                   When I was young, me and my mama had beef
                   17 years old kicked out on tha streets
                   though back in tha time, I never thought I'd see her face
                   ain't a woman alive that can take my mommas place
                   suspended from school, scared ta go home 
                   I was a fool with tha big boys breaking all tha rules
                   shed tears with my baby sister
                   over tha years we wuz poorer than tha other little kids
                   and even though we had different dadies
                   tha same drama when things went wrong we blamed mama                        
                   I reminised on tha stress I caused, it wuz hell
                   hugg'en on my mama from a jail cell
                   and who'ed think in elementry, heeeey i'd see tha penatentry
                   One day
                   running from tha Police, that's right
                   Momma catch me--put a whoop'en to my backside 
                   and even as a crack fiend mama, 
                   ya always was a black queen mama
                   I finally understand for a woman 
                   it ain't easy--trying ta raise a man
                   ya always wuz commited, a poor single mother on welfare, 
                   tell me how ya did it
                   there's no way I can pay ya back
                   but tha plan is ta show ya that I understand.
                   you are appreciated......
    
                   Laaaaady, don't cha know we luv ya
                   Sweeeet Laaaady, place no one above ya
                   Sweeeet Laaaady, don't cha know we luv ya
    
                   Ain't nobody tell us it wuz fair
                   no luv for my daddy, cause tha coward wuzn'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 wuz looking for a father--he wuz gone
                   I hung around with tha thug's and even though they sold drugs
                   they showed a young brother luv
                   I moved out and started really hang'in
                   I needed money of my own so I started slang'in
                   I ain't guilty cause, even though I sell rocks
                   It feels good, putting money in your mailbox
                   I love paying rent when tha rents due
                   I hope ya got tha diamond necklace that I sent to you
                   cause when I wuz low, you was there for me
                   ya never left me alone, cause ya cared for me
                   and I can see ya coming home after work late
                   ya in tha kitchen trying ta fix us a hot plate
                   just working with tha scraps you wuz given
                   and mama made miracles every Thanksgiving
                   but now tha road got rough, your alone 
                   trying ta raise two bad kids on your own
                   and there's no way I can pay ya back
                   but my plan is ta show ya that I understand
                   you are appreciated.....
    
                   Laaaaady, don't cha know we luv ya
                   Sweeeet Laaaady, place no one above ya
                   Sweeeet Laaaady, don't cha know we luv ya
    
                   pour out some liquor and I remenise
                   cause through tha drama, I can always depend on my mama
                   and when it seems that i'm hopeless
                   you say tha words that can get me back in focus
                   when I wuz sick as a little kid
                   ta keep me happy theres no limit to tha things ya did
                   and all my childhood memories 
                   are full of all tha sweet things ya did for me
                   and even though I act craaaazy
                   I got ta thank tha Lord that ya maaaade me
                   There are no words that can express how I feel
                   Ya never kept a secret, always stayed real
                   and I appreciate how ya raised me
                   and all tha extra love that ya gave me
                   I wish I could take tha pain away
                   If you can make it through tha night, there's a brighter day
                   everything'll be alright if ya hold on
                   it's a strugle
                   everyday gotta roll on
                   and there's no way I can pay ya back
                   but my plan is ta show ya that I understand
                   you are appreciated.......
    
                   Laaaaady, don't cha know we luv ya
                   Sweeeet Laaaady, place no one above ya
                   Sweeeet Laaaady, don't cha know we luv ya, Sweeeet Laaaady
    
                   Laaaady...[fades]...Laaaady
