He'd like his mom to keep fighting, just like she always has.as he thanks her one more time.ĪNALYSIS: What makes this different than my normal song selections is that it is a fairly straight forward song, but it is one of my favorites. His mother must be in some sort of pain, and it hurts Tupac to see. If you can make it through the night there's a brighter day

He sincerely doesn't know how to thank his mom for bringing him life and trying to raise him right. You never kept a secret, always stayed real There are no words that can express how I feel We die alone and we usually act alone, but we wouldn't even have those opportunities without our mamas.

To keep me happy there's no limit to the things you didĪre full of all the sweet things you did for me He's basically saying his mom is the one who would make him feel worthwhile when he was down. Whose mother can't put them back in focus? Those without moms can never relate to this song other than the shared fact that we were ALL born from a mother (regardless of if she is alive), and we owe our mothers a lot. You say the words that can get me back in focus

Pour out some liquor and I reminisce, cause through the drama He comes to terms with the fact that he can't repay the debt he owes her, but acknoweledging how much he owes her is a start. You're tryin to raise two bad kids on your ownīut my plan is to show you that I understand He feels bad that he can't thank her more for being his savior (other than a diamond necklace, that is). His mom was always there, working with what she had. Ya just workin with the scraps you was given You're in the kitchen tryin to fix us a hot plate I hope ya got the diamond necklace that I sent to youĬause when I was low you was there for meĪnd never left me alone because you cared for meĪnd I could see you comin home after work late He doesn't feel bad about his choices because he was getting the money he needed to survive. It feels good puttin money in your mailbox I ain't guilty cause, even though I sell rocks I needed money of my own so I started slangin Street disciples who could show him a manly way of living. With no father around, he looked to older thugs as role models. I hung around with the Thugs, and even though they sold drugs They say I'm wrong and I'm heartless, but all along His dad died, but he never knew his dad, so why would he care? He passed away and I didn't cry, cause my anger No love from my daddy cause the coward wasn't there No explanation needed for the chorus.hell most idiots even understand the whole song.

Most people should be able to relate to this.after all, who hasn't argued with their mom and then later realized how much she has done for you?

Pretty self-explanatory, but this is a revelation for Tupac.he realizes a single mom raising a man is exponentially difficult!Ī poor single mother on welfare, tell me how ya did itīut the plan is to show you that I understandīefore the chorus, Tupac lets his sentiment be known.he loves his mom and despite the past, wouldn't want any other mom in the world. Tupac rebelled, and his mom was always there to tell him he should know better.įor a woman it ain't easy tryin to raise a man Mama catch me, put a whoopin to my backside I reminisce on the stress I caused, it was hell Tupac and his siter were upset at their economic status and blamed their Mom for not being able to provide better. Over the years we was poorer than the other little kidsĪnd even though we had different daddy's, the same drama Suspended from school and scared to go home, I was a fool Tupac begins his rhyme reminiscing about the troubles he had with his mom growing up, but still admires her. Though back at the time, I never thought I'd see her faceĪin't a woman alive that could take my mama's place Seventeen years old kicked out on the streets "Dear Mama" by Tupac Shakur (whose mother is Afeni Shakur) I'll give you a hint, it's not about his father.
