    Tupac Shakur - Dear Mama | Lyrics
    You are appreciated
    [Verse One: 2Pac]
    When I was young me and my mama had beef
    Seventeen years old kicked out on the streets
    Though back at the time, I never thought I'd see her face
    Ain't a woman alive that could take my mama's place
    Suspended from school; and scared to go home, I was a fool
    with the big boys, breakin all the rules
    I shed tears with my baby sister
    Over the years we was poorer than the other little kids
    And even though we had different daddy's, the same drama
    When things went wrong we'd blame mama
    I reminisce on the stress I caused, it was hell
    Huggin on my mama from a jail cell
    And who'd think in elementary?
    Heeey! I see the penitentiary, one day
    And runnin from the police, that's right
    Mama catch me, put a whoopin to my backside
    And even as a crack fiend, mama
    You always was a black queen, mama
    I finally understand
    for a woman it ain't easy tryin to raise a man
    You always was committed
    A poor single mother on welfare, tell me how ya did it
    There's no way I can pay you back
    But the plan is to show you that I understand
    You are appreciated
    [Chorus: Reggie Green & "Sweet Franklin" w/ 2Pac]
    Lady...
    Don't cha know we love ya? Sweet lady
    Dear mama
    Place no one above ya, sweet lady
    You are appreciated
    Don't cha know we love ya?
    [second and third chorus, "And dear mama" instead of "Dear mama"]
    [Verse Two: 2Pac]
    Now ain't nobody tell us it was fair
    No love from my daddy cause the coward wasn't there
    He passed away and I didn't cry, cause my anger
    wouldn't let me feel for a stranger
    They say I'm wrong and I'm heartless, but all along
    I was lookin for a father he was gone
    I hung around with the Thugs, and even though they sold drugs
    They showed a young brother love
    I moved out and started really hangin
    I needed money of my own so I started slangin
    I ain't guilty cause, even though I sell rocks
    It feels good puttin money in your mailbox
    I love payin rent when the rent's due
    I hope ya got the diamond necklace that I sent to you
    Cause when I was low you was there for me
    And never left me alone because you cared for me
    And I could see you comin home after work late
    You're in the kitchen tryin to fix us a hot plate
    Ya just workin with the scraps you was given
    And mama made miracles every Thanksgivin
    But now the road got rough, you're alone
    You're tryin to raise two bad kids on your own
    And there's no way I can pay you back
    But my plan is to show you that I understand
    You are appreciated
    [Chorus]
    [Verse Three: 2Pac]
    Pour out some liquor and I reminisce, cause through the drama
    I can always depend on my mama
    And when it seems that I'm hopeless
    You say the words that can get me back in focus
    When I was sick as a little kid
    To keep me happy there's no limit to the things you did
    And all my childhood memories
    Are full of all the sweet things you did for me
    And even though I act craaazy
    I gotta thank the Lord 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
    And all the extra love that you gave me
    I wish I could take the pain away
    If you can make it through the night there's a brighter day
    Everything will be alright if ya hold on
    It's a struggle everyday, gotta roll on
    And there's no way I can pay you back
    But my plan is to show you that I understand
    You are appreciated
    [Chorus]
    Sweet lady
    And dear mama
    Dear mama
    Lady [3X]

    When I was a teenager I loved this song because of the beat and the message.
    But now that I’m an adult and I’m moved out of my moms it hits me completely different, I honestly can’t hear this song without tearing up now.
    My mom was physically disabled and divorced from my dad cause he had a lot of issues, for a while it was just me and my mom and we were dead broke but she’d always do anything in her power to make sure I got what I needed and she spoiled me a lot too when she could, I don’t think I’ll ever find a woman as sweet as her.
    I visit her basically everyday I have off now and help her financially every month.
    I want to enjoy my time with her cause she’s 64 and I’m only 22 so I know she’s probably not gonna be around for most of my life.

    I f×××××× cry my eyes out every time I hear this song. My mother raised me and my younger brother on her own. We both sold drugs, did drugs, went to the penitentiary, and she stood by us the whole time. This song is the absolute epitome of my life with my brother and mother. She is a saint and I owe her my life. If you read this, call your mom & thank her for everything she did for you and tell her you love her!

    • @Blueeyescry
      @Blueeyescry Před rokem +3

      As a mother I can tell you that most mothers have unconditional love for their kids despite what our kids do. We may not always like what our kids do but we will always love them and be there for them. I lost my mom in 2019 to cancer. I wish more than anything that I could call her and hug her still. ❤

    My mum was an amazing mother.. she was a drug addict, beat that, then moved to alcohol to suppress the drug addiction. All because she was sexually abused as a child by a monster who took away her innocence. Throughout all of that, she was still an amazing mum. She passed away December 2020 aged 47, 11 months after my son (she couldn't deal with losing a grandchild). I love you mum, this was our song 💔

I break down and cry at night in our downstairs bathroom. No mother wants her kids to see her cry. We wipe our tears away and put on a smile for our kids. My kids have no idea I need them more than they need me. I am sure others mom's out there can relate to what I just wrote. As a mother thank u for appreciating your mom.

    The reason Pac is my favourite has nothing to do with his flow, his technical ability, his delivery, his ability to tell a story ect. It isn't even necessarily his lyrics, either. I think what I admire most about his music is that you can feel the passion in every word. There's no bullshitting with Pac, it's all from the heart. He believed everything he rapped about.
    R.I.P Tupac Amaru Shakur, your music will outlive us all.

    I have listened to this song over and over! No law or jail or drugs involved - a single mother I was! God - knows I tried with every piece of love in me for my 3 kids. Now they are adults and have lives of their own. I lay myself down in a sketchy motel because that’s all I can afford!
    The memories I recite over and over in my mind - are memories I will never forget until my dying day! A.C.A - I love love you all heart and soul - I stand alone - because in my heart I feel you forgot about me! No hate here - I promise you that! Fear of what’s next consumes my thoughts of what’s next! Yes I’m getting older and my body is failing me - but my heart remains full of LOVE for my children and grandchildren! Please don’t HATE me - that thought cuts deep. God Bless all of you from a Momma that gave everything in me - to raise you all - to become the amazing adults you are today! Don’t hate rather spread LOVE! I’ll love you forever - I’ll love you for always as long as I’m living my babies you’ll be! ❤️

      1611 King James Version
      Mark 12:29 - 31
      29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
      30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
      31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.

    RIP to my mama. She passed on in 2012, but I still miss her to this day. I never spent a lot of time with her when I was young. I left home for a boarding school when I was 17, coming back only during school holidays. After that I worked far from home, coming home only when I was on holiday. She got old and bedridden, and I could not be there to turn her, to massage her and to spoon-feed her when she could not feed herself anymore. I cried a lot because I could not be at home due to health challenges, but I eventually accepted my fate and stopped crying. I supported my mama as much as I could, but I always feel I would have done more if I was able to stay at home. I love you mama and you know it wherever you are

Teaching you so many good characters. Always praying that God watches over our don’t do nothing at the time behinds. She is the foundation of you! You’ll learn as you get older. Peace!
    Happy Mother Day to all the mothers early.

      playstationsteve that's not the point , I didn't say rappers from Britain are better than rappers from america BECAUSE the are British , I meant some rapper who happen to be British are good , ignore the sterotypes of Britain , its not entirly like the way fox thinks it is , not all if us drink tea or are snobby little shits , anyway bottem line is , there are many rappers in Britain who are good

    • @playstationsteve
      @playstationsteve Před 9 lety +4

      I don't give a shit about any sterotypes because I don't believe shit the media say's but no rapper past present or damn sure future & from whatever damn country including america for that will ever be near 2pac not in this lifetime or any for that matter the man been dead since 1996 & he is still better than all alive combined are that is very sad

      playstationsteve what if there was a person who is better than pac , think about it , why are u so sure , how can u predict that no one is better or as good as pac , and its not like u listened to every rapper through history or all over the world today ,
