I heard this song was written while Tupac was in prison. I think its just a thank-you to his mother for all he put her through during his life up to that point. He feels that even though she probably isn't proud of what he has done all the time, she still deserves to know that she is in his heart forever and always. Its a very emotional song I beleive.

What this song really talks about is allthe struggles he and his family went through while he was growing up. He isn't focusing on things that only he did wrong, although that's his main focus. He talks about how he never thought he would be locked up in the state pen [and hey who think in elementary, one day i'd see the penitentary]. He also mentions his mother's addiction to cocaine, and forgiving her for it, and saying she basically was still all they could have wished for [and even as a crack fiend mama, ya always was a black queen, mama] then he goes on to talk about how his father not being in his life as a child made him extremely angry [he passed away and i didn't cry cuz my anger wouldn't let me feel for a stranger] next he talks about how he got started into drug dealing. he says that he hung around with the older dealers as a little kid because they gave him protection, and made him feel loved, and eventually as he got older he grew into it. he says that he isn't really comitting a crime selling crack because it pays his bills. he then buys her a diamond necklace to show how much she means to him. he then proceeds to talk about all the sweet things his mother did for them when they were kids, and how she always loved and nurtured them. he basically says that he knows & appreciates all the wonderful things she did for them, and that he can never pay her back.
