 When I was young me and my mama had 
 Seventeen years old  out on the streets
 Though back at the time, I never  I'd see her face
 Ain't  woman alive that could take my mama's place
 Suspended from school; and scared to go home, I  a fool
 with the big boys, breakin  the rules
 I shed  with my baby sister
 Over the  we was poorer than the other little kids
 And even though we had different daddy's,  same drama
 When  went wrong we'd blame mama
 I reminice on the stress I caused,  was hell
  on my mama from a jail cell
  who'd think in elementary?
 Heeey! I see the  one day
  runnin from the police, that's right
 Mama catch me, put a whoopin  my backside
 And  as a crack fiend, mama
 You always  a black queen, mama
 I finally understand
 for a woman it ain't easy tryin to raise a 
  always was committed
 A poor single mother on welfare,  me how ya did it
 There's no way  can pay you back
 But the plan is to show you that I 
 You are appreciated
 
 [Chorus:  Green & "Sweet Franklin" w/ 2Pac]

 Dear mama
 Place no one above ya,  lady

 [Verse Two: 2Pac]
 
 Now ain't nobody tell us it  fair
 No love  my daddy cause the coward wasn't there
 He passed away and  didn't cry, cause my anger
 wouldn't let  feel for a stranger
  say I'm wrong and I'm heartless, but all along
 I was lookin for a father  was gone
 I hung around with the Thugs, and even  they sold drugs
 They  a young brother love
 I moved out and started  hangin
 I  money of my own so I started slangin
 I ain't guilty cause, even though I sell 
 It feels good puttin  in your mailbox
 I love payin rent when the  due
  hope ya got the diamond necklace that I sent to you
  when I was low you was there for me
 And never  me alone because you cared for me
 And I could  you comin home after work late
 You're in the  tryin to fix us a hot plate
 Ya just workin with the scraps  was given
 And mama  miracles every Thanksgivin
  now the road got rough, you're alone
 You're tryin to raise two bad kids on  own
  there's no way I can pay you back
  my plan is to show you that I understand
 You are appreciated
 
 [Chorus]
 
 [Verse Three: 2Pac]
 
 Pour out some liquor and I reminsce,  through the drama
 I can always depend on  mama
 And when it  that I'm hopeless
 You say the words that can  me back in focus
 When I was sick as  little kid
 To keep me happy  no limit to the things you did
 And all  childhood memories
 Are full of all the sweet  you did for me
 And even though I act 
 I gotta  the Lord that you made me
  are no words that can express how I feel
 You never kept a secret,  stayed real
  I appreciate, how you raised me
 And all the extra love that  gave me
 I  I could take the pain away
 If  can make it through the night there's a brighter day
 Everything will be alright  ya hold on
 It's a struggle everyday,  roll on
 And  no way I can pay you back
 But my plan is to show you that  understand
 You are appreciated
 
 [Chorus]
 
 Sweet lady
 And dear mama
 
 Dear mama
