She was a single mother on welfare trying to raise two kids that weren’t easy to handle. Even though his mother was there for him when he was crazy and getting in trouble, it felt like she wasn’t doing so good all of the time either. He didn’t come from a good upbringing by way of money and having things. In response to this song, I feel sad for the singer and can see why he wants show his mother his appreciation for her. He wishes he could make everything good for his mother but he just wants her to know he appreciates her. All of the good things his mother did make up his childhood memories. The third verse is about drinking and reminiscing about how the mother was always there for him. He gets his mother a necklace to show his appreciation for her. He began selling drugs and it paid the rent and he isn’t sorry for it. The second verse is about how the father wasn’t there and because of that he was hanging out with thugs. The chorus is about how they love the mother. He ends the verse singing about how as a kid he would never have thought he’d be in jail because he ran from the police. He sings about being poorer than the poor and how he has a sister from a different father. He would get in trouble at school and was afraid to go home so he’d hang out with older kids and get in trouble. The first verse of the song Dear Mama opens with the singer talking about how if he had problems with his mother she would kick him out on the street.
If you can make it through the night there's a brighter day You never kept a secret, always stayed real There are no words that can express how I feel
2 PAC DEAR MAMA FULL
To keep me happy there's no limit to the things you didĪre full of all the sweet things you did for me You say the words that can get me back in focus Pour out some liquor and I reminisce, cause through the drama You're tryin to raise two bad kids on your ownīut my plan is to show you that I understand 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
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 I hung around with the Thugs, and even though they sold drugs They say I'm wrong and I'm heartless, but all along He passed away and I didn't cry, cause my anger No love from my daddy cause the coward wasn't there Mama catch me, put a whoopin to my backsideįor a woman it ain't easy tryin to raise a manĪ poor single mother on welfare, tell me how ya did itīut the plan is to show you that I understand I reminisce on the stress I caused, it was hell 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 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
