[00:00:00] Dear Mama (亲爱的妈妈) - Straight Up
[00:00:05] You are appreciated
[00:00:11] When I was young me
[00:00:12] And my mama had beef
[00:00:13] Seventeen years old kicked out on the streets
[00:00:16] Though back at the time
[00:00:17] I never thought I'd see her face
[00:00:19] Ain't a woman alive that
[00:00:20] Could take my mama's place
[00:00:21] Suspended from school;
[00:00:23] And scared to go home I was a fool
[00:00:25] With the big boys breakin all the rules
[00:00:28] I shed tears with my baby sister
[00:00:30] Over the years we was poorer
[00:00:32] Than the other little kids
[00:00:33] And even though we had different daddy's
[00:00:36] The same drama
[00:00:37] When things went wrong we'd blame mama
[00:00:39] I reminice on the stress I caused it was hell
[00:00:42] Huggin on my mama from a jail cell
[00:00:45] And who'd think in elementary
[00:00:47] Heeey I see the penitentiary one day
[00:00:52] And runnin from the police that's right
[00:00:54] Mama catch me put a whoopin to my backside
[00:00:57] And even as a crack fiend mama
[00:01:00] You always was a black queen mama
[00:01:03] I finally understand
[00:01:04] For a woman it ain't easy tryin to raise a man
[00:01:08] You always was committed
[00:01:10] A poor single mother on welfare tell me how ya did it
[00:01:13] There's no way I can pay you back
[00:01:15] But the plan is to show you that I understand
[00:01:18] You are appreciated
[00:01:19] Lady
[00:01:22] Don't cha know we love ya Sweet lady

[00:01:27] Place no one above ya sweet lady
[00:01:30] You are appreciated
[00:01:33] Don't cha know we love ya
[00:01:36] Now ain't nobody tell us it was fair
[00:01:38] No love from my daddy
[00:01:39] Cause the coward wasn't there
[00:01:41] He passed away and I didn't cry cause my anger
[00:01:45] Wouldn't let me feel for a stranger
[00:01:47] They say I'm wrong and I'm heartless but all along
[00:01:50] I was lookin for a father he was gone
[00:01:52] I hung around with the Thugs
[00:01:54] And even though they sold drugs
[00:01:56] They showed a young brother love
[00:01:58] I moved out and started really hangin
[00:02:00] I needed money of my own so I started slangin
[00:02:03] I ain't guilty cause even though I sell rocks
[00:02:06] It feels good puttin money in your mailbox
[00:02:09] I love payin rent when the rent's due
[00:02:11] I hope ya got the diamond necklace that I sent to you
[00:02:14] Cause when I was low you was there for me
[00:02:17] And never left me alone because you cared for me
[00:02:20] And I could see you comin home after work late
[00:02:22] You're in the kitchen tryin to fix us a hot plate
[00:02:26] Ya just workin with the scraps you was given
[00:02:29] And mama made miracles every Thanksgivin
[00:02:32] But now the road got rough you're alone
[00:02:34] You're tryin to raise two bad kids on your own
[00:02:37] And there's no way I can pay you back
[00:02:40] But my plan is to show you that I understand
[00:02:43] You are appreciated
[00:02:44] Lady
[00:02:46] Don't cha know we love ya Sweet lady
[00:02:49] Dear mama
[00:02:52] Place no one above ya sweet lady
[00:02:57] Don't cha know we love ya
[00:03:00] Pour out some liquor and I reminsce
[00:03:02] Cause through the drama
[00:03:03] I can always depend on my mama
[00:03:06] And when it seems that I'm hopeless
[00:03:08] You say the words that can get me back in focus
[00:03:11] When I was sick as a little kid
[00:03:14] To keep me happy there's no
[00:03:15] Limit to the things you did
[00:03:17] And all my childhood memories
[00:03:19] Are full of all the sweet things you did for me
[00:03:22] And even though I act craaazy
[00:03:25] I gotta thank the Lord that you made me
[00:03:28] There are no words that can express how I feel
[00:03:31] You never kept a secret always stayed real
[00:03:33] And I appreciate how you raised me
[00:03:36] And all the extra love that you gave me
[00:03:40] I wish I could take the pain away
[00:03:42] If you can make it through
[00:03:43] The night there's a brighter day
