When I was young, me and my mama had beef

17 years old kicked out on tha streets

though back in tha time, I never thought I'd see her face

ain't a woman alive that can take my mommas place

suspended from school, scared ta go home

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

shed tears with my baby sister

over tha years we wuz poorer than tha other little kids

and even though we had different dadies

tha same drama when things went wrong we blamed mama

I reminised on tha stress I caused, it wuz hell

hugg'en on my mama from a jail cell

and who'ed think in elementry, heeeey i'd see tha penatentry

One day

running from tha 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 wuz commited, a poor single mother on welfare,

tell me how ya did it

there's no way I can pay ya back

but tha plan is ta show ya that I understand.

you are appreciated......



Laaaaady, don't cha know we luv ya

Sweeeet Laaaady, place no one above ya

Sweeeet Laaaady, don't cha know we luv ya



Ain't nobody tell us it wuz fair

no luv for my daddy, cause tha coward wuzn'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 wuz looking for a father--he wuz gone

I hung around with tha 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 tha rents due

I hope ya got tha diamond necklace that I sent to you

cause when I wuz 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 tha kitchen trying ta fix us a hot plate

just working with tha scraps you wuz given

and mama made miracles every Thanksgiving

but now tha road got rough, your 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.....



Laaaaady, don't cha know we luv ya

Sweeeet Laaaady, place no one above ya

Sweeeet Laaaady, don't cha know we luv ya



pour out some liquor and I remenise

cause through tha drama, I can always depend on my mama

and when it seems that i'm hopeless

you say tha words that can get me back in focus

when I wuz sick as a little kid

ta keep me happy theres no limit to tha things ya did

and all my childhood memories

are full of all tha sweet things ya did for me

and even though I act craaaazy

I got ta thank tha Lord that ya maaaade 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 tha extra love that ya gave me

I wish I could take tha pain away

If you can make it through tha night, there's a brighter day

everything'll be alright if ya hold on

it's a strugle

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.......



Laaaaady, don't cha know we luv ya

Sweeeet Laaaady, place no one above ya

Sweeeet Laaaady, don't cha know we luv ya, Sweeeet Laaaady

Verse One: 2Pac



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

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 reminice on the stress I caused, it was hell

Huggin on my mama from a jail cell

And who'd think in elementary?

Heeey! 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 fiend, 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



Chorus: Reggie Green & "Sweet Franklin" w/ 2Pac *



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?



* second and third chorus, "And dear mama" instead of "Dear

mama"



Verse Two: 2Pac



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 slangin

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, you're 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



Chorus



Verse Three: 2Pac



Pour out some liquor and I reminsce, 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 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

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



Chorus



Sweet lady

And dear mama
