1
When I was pregnant in jail, I thought I was gonna have a baby and the baby would never be with me, but I was acquitted a month and three days before Tupac was born.
2
I was real happy because I had a son.
3
When I was young, me and my mama had beef.
4
Seventeen years old, kicked out on the streets.
5
Though back at the time, I never thought I'd see her face.
6
Ain't a woman alive that could take my mama's place.
7
I'm spending from school, I'm scared to go home.
8
I was a fool with the big boys breaking all the rules.
9
I said cheers with my baby sister, over the years we was bored and other little kids And even though we had different daddies,
10
the same drama when things went wrong we blamed Mama, I reminisce on the stress I caused,
11
it was hell, hugging on my mama from a jail cell And who thinkin' elementary, hey, I see the penitentiary One day,
12
runnin' from the police, that's right Mama cashed me, put a whooping to my backside And even as a crack fiend,
13
mama You always was a black queen, mama I finally understand, for a woman it ain't easy Trying to raise a man
14
You always was committed A poor single mother on welfare Tell me how you did it, there's no way I can pay you back
15
But the plan is to show you that I understand You all appreciate it Sweetie, don't you know we love you,
16
sweetie Dear mama Please know what I'm above you, sweetie
17
Sweetie, don't you know we love you Now ain't nobody tell
18
us it was fair No love for my daddy cause the coward wasn't there He passed away
19
and I didn't cry Cause my anger wouldn't let me feel for a stranger They say I'm wrong
20
and I'm heartless But all along I was looking for a father, he was gone I hung around with the thugs,
21
and even though they sold drugs They showed a young brother love I moved off, started really hanging I needed money of my own,
22
so I started slanging I ain't guilty cause even though I
23
sell rocks It feels good putting money in your mailbox I
24
love paying rent with the rents too I hope you got the diamond necklace
25
that I sent to you Cause when I was low, you was dead for me You never left me alone
26
because you cared for me
27
And I can see you coming home after work late You're in the kitchen trying to fix us a hot plate
28
You're just working with the scraps you was giving And mama made miracles every Thanksgiving But now the road got rough,
29
you're alone Trying to raise two bad kids on your own
30
And there's no way I could pay you back
31
But my plan is to show you that I understand You all appreciate me Don't you know we love you,
32
sweetie Please know what I'm above you,
33
sweetie Don't you know we love you, sweetie Oh, I say liquor
34
and I reminisce Cause through the drama I can always depend on my mama
35
And when it seems that I'm hopeless You say the words that can get me back in focus
36
When I was sick as a little kid To keep me happy, there's no limit to the things you did
37
And all my childhood memories I'm full of all the sweet things you did for me
38
And even though I act crazy I gotta thank the Lord
39
that you made me There are no words that can express how I feel You never kept a secret, always stayed real And I appreciate how you raised me
40
And all the extra love
41
that you gave me I wish I could take the pain away If you can make it through the night,
42
there's a brighter day Everything will be alright if you hold on It's a struggle every day, gotta roll on And there's no way I can pay you back
43
But my plan is to show you that I understand You all appreciate it Don't you know we love you,
44
sweetie Dear mama Place no one above you,
45
sweetie Made it, don't you know when I'm just made it
46
Made it, made it

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
