Lyrical Analysis of...
Mama
- Dear Mama,
- Borrowed the beat from Pac, to drop, these raw thoughts,
- Bout our relationship, and Hating it, rough as a teen,
- Didn't get it, didn't understand, thought you was being mean,
- I was the oldest, the boldest, tough for you to roll with,
- Not easy and you, told me that,
- And I did nothing but, fucking fight back,
- So I think back, feel bad, and move on,
- But I cant, so, I put it in a song,
- As I ran the streets, stealing shit, altercations with police,
- Never realized that you needed me,
- Suggestions never heeded, we,
- Thought we knew it all, said fuck school, smoked and played ball,
- You saw my potential, saw me fall victim to the false call,
- Crying out, wishin I would listen,
- But I didn't, pushed my lifestyle with persistence.
- Felt like the fuckin victim, yet thats where you were sittin',
- Now please, listen to my explanation,
- It wasn't easy, so I'll paint the causation,
- Daddy gone, had an impact, so strong,
- So wrong, for too long, blew my shit up,
- Like a fucking bomb, started smoking on the hella strong,
- Sought to alleviate, my pain, herb helped me to meditate,
- Get gone, forget about trying to be a man, not for long,
- No guide to help me along, pressure in the home,
- drugs help to take the pressure out my dome,
- And I know, I'm a clone, story told before, I ain't the only one,
- Don't change, the feelings that I had so I ripped the bong,
- Cracked a brew, forgot about life,
- Forgot who's who, forgot the fucking strife,
- Man life, was fucked, cut me up, like a fucking knife,
- Might sound like I'm bitching, but it was so hard, sad nights,
- Seeking motivation lost, pressure for a kid who was smart,
- Reminded, constantly arrived at, conclusions I was losing,
- Life running away, why try anyway, surrender was my mind state,
- So I grabbed a new slate, Michigan my new state,
- My success became my new take,
- Opportunities like leaves, watch me start to rake,
- So Mama let me break it down, I acted like a fucking clown,
- The behavior came back around, brought me way down,
- And I know you wanted nothing be to teach me, and you got burned,
- See I couldn't be taught, I had to learn to learn,
- And I did, and it took some time, knowledge I had to earn,
- and I'm getting there, I now understand,
- The root of all your concern, and it's too late,
- But relationship wise, I think we okay,
- Now my whole life, heading up, turned like a roundabout,
- And I'm sorry and I mean it, this song is my heart's sound
- I wish it hadn't took so long, but I mean it Mama,
- No more conflict, no more mean drama,
- I got my life turned around, I hope you see it Mama.
