Lyrics to Dear Momma by 2Pac Shakur


Dear Momma
2 Pac

'When I was pregnant in jail I thought I was gonna have a
baby and the baby would never be with me but I was acquitted
a month and three days before 2 Pac was born, I was real happy,
because I had a son...'

When I was young me and my momma had beef
Seventeen years old kicked out on the street
Though back at the time I never thought I'd see her face
Ain't a woman alive that could take my momma's place
Suspended from school
I'm scared to go home I was a cool with the big boys breakin all the rules
I shed tears with my baby sister over the years
We was poorer than the little other kids
And even though we had different daddies
the same drama when things went wrong we blamed momma
I reminisce on the stress I caused
It was hell
Huggin on my momma from a jail cell
And who thinkin elemantary
Haaay I see the penitentiary one day
Runnin from the po-lice that's righ'
Momma catch me put a whuppin to ma back side
And even as a crack fiend momma
You always was a black queen momma
I finally understand for a woman it ain't easy
Tryin to raise a man
You always was commited
A poor single mother on welfare
Tell me how ya did it
There's no way I could pay you back
But the plan is to show that I understand...

You are appreciated

Dear Momma

You are appreciated

There ain't nobody tell us it was fair
No love for 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 brotha love
I moved out and started really hangin'
I need money of my own so I started slangin'
I ain't guilty 'cause even though I sell rocks
It feels good puttin money in yo mailbox
I love payin rent when the rent's due
I hope you got the diamond necklace that I sent to ya
'cause when I was low you was there for me
you never left me alone because you care for me
and I can see you comin' home after work late
Ya in the kitchen tryin to fix us a hot plate
You jus' workin with the scraps you was given
And momma made miracles every Thanksgivin'
But now the road got rough you're alone
Ya tryin' to raise two bad kids on your own
And there's now way I could pay you back
But my plan is to show you that I understand

You are appreciated

Dear momma

You are appreciated

Pour out some liquor and I reminisce
'cause through the drama I could always depend on my momma
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 crazy
I gotta thank the lord that ya made 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 the extra love that ya gave me
I wish I could take the pain away
If you could 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 could pay you back
But my plan is to show you that I understand

You are appreciated

Dear Momma

You are appreciated

Dear Momma
Dear Momma...
