To all the mothers', happy mommy day.
I have been reading some of you for years now. I have been with you as your children grown. I felt that I saw their first everything as you caring shared with me (and the rest of bloop). It has been amazing to read all the amazing things you mother's do to raise a child. It is not easy and especially with some of the drama you had to deal with along the way.
As I visit my friend Lisa, who was blessed in September to be a mother for the first time, I am hearing about a lot of her struggles and for the most part, she's a stay at home mom.
For a lot of you, you didnt have that luxury.
Thank you for sharing your life and your child's life with me.
I hope you are showed with love on this very special day. Happy mother's day.
to my own mother:
I have the best mother anyone could ask for. From sitting besides me after every eye oporation I ever had. (14) and all the check-ups.
For fighting for me to stay in public school and questioning why my twin came home with homework in first grade and I didn't.
For keeping me in as much activities as I could, despite losing my vision.
For going to all those concerts growing up with me and my sibs... and even now, when I have no one to go to see Bon Jovi or Blessid union with, you would volunteer to go. I know you enjy it, but I enjoy it 100 times more, and without you, I wouldnt have been able to go.
For suporting me in what ever indever i choose: academicly, career field or most anything I want in life. You are always there to suport me.
For driving me and my sibs to Hebrew School, Cub scouts and soccer practice-games. How you managed to juggle all those, including my sister taking 3 different types of dance classes, I have no idea.
thank you mom. I love you
Dear mama
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 daddy's, the same drama
When things went wrong we'd blame mama
I reminice on the stress I caused, it was hell
Huggin on my mama from a jail cell
And who'd think in elementary?
Heeey! I 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 ya did it
There's no way I can pay you back
But the plan is to show you that I understand
You are appreciated
[Chorus: Reggie Green & "Sweet Franklin" w/ 2Pac]
Lady...
Don't cha know we love ya? Sweet lady
Dear mama
Place no one above ya, sweet lady
You are appreciated
Don't cha know we love ya?
[second and third chorus, "And dear mama" instead of "Dear mama"]
[Verse Two: 2Pac]
Now ain't nobody tell us it was fair
No love from my daddy cause the coward wasn't there
He passed away and I didn't cry, cause my anger
wouldn't let me feel for a stranger
They say I'm wrong and I'm heartless, but all along
I was lookin for a father he was gone
I hung around with the Thugs, and even though they sold drugs
They showed a young brother love
I moved out and started really hangin
I needed money of my own so I started slangin
I ain't guilty cause, even though I sell rocks
It feels good puttin money in your mailbox
I love payin rent when the rent's due
I hope ya got the diamond necklace that I sent to you
Cause when I was low you was there for me
And never left me alone because you cared for me
And I could see you comin home after work late
You're in the kitchen tryin to fix us a hot plate
Ya just workin with the scraps you was given
And mama made miracles every Thanksgivin
But now the road got rough, you're alone
You're tryin to raise two bad kids on your own
And there's no way I can pay you back
But my plan is to show you that I understand
You are appreciated
[Chorus]
[Verse Three: 2Pac]
Pour out some liquor and I reminsce, cause through the drama
I can always depend on my mama
And when it seems that I'm hopeless
You say the words that can get me back in focus
When I was sick as a little kid
To keep me happy there's no limit to the things you did
And all my childhood memories
Are full of all the sweet things you did for me
And even though I act craaazy
I gotta thank the Lord that you made me
There are no words that can express how I feel
You never kept a secret, always stayed real
And I appreciate, how you raised me
And all the extra love that you gave me
I wish I could take the pain away
If you can make it through the night there's a brighter day
Everything will be alright if ya hold on
It's a struggle everyday, gotta roll on
And there's no way I can pay you back
But my plan is to show you that I understand
You are appreciated
[Chorus]
Sweet lady
And dear mama
Dear mama
Lady [3X]
