歌词 | You are appreciated [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 Dear mama Lady [3X] |
