BUILDING BLUEPRINT
Next level lyrical insight is a moment away.
Lyrical Analysis of...
dear mama
- You are appreciated
- When I was young, me and my mama had beef
- 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 scared to go home, I was a fool
- With the big boys breakin' all the rules
- I shed tears with my baby sister, over the years
- We was poorer than the other little kids
- And even though we had different daddies, 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 jail cell
- And who'd think in elementary, hey
- I'd 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 crack fiend, Mama
- You always was a black queen, Mama
- I finally understand
- For a woman it ain't easy tryin' to raise a man
- You always was committed
- A poor single mother on welfare, tell me how you did it
- There's no way I can pay you back, but the plan
- Is to show you that I understand: you are appreciated
