[00:00.00]2Pac 、Boehm -Dear Mama
[00:48.544]you are appreciate
[01:03.644]Dear mama
[01:18.34]When I was young me and my mama had beef
[01:20.38]Seventeen years old kicked out on the streets
[01:22.328]Though back at the time I never thought I'd see her face
[01:24.790]Ain't a woman alive that could take my mama's place
[01:27.68]Suspended from school scared ta go home
[01:29.559]I was a fool with the big boyz
[01:31.263]Breakin'all the rules
[01:32.742]Shed tears with my baby sister,over the years
[01:35.122]We was poorer than the other little kids
[01:37.568]And even though we had different daddy's
[01:38.828]The same drama
[01:40.132]When things went wrong we'd blame mama.
[01:41.476]I remwinisce on the stress I cause
[01:44.332]It was hell,huggin'on my mama from a jail cell
[01:48.68]And who'd think in elementary
[01:49.820]Heeey!I see the penitentiary!
[01:51.723]One day,runnin'from the police...
[01:54.653]That's right mama cacthed me,
[01:56.637]Put a whoopin'to my back side
[01:58.500]And even as a crack fiend,mama
[01:59.803]You always was a black queen,mama.
[02:03.82]I finally understand,for a woman it ain't easy
[02:05.508]Tryin'ta raise a man
[02:07.569]You always was committed
[02:09.15]A poor single mother on welfare
[02:10.953]tell me how ya did it
[02:12.372]1-There's no way I can pay ya back,
[02:14.35]But the plan is ta show ya that I understand

[02:26.540]You are appreciated.
[02:41.496]Dear mama
[02:46.115]you are apoereciated
[02:56.348]Now ain't nobody tell us it was fair
[02:58.09]No love from my daddy 'cause the coward wasn't there
[03:00.348]He passed away and I didn't cry
[03:02.658]'Cause my anger wouldn't let me feel for a stranger
[03:05.626]They say I'm wrong and I'm heartless
[03:07.416]But all along I was looking for a father he was gone
[03:10.610]I hung around with the thugs
[03:12.169]And even tho they sold drugs
[03:13.593]They showed a young brother love...
[03:15.483]I moved out and started really hangin'
[03:17.277]I needed money of my own so I started slangin'
[03:19.776]I ain't guilty 'cause even though I sell rocks
[03:22.155]It feels good puttin'money in your mailbox
[03:24.836]I love payin'rent when the rent is due
[03:27.287]I hope you got the diamond necklace that I sent to ya
[03:29.913]'Cause when I was low you was there for me
[03:32.233]Ya never left alone 'cause you cared for me
[03:34.686]And I could see you comin'home after workin'late
[03:36.946]Ya in the kitchen tryin'ta fix us a hot plate
[03:40.190]Ya just workin'with the scraps you was given
[03:42.73]And Mama made miracles every Thanksgivin'
[03:44.561]But now the road got rough,you're alone
[03:47.390]Tryin'to raise two bad kids on your own
[03:49.772]There's no way I can pay ya back,
[03:51.787]But the plan is ta show ya that I understand
[03:54.516]You are appreciated.
