You are appreciated

很感谢你

When I was young me and my mama had beef

在我小时候 我和妈妈之间有矛盾

Seventeen years old kicked out on the streets

十七岁的时候 就被赶出家门 走上街头

Though back at the time I never thought I'd see her face

虽然当时我觉得我永远不会再见她

Ain't a woman alive that could take my mama's place

但这世上没有哪个女人能取代我妈妈的位置

Suspended from school and scared to go home I was a fool

被学校停学 又害怕回家 我真的是个傻瓜

With the big boys breakin' all the rules

那些大男孩都不守规矩

I shed tears with my baby sister over the years

多少年来 我和妹妹都过得很苦

We was poorer than the other little kids

我们比其他孩子都要穷

And even though we had different daddies the same drama

虽然我们有不同的父亲 但我们的悲剧却是一样的

When things went wrong we'd blame Mama

只要事情出了问题 我们就怪妈妈

I reminisce on the stress I caused it was hell

我回想起给她造成的压力 简直就是地狱

Huggin' on my mama from a jail cell

竟然只能在牢房里拥抱我的妈妈

And who'd think in elementary hey

小学时候 谁能想到

I'd see the penitentiary one day

有一天我会面临牢狱之灾

And runnin' from the police that's right

从警察手里逃跑 还算简单

Mama catch me put a whoopin' to my backside

却从来都逃不过妈妈的呵斥

And even as a crack fiend Mama

即使你沉迷于那种东西 妈妈

You always was a black queen Mama

你也依然是一位女王 妈妈

I finally understand

我终于明白

For a woman it ain't easy tryin' to raise a man

对一个女人来说 把孩子养育成男子汉 并不容易

You always was committed

为了我 你一直都尽心尽力

A poor single mother on welfare tell me how you did it

你只是个领着救济金的单亲妈妈 告诉我 你怎么做到的

There's no way I can pay you back but the plan

你的恩情 我无以为报 但我的计划是

Is to show you that I understand you are appreciated

让你知道 我理解你的苦心 真的很感激你

Now ain't nobody tell us it was fair

No love from my daddy 'cause the coward wasn't there

从未得到父亲的爱 因为这个懦夫从来不曾在身边

He passed away and I didn't cry 'cause my anger

他去世之后 我都没有流过泪 因为我很愤怒

And I could see you comin' home after work late

You're in the kitchen tryin' to fix us a hot plate
