[00:00:39]
I was a fool with the big boys breaking all the rules[00:00:40]
Shed tears with my baby sister[00:00:43]
Over the years we would poorer than the other little kids[00:00:45]
And even though we had different daddies[00:00:49]
The same drama when things went wrong we blamed mama[00:00:51]
I reminised on the stress i caused it would hell[00:00:54]
Hugg'en on my mama from a jail cell[00:00:57]
And who'ed think in elementary[00:01:01]
Heeeey i'd see the penitentiary[00:01:03]
One day[00:01:05]
Running from the police[00:01:07]
That's right[00:01:08]
Momma catch me put a whoop'en to my backside[00:01:09]
And even as a crack fiend mama[00:01:12]
Ya always was a black queen mama[00:01:14]
I finally understand for a woman[00:01:18]
It ain't easy trying ta raise a man[00:01:20]
Ya always would commited[00:01:23]
A poor single mother on welfare[00:01:25]
Tell me how ya did it[00:01:27]
There's no way i can pay ya back[00:01:28]
But the plan is ta show ya that i understand[00:01:30]
You are appreciated[00:01:33]
Dear mama don't cha know i love you[00:01:34]
Dear mama[00:01:39]
Place no one above you[00:01:42]
Dear mama[00:01:45]
I appreciate you although my dad has gone[00:01:48]
I've never leave you[00:01:53]
Ain't nobody tell us it would fair[00:01:56]
No love for my daddy[00:01:58]
Cause the coward wouldn't there[00:01:59]
He passed away and i didn't cry[00:02:01]
Cause my anger[00:02:03]
Wouldn't let me feel for a stranger[00:02:04]
They say i'm wrong and i'm heartless[00:02:07]
But all along i would looking for a father he would gone[00:02:09]
I hung around with the thug's and even though they sold drugs[00:02:12]
They showed a young brother luv[00:02:16]
I moved out and started really hang'in[00:02:18]
I needed money of my own so i started slang'in[00:02:20]
I ain't guilty cause even though i sell rocks[00:02:23]
It feels good putting money in your mailbox[00:02:25]
I love paying rent when the rents due[00:02:28]
I hope ya got the diamond necklace that i sent to you[00:02:31]
Cause when i would low[00:02:34]
You was there for me[00:02:35]
Ya never left me alone[00:02:36]
Cause ya cared for me[00:02:38]
And i can see ya coming home after work late[00:02:39]
Ya in the kitchen trying ta fix us a hot plate[00:02:42]
Just working with the scraps you would given[00:02:46]
And mama made miracles every thanksgiving[00:02:48]
But now the road got rough you're alone[00:02:51]
Trying ta raise two bad kids on your own[00:02:54]
And there's no way i can pay ya back[00:02:56]
But my plan is ta show ya that i understand[00:02:59]

I appreciate you although my dad has gone[00:03:16]
I have never leave you[00:03:22]
Pour out some liquor and i remenise[00:03:25]
Cause through the drama[00:03:26]
I can always depend on my mama[00:03:27]
And when it seems that i'm hopeless[00:03:30]
You say the words that can get me back in focus[00:03:32]
When i would sick as a little kid[00:03:36]
Ta keep me happy there's no limit to the things ya did[00:03:38]
And all my childhood memories[00:03:41]
Are full of all the sweet things ya did for me[00:03:43]
And even though i act crazy[00:03:46]
I got ta thank the lord that ya made me[00:03:49]
There are no words that can express how i feel[00:03:52]
Ya never kept a secret[00:03:55]
Always stayed real[00:03:56]
And i appreciate how ya raised me[00:03:57]
And all the extra love that ya gave me[00:04:00]
I wish i could take the pain away[00:04:03]
If you can make it through the night[00:04:05]
There's a brighter day[00:04:07]
Everything'll be alright if ya hold on[00:04:08]
It's a struggle[00:04:11]
Everyday gotta roll on[00:04:12]
And there's no way i can pay ya back[00:04:14]
But my plan is ta show ya that i understand[00:04:17]
