Dear Mama (Remix|Explicit)

Dear Mama (Remix|Explicit) - 2Pac (圖派克)/Anthony Hamilton

You are appreciated

When i was young

Me and my mama had beef

17 years old kicked out on the streets

Though back in the time

I never thought i'd see her face

Ain't a woman alive that can take my momma's place

Suspended from school

Scared ta go home

I was a fool with the big boys breaking all the rules

Shed tears with my baby sister

Over the years we would poorer than the other little kids

And even though we had different daddies

The same drama when things went wrong we blamed mama

I reminised on the stress i caused it would hell

Hugg'en on my mama from a jail cell

And who'ed think in elementary

Heeeey i'd see the penitentiary

One day

Running from the police

That's right

Momma catch me put a whoop'en to my backside

And even as a crack fiend mama

Ya always was a black queen mama

I finally understand for a woman

It ain't easy trying ta raise a man

Ya always would commited

A poor single mother on welfare

Tell me how ya did it

There's no way i can pay ya back

But the plan is ta show ya that i understand

You are appreciated

Dear mama don't cha know i love you

Dear mama

Place no one above you

Dear mama

I appreciate you although my dad has gone

I've never leave you

Ain't nobody tell us it would fair

No love for my daddy

Cause the coward wouldn'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 would looking for a father he would gone

I hung around with the thug's and even though they sold drugs

They showed a young brother luv

I moved out and started really hang'in

I needed money of my own so i started slang'in

I ain't guilty cause even though i sell rocks

It feels good putting money in your mailbox

I love paying rent when the rents due

I hope ya got the diamond necklace that i sent to you

Cause when i would low

You was there for me

Ya never left me alone

Cause ya cared for me

And i can see ya coming home after work late

Ya in the kitchen trying ta fix us a hot plate

Just working with the scraps you would given

And mama made miracles every thanksgiving

But now the road got rough you're alone

Trying ta raise two bad kids on your own

And there's no way i can pay ya back

But my plan is ta show ya that i understand

You are appreciated

Dear mama don't cha know we luv ya

Dear mama

Place no one above ya

Dear mama

I appreciate you although my dad has gone

I have never leave you

Pour out some liquor and i remenise

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 would sick as a little kid

Ta keep me happy there's no limit to the things ya did

And all my childhood memories

Are full of all the sweet things ya did for me

And even though i act crazy

I got ta thank the lord that ya made me

There are no words that can express how i feel

Ya never kept a secret

Always stayed real

And i appreciate 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

There's a brighter day

Everything'll 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 ta show ya that i understand

You are appreciated

Dear mama don't cha know i luv ya

Dear mama place no one above ya

Dear mama

I appreciate you although my dad has gone

I have never leave you

Dear mama

I appreciate you

I love you

I need you

Oh mama

I love you

I appreciate you

I need you

Oh mama

I appreciate you

I love you

I need you

Oh mama

I love you

I appreciate you

I need you
