You are appreciated..,
Though back in time, I never thought I'd see your face
ain't a woman alive that can take my momma's place
I was a fool with the big boys breaking all tha rules
shed tears with my baby bro
The same drama when things went wrong we blamed mama
I finally understand for a woman
it ain't easy--trying to raise a teen
tell me how you did it
there's no way I can pay ya back
but tha plan is ta show ya that I understand.
you are appreciated..,
Lady, don't you know I luv you
Sweet Lady, place no one above you
Sweet Lady, don't you know I luv you
Ain't nobody tell us it was fair
cause my anger, wouldn't let me feel for a stranger
they say i'm wrong and I'm heartless
I needed money of my own so I started slang'in I ain't guilty cause,
even though I sell rocks
cause when I was low, you was there for me
you never left me alone, cause you cared for me
you in the kitchen trying to fix us a hot plate
just working with the scraps you was given
and mama made miracles every X-mass
but now tha road got rough,
and there's no way I can pay ya back
but my plan is ta show ya that I understand
you are appreciated...
Lady, don't you know I luv you
Sweet Lady, place no one above you
Sweet Lady, don't you know I luv you
Pour out some liquor and I reminisce
cause through tha 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
they 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 got ta thank ya, that ya 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 tha night, there's a brighter day
everything'll be alright if you 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..,
Lady, don't you know I luv you
Sweet Lady, place no one above you
Sweet Lady, don't you know I luv you

Naomi
re-wrote it a bit
left things out to send it to me, her mama,
The whole "rapsong-lyrick" is real good,
it touched me deep,

Thanks Naomi for the send
thanks Tupack for the song.

My girl?
She's like a soft breeze
on too hot a day.
She's like a white ocean
in a fast desert.

When she comes up to me
it's like 4000 sportcars,
Drive up to me and say:
"Take me;I'm all yours.

She's got a name,
starting with the L of love.
And ending with the A of adorable.
She's got hair as clear as,
The soul of God himself

If you look in her eyes,
it's like you're getting
Carried away,
on 2000 golden sunbeams,
Right on to a blue heaven.

My girl,
she's the thrill of a life time.
