Dear Mama
Issa

My mama showed me what love really means

17 years old she had to give up on her dreams

Couldn't even go to college, she had so much to loose

It ain't a woman alive that could fill my mama shoes

Put ya life on the line, ya mama i know its painful

That's why I had to let you know that I'm thankful

Over the years i know I put you through a lot

Seems like I'm starting more, the older that I got

And even though it seems like things change, mama

My love for you is still the same, mama

It's hard raising a young, black male

But you kept me on the right track

I never seen a jail cell

Now who'd think in elementary

Hey! That these record labels would mention me one day

Disrespectful to my school teachers, that's right

Mama catch me, put a whoopin' to my backside

You always was a black queen, mama

And now you raised a young king, mama

I finally understand I need you to survive

You the backbone of my life

I need you to be alive

Without you here, then I might as well die

You a angel sent from heaven

You the reason that I'm fly

You did what no other mother can

The plan is to show you that I understand

You are appreciated

Lady, don't you know we love ya? Sweet lady

Dear Mama

Lady, place no one, sweet lady

You are appreciated

Lady, don't you know we love ya?

Back then being pregnant young was rare

Still raised me yourself and had to raise me young was unfair

But you made a way

You never gave up

Got your first job at Friday's and got payed up

I mean mugged any guy that tried to talk to ya

Don't even look my mama way, I woulda fought for ya

They looked at me and laughed

I was like ain't nothing funny

My mind set was can't nobody take my mama from me

Sorry if I was too overprotective of ya

But that was my lil way of lettin you know I love ya

One bedroom apartment, it was just you and I

Late nights watching X-Files, you and I

I always had the latest J's and the newest clothes

All my friends always asked what kinda shoes are those

You treated me like the young king I grew up to be

But know I got a million kids looking up to me

How does it feel to know that you the reason

Looked how it all payed off, mama you the reason

Yo kids always came first, even before you

That's why I never ever put no one before you

I counted on you every time

You never let me down

For those who thought you would fail, tell them look at me now

You did what no other mother can

And the plan is to show you that i understand

You are appreciated

Lady, don't you know we love ya? Sweet lady

Dear mama

Lady, place no one above ya, sweet lady

You are appreciated

Lady, don't you know we love you
