[Bbm] _ _ [B] _ _ _ [Gb] We blame mama.
[Bbm] I reminisce on the [Ebm] stress.
I cause it was [B] hell [Ebm] hugging on my mama from a jail cell
[Bbm] And who [B] think in elementary?
Hey, [Ebm] I see the penitentiary [Db] one day
[Gb] Running from the police.
[B] That's right.
Mama [Gb] catch me for the wolf into my [Db] backside
And [B] even as a crack fiend mama, you're [Ebm] always was a black queen [Bbm] mama
I [B] finally understand for a woman.
It ain't easy [Gb] trying to raise a man
[Bbm] You're always [Ebm] was committed a poor single mother on welfare.
Tell me how you [Bbm] did it
There's no way I can [Ebm] play it back.
But the [Abm] plan is to show you that I [Ebm] understand you [Bbm] all appreciate
_ [Ebm] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Gb] _ _ [Ebm] Please
[Abm] Please no [Ebm] one [Gb] above you
You all appreciate [Ebm] it
You're all to know in [Gb] love
[Bbm] No, ain't nobody [B] tell us it was fair.
No love for my daddy cuz the coward wasn't there
He passed away and I didn't cry cuz my anger wouldn't let me [Bbm] feel for a stranger
[Db] They say I'm wrong and I'm [Ebm] heartless, [B] but all along I was looking for a [Ebm] father.
He was gone
[Bbm] I hung around with the [B] books and even though they [Abm] sold drugs and showed a [Ebm] young brother love
[Bbm] I moved out started [Ebm] really hanging.
I needed [B] money on my own.
So I [Gbm] started slinging
I ain't [Bbm] guilty cuz even though I [B] sell rocks it feels good put money in your [Gb] mailbox
I [Bbm] love paying rent when [Gb] the bitch to hope you [Abm] got the diamond necklace that I [Gb] sent to you
Just [Db] when I was low you was [Gb] dead for me
Never [Abm] left me alone because she [Ebm] did for me and I can [Bbm] see you coming home after [B] work late
You in the kitchen trying to fix us a [Gb] hot plate
[Db] Just working with [Ebm] the scraps.
She was giving [B] and mama made miracles [Gb] every Thanksgiving
[Bbm] But now the road got [Ebm] rough you're alone [B] trying to raise two [Gb] bad kids on your own
[Db] And there's no way I [Ebm] could play it back.
But my [B] plan is to show you that [Ebm] I understand [Bbm] you all appreciate
_ [Ebm] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
[Gb] _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _ [Abm] _ _ _
[Bbm] _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ [Bbm] _ [Ebm] I
Stood [B] a drama I can always [Ebm] depend on my mama [Bbm] and when it seems that [B] I'm hopeless
Say [Abm] the words that can get me back [Ebm] and focus
[Bbm] When I was sick [Gb] as a little kid to keep [Abm] me happy, there's no limit to [Gb] the things you do
[Db] And all my childhood [Ebm] memories
[B] Full of all the sweet [Ebm] things you did for me
[Bbm] And even though I [Ebm] act crazy
[Abm] I gotta thank the Lord that [Ebm] you made me [Bbm] there are no words that can [Ebm] express how I feel [Abm] you never kept a secret
[Gb] Always stay real [Bbm] and I appreciate how [Ebm] you raised me and all the [Abm] extra love [Gb] that you gave me
[Bbm] I wish I could [Ebm] take the pain away if you [B] can make it through the night.
[Gb] There's a brighter day
Everything will [Db] be alright [B] if you hold on it's a struggle every day [Gb] gotta roll on
There's no way I could pay you back.
But [B] my plan is to show you [Ebm] that I [Bbm] understand you all appreciate
