I used to stare up to the sky
Used to cry
Thinking \'bout my mama
And all the love she used to give
She let me live
May her soul rest in peace
But mama couldn\'t give me what i need
All she could do was feed
My dear old mama
Even when I was old enough to shave
I treated mama like a slave
And while she was breaking her back
I was giving in to crack
\'cause my boys we\'re talking smack
But mama never cried
And while she took the pain
I knew things wouldn\'t be the same
\'Cause mama was hurting
Mama knew i was high
She sat at home watching my baby sister cry
Mama was wishing to die
Hoping I would stop
Before i faced a cop
\'Cause a son in prison was more then mama bargained for
She was too tired to fight
this whole crack war
But mama never shed a tear
And now i sit here in fear
Hoping my dear mama is well
right now life\'s too confusing to tell
