[Intro]
This ones for you mom and i love you
And i'm sorry for doing the stupid stuff i do sometimes
I just hope one day i make ya proud of me
[Verse 1]
Mama I always appreciate how your always there for me
Even when I screwed up you was always there for me
God gave the best mother anyone could ask for
And even though we was never poor
You always made sure my and my lil sis had a happy home
Breaking your back jus so we could have a good life
Hate when I see ya shed a tear it jus kills me inside
Wishin' i could take the pain away
If you can make it through the rain theres a brighter day
And i just wanted to say that I love you from the moon nd back
I'm sorry for the times I made ya cry I wish I never done that
But I promise imma change
For the good and the better imma change my childish ways
And every thanksgiving
6 in morn' you was cookin in the kitchen
Just to make sure everybody had a good day
Gave me memories so precious especially on the holidays
Your my number one supporter on everything I ever done
Such a good mom i wonder if i'm just as good a son
Cause i know I disappoint ya sometimes
Cause I always disobeyed and kept telling lies
There's no way I can pay you back
But the plan Is to show you that I understand
You are appreciated
[Chorus]
Lady, don't you know we love ya? (Dear Mama)
Sweet lady, place no one above ya (You are appreciated)
Sweet lady, don't you know we love ya?
[Verse 2]
This song right here is my appreciation
You and dads story of the past is my motivation
To show yall you dont have to worry cause even if I don't become rich
Drive fancy cars or make big hits
I'll always have your back you can count on that
Cause we struggle as a family
Perceveir as family
I know we gonna make it so dont ya lose hope
If ya trip get back up cause life is like a jump rope
Trippin' ya up
Feelin like ya can't get back up
But dust ya self cause life goes on
I know i dont have to tell u guys cuz i kno ya'll strong
You gave me something even money couldn't buy
You gave me storys of your past and always made time
For me and my sister i'll never forget the things ya did for me
I was 5 years old 9 o'clock come around you used to read to me
I appreciate ya just for being in my life
Kept me outta trouble nd helped me do right
You helped me through my hardest times
And still support me when i write my rhymes
You and pops always made sure we had food to eat
A nice warm house with a bed to sleep
There's no way I can pay you back
But the plan Is to show you that I understand
You are appreciated
[Chorus]
Lady, don't you know we love ya? (Dear Mama)
Sweet lady, place no one above ya (You are appreciated)
Sweet lady, don't you know we love ya?
[Verse 3]
Words can explain how appreciative i feel
Never told a lie always kept it real
Kept me in focus nd kept me on track
I just want to say im thankful for that
Cuz even when i was a lil kid
You told me how tough life really is
And said if life knocks ya down get back up nd throw the next hit
And said sometimes that life is bitch
But its just something you gotta learn to live wit
Even if dont roll in your favor
Dont worry son times will get greater
So don't ya cry I promise it will be alright
So thank you mom always filled with knowledge and advice
To snap me into focus
Thts why i never give up i love so much i hope kno dis
Imma make ya proud one day
At graduation thats my son is what i hope ya say
There's no way I can pay you back
But the plan Is to show you that I understand
You are appreciated
[Chorus]
Lady, don't you know we love ya? (Dear Mama)
Sweet lady, place no one above ya (You are appreciated)
Sweet lady, don't you know we love ya?
Lady, don't you know we love ya? (Dear Mama)
Sweet lady, place no one above ya (You are appreciated)
Sweet lady, don't you know we love ya?
