I see the penitentiary, one day And running from the police, that's Mama catch me, put a whooping to my And even as a fiend, mama You was a black queen, mama I understand For a woman it easy trying to raise a man You always was A poor single on welfare, tell me how ya did it no way I can pay you back But the plan is to you that I understand You are
