 When I was young me and my  had beef
 Seventeen  old kicked out on the streets
 Though back  the time, I never thought I'd see her face
 Ain't a woman alive that could  my mama's place
 Suspended from school; and scared to go home,  was a fool
  the big boys, breakin all the rules
 I shed tears with my  sister
 Over  years we was poorer than the other little kids
 And even though we had different  the same drama
 When things went wrong we'd blame 
 I reminice on the stress I  it was hell
 Huggin on my mama from  jail cell
 And who'd think  elementary?
  I see the penitentiary, one day
 And runnin from the  that's right
 Mama catch me,  a whoopin to my backside
 And even  a crack fiend, mama
 You always  a black queen, mama
 I finally understand
 for a  it ain't easy tryin to raise a man
  always was committed
 A poor single mother on welfare, tell me  ya did it
 There's no way I can pay you 
 But the plan is to show you that  understand
 You are appreciated
 
 [Chorus: Reggie Green & "Sweet Franklin" w/ 
 
 Lady...
 Don't cha know we love  Sweet lady
 Dear mama
 Place no one  ya, sweet lady
 You are appreciated
 Don't cha know we love 
 
  and third chorus, "And dear mama" instead of "Dear mama"]
 
 [Verse Two: 2Pac]
 
 Now  nobody tell us it was fair
 No love from my daddy cause the  wasn't there
 He passed away and  didn't cry, cause my anger
 wouldn't let  feel for a stranger
 They say I'm wrong and I'm  but all along
 I was lookin for a father he  gone
 I hung around  the Thugs, and even though they sold drugs
 They showed a  brother love
 I moved out and  really hangin
 I needed money of my own  I started slangin
 I ain't guilty  even though I sell rocks
 It feels good puttin  in your mailbox
 I love payin rent when the rent's 
 I hope ya got the  necklace that I sent to you
 Cause when I  low you was there for me
 And never left me alone because you  for me
 And I could see you comin home after  late
 You're in  kitchen tryin to fix us a hot plate
 Ya just workin with the scraps  was given
 And mama  miracles every Thanksgivin
 But now the road got rough, you're 
 You're tryin to raise two bad  on your own
 And there's  way I can pay you back
 But my plan is to  you that I understand
 You are appreciated
 
 [Chorus]
 
 [Verse Three: 2Pac]
 
 Pour out  liquor and I reminsce, cause through the drama
 I can always  on my mama
 And when it seems that I'm 
 You say the words that can  me back in focus
 When I was sick as a  kid
 To keep me happy  no limit to the things you did
  all my childhood memories
 Are full of all the sweet things you  for me
 And even though  act craaazy
 I gotta thank  Lord that you made me
 There  no words that can express how I feel
 You never  a secret, always stayed real
 And I appreciate, how you raised 
 And  the extra love that you gave me
 I wish I could take the  away
 If  can make it through the night there's a brighter day
 Everything will be  if ya hold on
 It's a struggle everyday, gotta  on
 And there's  way I can pay you back
  my plan is to show you that I understand
 You are appreciated
 
 [Chorus]
 
 Sweet lady
 And dear mama
 
 Dear mama
