Dear Mama by 2pac

You are appreciated

When I was a youngin' and ma (1)________ 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 from school and (2)____________ to go home, I was a fool

With the big boys, breakin' all the rules

I shed tears with my (3)________ sister

Over the years we was poorer than the (4)__________ little kids

And even though we had different daddy's, 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 (5)________ cell 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 (6)__________ theme, mama

You always was a black queen, mama

I finally (7)____________________ for a woman it ain't easy

Tryin' to raise a man you always was committed

A poor single mother on welfare, (8)________ 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

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

Dear mama, place no one (9)__________ ya, sweet lady

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

Now ain't nobody (10)________ 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 (11)________ drugs

They showed a young brother love

I moved out and started really hangin'

I needed money of my own so I started shaggin'

I ain't guilty 'cause, even though I sell rocks

It (12)__________ 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 (13)__________ see you comin' home (14)__________ work late

You're in the (15)______________ tryin' to fix us a hot plate

Ya just workin' with the (16)____________ you was given

And mama made miracles 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 (17)________ is to show you that I understand you are appreciated

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

And dear mama place no one above ya, sweet lady

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

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 (18)________ me (19)__________ there's no limit to the things you did

And all my childhood memories

Are full of all the sweet (20)____________ you did for me

And even though I act crazy

I gotta thank the (21)________ that you made me

There are no (22)__________ (23)________ 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 (24)________________ everyday, gotta roll on

And there's no way I can pay you back

But my plan is to show you (25)________ I (26)____________________ you are appreciated

Lady, don't cha know we love ya? (27)__________ lady

And dear mama place no one above ya, sweet lady

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

Sweet lady, and dear mama

Dear mama, lady, lady, lady
