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