Dear Mama (亲爱的妈妈) - Hip Hop Masters[00:00:00]
You are appreciated[00:00:05]
When I was young me and my mama had beef[00:00:11]
Seventeen years old kicked out on the streets[00:00:13]
Though back at the time [00:00:16]
I never thought I'd see her face[00:00:17]
Ain't a woman alive that could take my mama's place[00:00:19]
Suspended from school;[00:00:21]
And scared to go home I was a fool[00:00:23]
With the big boys breakin all the rules[00:00:25]
I shed tears with my baby sister[00:00:27]
Over the years we was poorer than the other little kids[00:00:29]
And even though we had different daddy's [00:00:33]
The same drama[00:00:35]
When things went wrong we'd blame mama[00:00:36]
I reminice on the stress I caused it was hell[00:00:39]
Huggin on my mama from a jail cell[00:00:42]
And who'd think in elementary [00:00:44]
Heeey I see the penitentiary one day[00:00:47]
And runnin from the police that's right[00:00:51]
Mama catch me put a whoopin to my backside[00:00:54]
And even as a crack fiend mama[00:00:57]
You always was a black queen mama[00:00:59]
I finally understand[00:01:02]
For a woman it ain't easy tryin to raise a man[00:01:04]
You always was committed[00:01:07]
A poor single mother on welfare [00:01:10]
Tell me how ya did it[00:01:12]
There's no way I can pay you back[00:01:13]
But the plan is to show you that I understand[00:01:15]
You are appreciated[00:01:18]
Lady [00:01:20]
Don't you know we love you Sweet lady[00:01:22]
Place no one above you sweet lady[00:01:27]
Don't you know we love you [00:01:33]
Now ain't nobody tell us it was fair[00:01:36]
No love from my daddy cause the coward wasn't there[00:01:38]
He passed away and I didn't cry cause my anger[00:01:41]
Wouldn't let me feel for a stranger[00:01:44]
They say I'm wrong and I'm heartless but all along[00:01:47]
I was lookin for a father he was gone[00:01:49]
I hung around with the Thugs [00:01:52]
And even though they sold drugs[00:01:54]
They showed a young brother love[00:01:56]
I moved out and started really hangin[00:01:58]
I needed money of my own so I started slangin[00:02:00]
I ain't guilty cause even though I sell rocks[00:02:03]
It feels good puttin money in your mailbox[00:02:06]
I love payin rent when the rent's due[00:02:08]
I hope you got the diamond necklace that I sent to you[00:02:11]
Cause when I was low you was there for me[00:02:15]
And never left me alone because you cared for me[00:02:17]
And I could see you comin home after work late[00:02:20]
You're in the kitchen tryin to fix us a hot plate[00:02:22]
Ya just workin with the scraps you was given[00:02:26]
And mama made miracles every Thanksgivin[00:02:29]
But now the road got rough you're alone[00:02:31]
You're tryin to raise two bad kids on your own[00:02:34]
And there's no way I can pay you back[00:02:37]
But my plan is to show you that I understand[00:02:40]
You are appreciated[00:02:43]
Lady [00:02:44]
Don't you know we love you Sweet lady[00:02:47]
Place no one above ya sweet lady[00:02:52]
Don't you know we love you [00:02:57]
Pour out some liquor and I reminsce [00:03:00]
Cause through the drama[00:03:02]
I can always depend on my mama[00:03:03]
And when it seems that I'm hopeless[00:03:05]
You say the words that can get me back in focus[00:03:07]
When I was sick as a little kid[00:03:11]
To keep me happy there's no limit to the things you did[00:03:14]
And all my childhood memories[00:03:17]
Are full of all the sweet things you did for me[00:03:19]
And even though I act craaazy[00:03:23]
I gotta thank the Lord that you made me[00:03:25]
There are no words that can express how I feel[00:03:28]
You never kept a secret always stayed real[00:03:31]
And I appreciate how you raised me[00:03:33]
And all the extra love that you gave me[00:03:36]
I wish I could take the pain away[00:03:39]
If you can make it through[00:03:42]
The night there's a brighter day[00:03:43]
Everything will be alright if ya hold on[00:03:44]
It's a struggle everyday gotta roll on[00:03:47]
And there's no way I can pay you back[00:03:50]
But my plan is to show you that I understand[00:03:53]
You are appreciated[00:03:56]
Lady[00:03:57]
