Theory Two, Arguement One

Although its obvious that this song is about Tupac's appreciation for his mother, it might be possible that the song also has another meaning behind it. After thinking about it for a while, I came to the conclusion that maybe this song is about Tupac's personal family issues. There are plenty of lines that purport to show that Tupac was possibly going through some issues with his mom and dad at the moment. For example, as stated in the first verse of the song, "When I was young me and my mama had beef, Seventeen years old kicked out on the streets". This says something about an action he may have done wrong. Whatever the action may have been, it ultimately caused his mom to kick him out of the house. This may have been the start of his family problems. Asides from possibly having problems with his mom, it seems like he also had problems with his dad. Also right at the beginning of the second verse, Tupac mentions, "No love from my daddy cause the coward wasn't there. He passed away and I didn't cry, cause my angerwouldn't let me feel for a stranger." These words are very deep coming from anyone. But then again, how can he feel pain for someone he barely knew? Because he did not have a father for most of his life, he most likely diverted to other people who would show him love and appreciation.
