[Intro]
To the young mothers... that's right
I feel you
I know how it is, Mama's Just a lil Girl
Don't nobody understand, I feel you

[Verse 1]
She was born a heavy set girl with pigtails and curls
A heart full of gold, still it won't change the world
Though she can never understand why, some underhanded plans witness a man die
Was only 15, should've a beauty queen
Still see her cryin' by the caskets when her parents got killed
Lil Girl don't cry cause even though they died
You can best believe they watchin over thee from the sky
Never asked for this misery but look at what you gettin' is a blessin' in the sky
When they find out you pregnant, no money, no home
And even though you're 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 let me feed you all
I can understand, the way it feels when you fightin' the world
Facin' all this drama but Mama's Just a lil Girl

[Chorus - Kimmy Hill (2Pac)]
Mama, I don't know why
Mama's just a lil girl
Livin' if she is or not, aahhooohhoohh
Time ain't on her side
Cause mama's just a lil girl (cause Mama's Just a lil Girl)
She gotta hold her head up high, aahhooohhoohh

[Verse 2]
At 16, what a beautiful thing
The very essance of a jet black ebony queen
And who can tell she get pregnant at an early age
She didn't listen, had sex watch her belly raise
Hey, got violated by someone she dated
If this is fate I hate to see the seeds that she created
And so we wait although it takes time to build the body and the mind 
She reclines 9 months, then finally it's time - what do we find?
Little grown boy in mind, but a tortured soul  
Addicted to a life of crime at no time for the growin' stage
He learned his values on the streets at an early age
Watch for police, don't come home - why?  
Cause mama's actin' crazy at the hospital
Bout to have another baby like the rose from the concrete
Grown within, blessed with twins, how the hell could mama raise three men?
So we began, closest family, such insanity
A happy home, for one act inhumanity
Plus mama's said the seed was corrupted, used a rubber bearly
Beggin' us to breathe if she love love is
Now mama sits quiet, sippin' peppermint schnapps
Turn the house into a spot and her watch for the cops, hey
How could mama bring a thug like me in this world
She ain't the cause of all the drama (why)
Cause Mama's Just a Lil Girl

[Chorus - Kimmy Hill (2Pac)]
Mama, I don't know why
Mama's just a lil girl
Livin' if she is or not, aahhooohhoohh
Time ain't on her side
Cause mama's just a lil girl (Mama's Just a lil Girl, how could she raise us?)
She gotta hold her head up high, aahhooohhoohh

[Verse 3]
Now, would she remain in the same spot
The gunshots rang, they came from the cane spot
Now look here, I see her clutchin' her son
In her arms, she hurt, her heart bleedin' now she watched her seed die in the dirt
Fulfill prophecy, but who could stop the grief?
I walk around, tryin' to hold the world up on top of me
I probably be a innocent man, still I'm a victim of a curse, what can be worse?
Nothin' but pain since my birth, finally functions at the pen'
Cause everbody's in payin' back society, I'm guilty of a life of sin
I watched the drama occur, my eyes blurred 'fore I jet it
I wonder why we all have to die 'fore we get it
Though we shed tears, so many peers I done buried
Worried and scared, knowin' I'ma see the cemetery
Must be prepared in this cold world, no one cares
No it ain't fair, but we all bear and do our share
In this land of the underhanded schemes and plans
Vivid dreams of a nigga havin G'z in hand
Mama told me not to be a punk
Fuck what you talkin' about, coward, what you niggaz want?
There ain't a thing I wouldn't do for my mama in this world
Cause you know I ain't mad at cha, you just a little girl

[Chorus - Kimmy Hill (2Pac]
Mama, I don't know why
Mama's just a lil girl (Mama's Just a lil Girl)
Livin' if she is or not, aahhooohhoohh
time ain't on her side
Cause mama's just a lil girl
She gotta hold her head up high, aahhooohhoohh

[Outro]
They ask us why we mutilate each other like we do
They wonder why we hold such little worth for a human life, facin' all this drama
To ask us why we turn from bad to worse is to ignore from which we came
You see you wouldn't ask why the rose that grew from concrete had damaged petals
On the contray, we would all celebrate it's tenacity
We would all love it's will to reach the sun
Well... we are the roses, this is the concrete
And these are my damaged petals
Don't ask me why, thank God nigga
Ask me how

You see, Mama's Just a lil Girl
