2PAC - DEAR MAMA
"Dear Mama" is a song by American rapper 2Pac from his third studio album, Me Against the World (1995). It was released on February 21, 1995, as the lead single from the album. The song is a tribute to his mother, Afeni Shakur.
In the song, Shakur details his childhood poverty and his mother's addiction to crack cocaine but argues that his love and deep respect for his mother supersede bad memories.
From a historical point of view, it is a moving and eloquent tribute both to the murdered rapper's own mother and to all mothers struggling to provide for a family in the face of addiction, poverty and social indifference.
In "Dear Mama," Shakur praises his mother's courage, arguing that many mothers share this trait, and also describes the "highs and lows" of her past.
The song's most famous lyric is one in which Shakur "declares his love for Afeni as well as his disappointment in her
“And even as a crack fiend, mama... You always was a black queen, mama”
