You never kept a secret, always stayed real There are no words that can express how I feel
2pac dear mama anthony hamilton full#
To keep me happy there's no limit to the things you didĪre full of all the sweet things you did for me You say the words that can get me back in focus Pour out some liquor and I reminisce, cause through the drama You're trying to raise two bad kids on your ownīut my plan is to show you that I understand Ya just working with the scraps you was givenĪnd mama made miracles every Thanksgiving You're in the kitchen trying to fix us a hot plate I hope ya got the diamond necklace that I sent to youĬause when I was low you was there for meĪnd never left me alone because you cared for meĪnd I could see you coming home after work late It feels good putting money in your mailbox I ain't guilty cause, even though I sell rocks I needed money of my own so I started slanging I hung around with the Thugs, and even though they sold drugs They say I'm wrong and I'm heartless, but all along He passed away and I didn't cry, cause my anger No love from my daddy cause the coward wasn't there Mama catch me, put a whooping to my backsideįor a woman it ain't easy trying to raise a manĪ poor single mother on welfare, tell me how ya did itīut the plan is to show you that I understand I reminisce on the stress I caused, it was hellĪnd running from the police, that's right
Over the years we was poorer than the other little kidsĪnd even though we had different daddy's, the same drama With the big boys, breaking all the rules Suspended from school, and scared to go home, I was a fool
Though back at the time, I never thought I'd see her faceĪin't a woman alive that could take my mama's place Seventeen years old kicked out on the streets
