Dear Mama by 2pac

You are appreciated

When I was a youngin' and ma mama had me

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 (1)________ 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 (2)____________ kids

And even though we had (3)__________________ daddy's, the same drama

When things went (4)__________ we'd blame mama

I reminisce on the stress I caused, it was hell

Huggin' on my mama from a jail (5)________ and high school elementary?

Hey, 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 theme, mama

You always was a (6)__________ 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 (7)________ you that I understand you are appreciated

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

Dear mama, (8)__________ no one above ya, sweet lady

You are appreciated, don't cha (9)________ we love ya?

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 (10)________ around with the Thugs, and even though they (11)________ drugs

They showed a young brother love

I moved out and started (12)____________ hangin'

I needed (13)__________ of my own so I started shaggin'

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 (14)________ made (15)________________ every thanksgivin'

But now the road got rough, here 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

Lady, don't cha (16)________ we (17)________ ya? Sweet lady

And (18)________ mama place no one above ya, sweet lady

You are appreciated, don't cha know we love ya?

Pour out (19)________ 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 (20)________ 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 (21)__________ 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 (22)____________ real

And I appreciate, how you raised me

And all the extra love that you gave me

I wish I (23)__________ 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 (24)________ on

And there's no way I can pay you back

But my plan is to show you that I (25)____________________ you are appreciated

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

And dear mama (26)__________ no one (27)__________ ya, sweet lady

You are appreciated, don't cha (28)________ we love ya?

Sweet lady, and dear mama

Dear mama, lady, lady, lady
