You are appreciated

When I was a youngin' and ma mama had me
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, breakin' 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
Huggin' on my mama from a jail cell and high school elementary?

Hey, I see the penitentiary, one day
And runnin' from the police, that's right
Mama catch me, put a whoopin' to my backside
And even as a crack theme, mama
You always was a black queen, mama

I finally understand for a woman it ain't easy
Tryin' to raise a man you always was committed
A poor single mother on welfare, tell me how ya 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 cha know we love ya? Sweet lady
Dear mama, place no one above ya, sweet lady
You are appreciated, don't cha know we love ya?

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 lookin' 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 hangin'
I needed money of my own so I started shaggin'
I ain't guilty 'cause, even though I sell rocks
It feels good puttin' money in your mailbox

I love payin' rent when the rent's due
I hope ya 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 comin' home after work late
You're in the kitchen tryin' to fix us a hot plate
Ya just workin' with the scraps you was given
And mama made miracles every thanksgivin'

But now the road got rough, here alone
You're tryin' 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 cha know we love ya? Sweet lady
And dear mama place no one above ya, sweet lady
You are appreciated, don't cha know we love ya?

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 ya 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 cha know we love ya? Sweet lady
And dear mama place no one above ya, sweet lady
You are appreciated, don't cha know we love ya?

Sweet lady, and dear mama
Dear mama, lady, lady, lady

To keep me happy there's no limit to the things you did

Are full of all the sweet things you did for me
And even though I act craaazy
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

You are apperciated

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
There ain't a woman alive that can take my Mama's place

Suspended from school I was scared to go home, I was fool
With the big boys, Breakin' all the rules
I shed tears with my baby sister
Over the years we was poorer then 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 ****, Huggin' on my Mama from a jail cell
And who'd think in Elementary?

Hey, I see the penitentiary, One day
Runnin' from the police, Thats right
Mama catch me, Put a whoopin' to my back side
Even as a **** fiend, Mama
You always was the Black Queen, Mama

I finally understand for a woman it ain't easy
Trying to raise a man, You always was commited
A poor, single mother on Welfare, Tell me how ya' did it
There's no way I can pay ya' back
The plan is to show you that I understand

You are apperciated

Don't ya know we love ya, Sweet Lady
Place no one above ya, Sweet Lady
Don'tcha know we love ya'

When I was sick as a little kid
To keep me happy, Theres no limit to the thing ya' did
And all my childhood memories
Are full of 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 apperciate, How ya' raised me
And all the extra love that ya' gave me
I wish I could take the pain away
If you can make it through the night, Theres a brighter day

Everything will be alright if ya' hold on
It's a struggle everyday, Gotta roll on
And there's no way I can pay ya' back
But my plan is to show you that I understand

Don't ya know we love ya, Sweet lady
Dear Mama, Place no one above ya, Sweet Lady
(You are apperciated) Don'tcha know we love ya
Don't ya know we love ya, Sweet lady
Dear Mama, Place no one above ya, Sweet Lady
(You are apperciated) Don'tcha know we love ya
