Theory One, Arguement Three

After looking at the second verse of the song Dear Mama, it is still clearly obvious that the song is written towards Tupac's mother in order to show his appreciation for her. In fact, this verse is the most interesting one, considering it has the most meaningful rhymes out of the whole song. As stated in the second verse, "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". This goes to show that apparently he did not have a loving and supporting father throughout his childhood and teenage years. Because of this, it might have cuased him to be the person who he was in the song. Since he had no father, he probably grew a very strong relationship with his mother, who was always there for him. Resorting to anything in order to make money, Tupac started dealing drugs just to put food and money in his mothers hands. Tupac says in the song, "It feels good puttin money in your mailbox, I love payin rent when the rent's due". He feels obligated to take care of his mother no matter what he has to do or go through. He wants to show her his appreciation for her, because he remembers all the nights that she would come home late from work and still struggle to make a meal for him and his sister.
