You will always be appreciated.
When I was young, my mama and I had altercations
though back at time, I never thought I'd see her face
no single woman alive that could take my mother's place.
Suspended from school, scared to go home, I was a fool
hung around the wrong crowds, breaking all sorts of rules.
I would shed tears with my little Brother over the years, the struggle continued.
When things went wrong, we'd blame mother
I recall on all the stress I caused, it was hell.
You always were a queen, Mother
and I finally understand, for a woman
it isn't easy trying to raise a man, you always were committed
There's no way I can ever pay you back
but the plan is to show you I finally understand, you are appreciated.
I sit back and I reminisce, because through all the drama
I can always depend on mother.
And when it all but seems that I'm hopeless
you say the words that can lift me back in focus.
As a very sick child, to keep me smiling
there was no limit to the things you did and all my childhood memories
are full of sweet things you did for me.
And even though I acted selfish, I have to thank the Lord that you made me
no words can express how I feel, and I appreciate how you raised me.
I wish I could take the pain back, if we made it through the night, we can make it through brighter days.
There's no way I can ever pay you back
but the plan is to show you I finally understand, you are appreciated and will always be loved.
