Mama's just a little girl
Young mothersThat's rightI feel ya (hey)I know how it is(MAMA's JUST A LIL' GIRL)Don't nobody understandI feel ya
[Verse 1: Tupac]
She was ..Born A heavy set girl with pig tails and curlsA heart full of goldStill it won't change the worldThough she could never understand whySome underhanded plans, witnessed a man dieWas only 15Should have been a beauty queenStill see here crying by the caskets when here parents got killedLittle girl don't cry'Coz even though they diedYou can best believe they watching over thee from the skyNever asked for this miseryBut look at what you gettin'It's a blessing in disguiseWhen you find out your pregnantNo money, no homeAnd even though you all aloneYou'se got to do this on your ownSo baby go onI wish you luckAnd if you need me, callJust come to me and let me feed you allI can understandThe way it feels when you fighting the worldFacing all this dramaWhen mama's just A little girl
[Chorus]
MamaDon't know whyMama's just a little girlGiven that she's a ??Time ain't on her sideMama's just a little girl(Mama's just a little girl)She gotta hold her head up high
[Verse 2: Tupac]
At 16 what a beautiful thingThe very essence of a jet black ebony queenAnd who could tell she would get pregnant at an early ageShe didn't listen, had sexWatch her belly raise (hey)Got violated by someone she datedIf this is fate I hate to see the seed she createdSo we wait, though it takes time to build the body and the mindShe reclines 9 monthsThen finally its timeWhat do we find?A little grown boy a mind with a tortured soulAddicted to a life of crime at no time of the growing stageHe learned his values on the streets at an early ageWatch for policeDon't come home (why)'Coz mammas acting crazyAt the hospital'Bout to have another babyLike the rose from concreteGrown withinBlessed with twinsHow the hell can mamma raise 3 menSo we began a closest familySuch insanityA happy homeFor one act inhumanityPlus mammas said the seed was corruptedUsed the rubber bellyBegging us to breathe if she love usNow mamma sits quietSipping peppermint schnappsTurned the house into a spot and made her watch for cops (hey)How could mamma bring a thug like me into this world?She ain't the cause of all the dramaCause mommas just a little girl
[Chorus]
MamaDon't know whyMama's just a little girlLiven if she is or notTime ain't on her sideCause ama's just a little girl(Mama's just a little girl)She gotta hold her head up high(How could she raise us)
[Verse 3: Tupac]
NowWould she remain in the same spot?The gunshots rang, they came from the cane spotNow look hereI see her clutching her sonIn her arms she hurtHer heart bleeding as she watched her seed die in the dirtFulfill prophecyBut who could stop the grief?I walk around trying to hold the world up on top meProbably be an innocent manBut still I'm the victim of a curseWhat could be worse?Nothing but painSince my birth, taught me functions at the penCause everybody's in paying back societyI'm guilty of a life of sinI watched the drama occurMy eyes blurred 'fore I jet itI wonder why we all have to die for we get itThough we shed tearsSo many peers I done buriedWorried and scaredKnowing I'ma see the cemeteryMust be prepared in this cold worldNo-one caresNo it ain't fairBut we all thereAnd do our shareIn this land of underhanded schemes and plansVivid dreams of a nigga having g's in handMamma told me not to be a punkFuck what you talking about cowardWhat you niggas want?
(hey)They ain't a thing I wouldn't do for my mamma in this worldCause you know I ain't mad at chaYou' just a little girlSee mammas just a little girl(hey hey)
[Chorus]
[Repeat until fade]
Mamadon't know whyMama's just a little girlGiven that she is or nottime ain't on here sidemama's just a little girl(mama's just a little girl)she gotta hold her head up high
[Tupac Talking]
They ask us why we mutilate each other like we doAnd wonder why we hold such little worth for human lifeFacing all this dramaBut to ask us why we to turn from bad to worseIs to ignore from which we cameYou see you wouldn't ask why the rose that grew from the concrete had damaged petalsOn the contraryWe would all celebrate its tenacityWe would all love its will to reach the sunWellWe are the roses (echo)This is the concrete (echo)And these are my damaged petals (echo)Don't ask me why (echo)Thank god nigga (echo)Ask me how (echo)(hahaha)
You see, mama's just a little girl
