Dear Mama (亲爱的妈妈) - Renegade Stars[00:00:00]
You are appreciated[00:00:07]
When I was young me and my mama had beef[00:00:13]
Seventeen years old kicked out on the streets[00:00:15]
Though back at the time I never thought I'd see her face[00:00:18]
Ain't a woman alive that could take my mama's place[00:00:21]
Suspended from school and scared to go home I was a fool[00:00:23]
With the big boys breaking all the rules[00:00:28]
I shed tears with my baby sister[00:00:30]
Over the years we was poorer than the other little kids[00:00:32]
And even though we had different daddy's the same drama[00:00:35]
When things went wrong we'd blame mama[00:00:39]
I reminisce on the stress I caused it was hell[00:00:41]
Hugging on my mama from a jail cell[00:00:45]
And who'd think in elementary[00:00:48]
Hey I see the penitentiary one day[00:00:50]
And running from the police that's right[00:00:54]
Mama catch me put a whooping to my backside[00:00:56]
And even as a crack fiend mama[00:00:59]
You always was a black queen mama[00:01:02]
I finally understand[00:01:05]
For a woman it ain't easy trying to raise a man[00:01:06]
You always was committed[00:01:10]
A poor single mother on welfare tell me how you did it[00:01:12]
There's no way I can pay you back[00:01:15]
But the plan is to show you that I understand[00:01:17]
You are appreciated[00:01:20]
Lady[00:01:21]
Don't you know we love you sweet lady[00:01:24]
Place no one above you sweet lady[00:01:29]
Don't you know we love you[00:01:35]
Now ain't nobody tell us it was fair[00:01:38]
No love from my daddy cause the coward wasn't there[00:01:40]
He passed away and I didn't cry cause my anger[00:01:43]
Wouldn't let me feel for a stranger[00:01:46]
They say I'm wrong and I'm heartless but all along[00:01:49]
I was looking for a father he was gone[00:01:52]
I hung around with the thugs and even though they sold drugs[00:01:55]
They showed a young brother love[00:01:58]
I moved out and started really hanging[00:02:00]
I needed money of my own so I started slanging[00:02:02]
I ain't guilty cause even though I sell rocks[00:02:05]
It feels good putting money in your mailbox[00:02:08]
I love paying rent when the rent's due[00:02:11]
I hope you 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 coming home after work late[00:02:22]
You're in the kitchen trying to fix us a hot plate[00:02:25]
You just working with the scraps you was given[00:02:28]
And mama made miracles every thanksgiving[00:02:31]
But now the road got rough you're alone[00:02:34]
You're trying 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[00:02:42]
You are appreciated[00:02:45]
Lady[00:02:46]
Don't you know we love you sweet lady[00:02:48]
Place no one above you sweet lady[00:02:54]
Don't you know we love you[00:03:00]
Pour out some liquor and I reminisce cause through the drama[00:03:03]
I can always depend on my mama[00:03:05]
And when it seems that I'm hopeless[00:03:08]
You say the words that can get me back in focus[00:03:10]
When I was sick as a little kid[00:03:14]
To keep me happy there's no limit to the things you did[00:03:16]
And all my childhood memories[00:03:19]
Are full of all the sweet things you did for me[00:03:21]
And even though I act crazy[00:03:25]
I gotta thank the lord that you made me[00:03:27]
There are no words that can express how I feel[00:03:30]
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[00:03:39]
I wish I could take the pain away[00:03:42]
If you can make it through the night there's a brighter day[00:03:44]
Everything will be alright if you hold on[00:03:47]
It's a struggle everyday gotta roll on[00:03:50]
And there's no way I can pay you back[00:03:53]
But my plan is to show you that I understand[00:03:56]
You are appreciated[00:03:58]
Lady[00:03:59]
Don't you know we love you sweet lady[00:04:02]
Place no one above you sweet lady[00:04:07]
Don't you know we love you[00:04:13]
Sweet lady[00:04:16]
Lady lady lady lady[00:04:22]
