Dear Momma Lyrics - Fat Trel

When I was young, me and my mama had beef 

17 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 breaking 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 daddies, the same drama 

When things went wrong we'd blame mama 

I reminisce on the stress I caused, it was hell 

Huggin' on my mama from a jail cell 

And who'd think in elementary, hey 

I'd see the penitentiary one day? 

And running 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 trying to raise a man 

You always was committed 

A poor single mother on welfare, tell me how you did it 

There's no way I can pay you back, but the plan 

Is to show you that I understand 

You are appreciated 

[Hook: Reggie Green & "Sweet Franklin" (w/ 2Pac)] 

Lady, don'tcha know we love ya? (Dear mama) 

Sweet lady, place no one above ya (You are appreciated) 

Sweet lady, don'tcha know we love ya?

[Verse 2] 

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 looking 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 putting money in your mailbox 

I love paying rent when the rent's due 

I hope you 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 coming home after work late 

You're in the kitchen trying to fix us a hot plate 

You just working with the scraps you was given 

And mama made miracles every Thanksgivin' 

But now the road got rough, you're alone 

You're trying to raise 2 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

[Verse 3] 

Pour out some liquor and I reminisce, 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 crazy 

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 you hold on 

It's a struggle every day, gotta roll on 

And there's no way I can pay you back, but my plan 

Is to show you that I understand
