  I was young me and my mama had beef
 Seventeen years old kicked out on  streets
 Though back at the time, I  thought I'd see her face
 Ain't a woman alive that could  my mama's place
 Suspended from  and scared to go home, I was a fool
 with the big boys, breakin  the rules
 I shed tears  my baby sister
  the years we was poorer than the other little kids
 And even though we had different daddy's, the same 
 When  went wrong we'd blame mama
 I  on the stress I caused, it was hell
 Huggin on my mama from  jail cell
  who'd think in elementary?
 Heeey! I  the penitentiary, one day
 And runnin from the police, that's 
  catch me, put a whoopin to my backside
  even as a crack fiend, mama
 You always was a black queen, 
 I finally understand
 for  woman it ain't easy tryin to raise a man
 You always  committed
 A poor single mother on welfare, tell me how  did it
  no way I can pay you back
 But the plan is to show you that I 
 You are appreciated
 
 [Chorus:  Green & "Sweet Franklin" w/ 2Pac]
 
 Lady...
 Don't cha know we love  Sweet lady
 Dear mama
 Place no one above ya,  lady
 You are appreciated
 Don't  know we love ya?
 
 [second and third chorus, "And dear mama" instead  "Dear mama"]
 
 [Verse Two: 2Pac]
 
 Now ain't nobody  us it was fair
 No love from my daddy cause the coward wasn't 
 He passed away and I didn't cry,  my anger
 wouldn't let me feel for  stranger
 They say I'm wrong and I'm  but all along
 I was lookin for a father  was gone
 I hung around with the Thugs, and even though they  drugs
 They showed a young  love
 I moved out  started really hangin
 I needed money of  own so I started slangin
 I  guilty cause, even though I sell rocks
 It feels good puttin money in  mailbox
 I love payin rent when the  due
 I hope ya got the  necklace that I sent to you
 Cause  I was low you was there for me
 And never left me alone  you cared for me
 And I could see you  home after work late
 You're in the kitchen tryin  fix us a hot plate
 Ya just  with the scraps you was given
 And mama made miracles every 
 But now the road got rough, you're 
 You're tryin  raise two bad kids on your own
 And there's no way I can pay you 
  my plan is to show you that I understand
 You are appreciated
 
 [Chorus]
 
 [Verse Three: 2Pac]
 
 Pour  some liquor and I reminsce, cause through the drama
  can always depend on my mama
 And when it seems that  hopeless
 You say the words that can get me back  focus
 When I  sick as a little kid
 To keep me happy there's  limit to the things you did
 And all  childhood memories
 Are  of all the sweet things you did for me
 And even  I act craaazy
 I gotta thank the Lord  you made me
 There are no words  can express how I feel
 You never kept  secret, always stayed real
 And I appreciate, how  raised me
 And all the extra love  you gave me
 I wish I could take the  away
  you can make it through the night there's a brighter day
 Everything  be alright if ya hold on
  a struggle everyday, gotta roll on
 And there's no way I can  you back
 But my plan is to show you  I understand
 You are appreciated
 
 [Chorus]
 
 Sweet lady
 And dear mama
 
 Dear mama
 Lady [3X]
