Theory One, Arguement Four

After attempting to interpret the third verse, I came to the conclusion that this song is definately dedicated to Tupac's mother. It is also indeed trying to show how much appreciation and love he has for his mother. He misses how when he was in doubt, his mother would give him some good words of advice, and it would motivate him to do the right thing. He remembers his childhood and how his mom did her best to provide him with everything he could have possibly wanted. He thanks her for how she raised him as a child. Basically, he is repeating how he plans to show her that he understands what she went through. He states in the third verse, "I gotta thank the Lord that you made me, There are no words that can express how I feel". This shows once again how he constantly thanks her for not only taking care of him, but also for concieving him, how wierd but understandable. He wishes that he could do something to ease the pain of a such a hard life, but realizes that all he can do is hold on and hope the struggles fade. There is much repetition in this verse to show how he cares for his mother. For example, also stated in the song was "Pour out some liquor and I reminsce, cause through the drama, I can always depend on my mama". This is another perfect example to illustrate the appreciation he had for his mother. By stating that he could always depend on his mama, he shows everyone that she is most likely the most important figure in his life, along with his only sister.
