Young mothers (that's right)

I feel ya (hey)

I know how it is



Mama's just a little girl

Don't nobody understand

I feel ya



[Verse 1: 2Pac]

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 could never understand why

Some underhanded plans witnessed a man die

Was only fifteen, should have been a beauty queen, still

See her crying by the caskets when her parents got killed

Little girl don't cry, cuz even though they died

You can best believe they're watching over thee from the sky

Never asked for this misery, but look at what you're getting

Is a blessing in disguise when you find out you're pregnant

No money, no home, and even though you're all alone

You gots to do this on your own, so baby go

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 you're fighting the world

Facing all this drama when Mama's just a little girl



[Chorus]

Mama don't know why

Mama's just a little girl

Living if she is or not

Time ain't on her side

'Cause Mama's 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 she'd get pregnant at an early age? (what?!)

She didn't listen, had sex, watch her belly raise (hey)

Got violated by someone she dated, if this is fate

I'd 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 it's time

What do we find? Little growing boy of mine-
