~#**************#~
[Verse 1: 2Pac]
~#**************#~
She was born a heavy set girl with pigtails and curls
~#**************#~
A heart full of gold, still it wont change the world
~#**************#~
Though she could never understand why
~#**************#~
Some underhanded plans witnessed a man die
~#**************#~
Was only fifteen, should have been a beauty queen, still
~#**************#~
See her cryin by the caskets when her parents got killed
~#**************#~
Little girl dont cry, cuz even though they died
~#**************#~
You can best believe theyre watchin over thee from the sky
~#**************#~
Never asked for this misery, but look at what youre gettin
~#**************#~
Its a blessin in disguise when you find out youre pregnant
~#**************#~
No money, no home, and even though youre all alone
~#**************#~
You gots to do this on your own, so baby gone
~#**************#~
I wish you luck and if you need me, call
~#**************#~
Just come to me and let me feed you all
~#**************#~
I can understand the way it feels when youre fightin the world
~#**************#~

~#**************#~

~#**************#~
Cause Mamas just a little girl (Mamas just a little girl)
~#**************#~
She gotta hold her head up high
~#**************#~
[Verse 2: 2Pac]
~#**************#~
At sixteen
~#**************#~
What a beautiful thing, the very essence of a jet-black ebony queen
~#**************#~
And who could tell shed get pregnant at an early age? (what?!)
~#**************#~
She didnt listen, had sex, watch her belly raise (hey)
~#**************#~
Got violated by someone she dated
~#**************#~
If this is fate, Id hate to see the seeds she created, and so we waited
~#**************#~
Though it takes time to build a body and a mind
~#**************#~
She reclines nine months then finally its time
~#**************#~
What do we find?, little growin boy of mine
~#**************#~
With a tortured soul, addicted to a life of crime
~#**************#~
Had no time for the growin stage
~#**************#~
He learned his values on the streets at an early age
~#**************#~
Watch for police, dont come home (Why?)
~#**************#~
Cuz Mamas actin crazy at the hospit-al
~#**************#~
bout to have another baby
~#**************#~
Like a rose from the concrete, growin within
~#**************#~
Blessed with twins how the hell can Mama raise three men?
~#**************#~
So we began, closest family, such insanity
~#**************#~
A happy home, from one act of inhumanity
~#**************#~
Plus Mama said the seed was corrupted
~#**************#~
Used to rub Her belly, beggin us to breathe and shed loved us
~#**************#~
Now, Mama, sits quiet, sippin peppermint Schnapps
~#**************#~
Turned the house into a spot and made her watch for cops (Hey)
~#**************#~
How could Mama bring a thug like me in this world?
~#**************#~
She aint the cause of all the drama
~#**************#~
Cause Mamas just a little girl
~#**************#~
[Hook: Kimma Hill]
~#**************#~
Mama dont know why (Stupid motherfuckers dont know)
~#**************#~
Mamas just a little girl
~#**************#~
Livin if she is or not
~#**************#~
Time aint on her side
~#**************#~
Cause Mamas just a little girl (Mamas just a little girl)
~#**************#~
She gotta hold her head up high
~#**************#~
(How could she raise us)
~#**************#~
[Verse 3: 2Pac]
~#**************#~
Now, will she remain in the same spot?
~#**************#~
The gunshots rang, they came from the ‘caine spot
~#**************#~
Now, look here, I see her clutchin her son in her arms, shes hurt
~#**************#~
Her heart bleeds, now she watched her seed die in the dirt
~#**************#~
Fulfilled prophecy
~#**************#~
But who could stop the grief I walk around, tryin to hold the world, up on top of me
~#**************#~
Id probably be an innocent man, still Im the victim of a curse
~#**************#~
What could be worse?, nothing but pain, since my birth
~#**************#~
Only functions at the Pen, cuz everybodys in
~#**************#~
Payin back society, Im guilty of a life of sin
~#**************#~
I watch the drama occur, my eyes blur before I jetted
~#**************#~
I wonder why we all have to die ‘fore we get it
~#**************#~
Though we shed tears, so many peers Ive done buried
~#**************#~
Worried and scared, knowin Ima see the cemetery
~#**************#~
Must be prepared, in this cold world, no one cares
~#**************#~
No! It aint fair, but we all bear and do our share
~#**************#~
In this land of the underhanded schemes and plans
~#**************#~
Vivid dreams of a nigga havin Gs in hand
~#**************#~
Mama told me not to be a punk
~#**************#~
Fuck what you talkin about, coward, what you niggas want? (Hey)
~#**************#~
There aint a thing I wouldnt do for my Mama in this world
~#**************#~
Cause you know I aint mad at cha, youre just a little girl (Heyheyy)
~#**************#~
Hell naw,(thats right) see mamas just a little girl (Mamas just a little girl)
~#**************#~

~#**************#~

~#**************#~
Cause Mamas just a little girl (Mamas just a little girl)
~#**************#~

~#**************#~
[Collision: 2Pac]
~#**************#~
They ask us why we mutilate each other like we do
~#**************#~
And wonder why we hold such little worth for human life (Facin all this drama, when mamas just a little girl)
~#**************#~
To ask us why we turn from bad to worse, is to ignore from which we came (Mamas just a little girl)
~#**************#~
You see, you wouldnt ask why the rose that grew from the concrete had
~#**************#~
Damaged petals
~#**************#~
On the contrary, we would all celebrate its tenacity
~#**************#~
We would all love its will to reach the sun
~#**************#~
Well, we are the roses (We are the roses)
~#**************#~
This is the concrete (This is the concrete)
~#**************#~
And these are my damaged petals (These are my damaged petals)
~#**************#~
Dont ask me why (Dont ask why)
~#**************#~
Thank God, nigga (Thank god)
~#**************#~
Ask me how (Ahahaha)
~#**************#~
You see, Mamas just a little girl
~#**************#~
Mama (Hey)…
~#**************#~
