Such thing as "Parental Alienation". It's not ALWAYS the Da's fault. Some men jump over every hurdle put in their way to constantly find there's ever deepening trenches dug on the other side. But yeh, dead beat Dads are clowns.
This the song that made Pac my favorite song writer and rapper of all time, I was a big Ll cool j fan during this time,but I was going through some things as a innercity 14 year old black male , I related to 2pac more, he was like 6 years older than me but through his lyrics he felt like a older brother trying to put me up on game and open my eyes. To this day I still see him that way. It's funny how a 25 year old can have that affect. I'm 45 now and find myself quoting Pac in real life situations or remember lyrics he said when I see current things happening. More than a musician in my eyes
I feel you. I was all in as a fan when Pac dropped Brenda’s got a Baby. A young black male rapper had never made a song about a young black girl in a bad situation. It felt like PAC could see us young black girls too and had sympathy for our struggles as well. I’m 42 now and I STILL quote PAC’s lyrics because they were real.
I grew up listening to this song over and over again.... this song hits hard for us bastard children like me that never had a dad and the only role models where on the streets...
no brother thats not a role model so u did whey better without that kind of person. this is making u only stronger and my be one day when u will have kids u will now how to rise up your kids .
I hear you brother. It was just me and my mom and my younger brother . Pops split and we were poor and I had to grow up in the streets. This is my annual Father’s Day song. Fuck him.
This song turned me into a rapper back in middle school when I first heard it, till this day I can't explain what it does for me. His half brothers verse when he's says " mom had to entertain many men, didn't wanna to do it but it's time to pay rent again/ I'm getting a little old and I'm starting to be a bother, moms can't stand me cause I'm looking like my father" when I first heard this that line broke me, something in me always believe pac help him with that bar cause that line was so raw an real, it's almost like u can imagine that scenario. One of my all-time favorite songs by the legend.
This is the first song by Tupac that I heard on the radio. I was a suburban middle class white kid about 17-18 years old but I just thought it was so unique for the time and it's still unique even today. Legend. I think I went and bought the single for this on cassette and went on to buy numerous Tupac CD's as I grew older. I don't think rap ever recovered from him and Biggie's death. They left a big hole.
42 years old, and even though I"ve had both of my parents together in my life, this one is still a gut punch. 2Pac didn't play when it came to the emotional stuff.
I saw the tail end of this video 30 YEARS AGO and I'd been looking all over for it because I had it mixed up when he was a guest rapper on a track for MC Breed with images of them rapping from jail. I can wholeheartedly relate to these lyrics because absentee fathers are setting their sons up for failure by having to grow up with them like my absent dad did me but I've learned how he was and moving on.
I’m 44 years old and I’ve never had any kind of relationship whatsoever with my dad. We’ve met/spoken about 3 times my entire life. He’s always known how to get in touch with me but he just never has until about a week ago. Says he wants to get to know me. I said ok but I have no idea how to even start. It hurts. I
the coward wasnt there for you 44 years, what he wants is to die knowing he is with good relationship with his son but God sees he is trying to get a ticket to heaven. I cant imagine just living your kid live on his own like that.
Dis made mii think of ma homegirl situation n every young man and young lady dat had 2 live fatherless including my own son cuz I was his dad n mom 4 15 yrs of his life n I'm also dealing wit dis wit ma 11 y/o daughter so I'm being both mommy and Daddy 2 both now dat my son is now 18
I mean people are entitled to feel how they feel. Some people related to inferior artist and thats ok lol.just because he’s the greatest rapper that ever lived doesn’t mean everybody has to feel that way. I personally don’t get it how can you not have Pac at the very least in your top 5?? He did so much in so little time not to mention everything that was released when he unfortunately passed away. Alot of his posthumous music hit hard af 10 years after he left earth which is one of the reasons why he has been able to reach generations after him. 2Pac will always be the 🐐
This is why 2pac will always be better than Biggie,every song he has made Resonates and still feels relevant today. The man was a true story teller and his deliverance was always passionate
Biggie was arguably a better lyricist. But it doesn’t make him the better artist. I got all the respect for both of them. But 2Pac really did something amazing with his short time on earth.
I was a thug fan till i born he died. And never i can't stay with his real words. Rest in peace king. Your history will live till the world ends. Big love Makavel. Thug Life 'till the end of life big king! You did,you was real,you are real but you lost to not came back. Miss u big king!!!!!!!
Hopes in that all children going through hardship and listen to this song don't get the wrong message. It is easy to misinterpret the explosive frustration, confusion, anger, and hardship he's expressing and confessing. The lost years as a child won't be returned and for the broken heart he had to live with throughout time. It won't be quickly mended but with that being so let's not make any more indefinite mistakes like losing the chance in rekindling what is left of time for both father and child. I am a father that fell into the hands of the system of child services. Not all cases are about happy results or of both parents being in the wrong. There are cases like mine that I was given the impression to believe that child services meant well for the kids and for those parent's that are not in the wrong. But I would later learn while believing in obeying the laws of Justice that my belief would be tarnish by getting stripped out of my rights as a father and taken advantage of as an obeying citizen, as well being a victim to their abusive authority, to the point of blindly getting taken for my money. My lawyers with the courts and child services where in cahoots into collecting lawyer fees, court fees, parenting classes fees, and parent consoling fees. To a point where I even needed to take anger management just because I demonstrated revolt against their abuse later in time. At no point did I ever birthed anger or carelessness to my kids. But it was clear corruption does exist from lawyers collecting money from their clients to the courts extending to more court dates, to child services collecting funds from the system to place children into foster homes. Till this day present my kids now that they are adults say to me ”we never understood why we had to go to three different foster homes and we never understood why our case worker would promise us to get us home soon to you dad, but never did.” ”We were always well of with you and we were never asked who we wanted to live with which is something we found out later in life we could of done and chosen at 14. So I understand the hardship in his lyrics but I relate more to the hook in the song. Overall we must make of what we got left to enjoy it on a greater scale because hardship cannot tear us down and out of life, and its enjoyments and success!
❤️❤️❤️ When sperm donor left when you were 3 and you finally talk to him! Realize she did right by leaving him! Left her in the dark she fell apart from a broken heart
First time I saw this music video was on a tape compilation of 2Pac videos made by "MakeItOrBreakIt"... and well, this video was the transition for the second half of the set where the videos were remixed with splices of hardcore black porn scenes in black&white... a fond memory haha. Can't say the themes mixed.
I just realized that It was matulu Shakur that they went to see and it was him they was speaking for at the last verse rip to them both 2023 I finally understand it all
Even If you had Your dad in your. Life. If you dont have a good relationship with him. You can relate to this. I. Can And i had my dad. But we have a awful relationship i haven't spoken to him 11 years. And dont plan to no time soon Btw pac. Met. And kne biological. Dad before he passed Ex panther. BILLY GARLAND
This song is the closest thing I can explain about my childhood I'm a white boy and this is 100% relatable. For those who grew up like this just know that I'm proud of you and who you are your the better version of that man.. ❤❤

this song helped me forgive my father for being absent 21 years . the fathers verse is even more powerful since im a father now with 5 sons
💪💪💪
Congratulations👍♥️
One of Pac most underrated joints. This should be up there with "Dear Mama"
They didn't push this song enough because people feel fathers don't matter but this song hits just like Deat Mama
Ashé ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
“Now that I finally found you, stay the fuck away from me”… most profound artist whoever lived. There will never be another Tupac. RIP
Same feeling and words i had for him when he tried to comeback into my life at 20 years old.
Can’t lie this song makes me tear up everything. Everybody who never had their dad in life needs to hear this
Never knew my dad ever! Peace!
me too
I’ll bury Moms like you left me all alone G…now that I finally found you…. DAMN
Same here, brother. Shit reading your comment brought a tear to my eye. I was literally going to comment the same thing you said.
Such thing as "Parental Alienation".

It was Brenda’s got a baby for me too
That was his intentions to have folks feel the way you do ... Mission accomplished for him ... Salute to Pac
Damn my dude, I didn't think two people could share this particular song that way. That's amazing. I just turned 45 in December 22. Salute King
All these hits and young people still ain't getting it😞
Pac was spitting these Barz at 20-21 years OLD🤴🏾🤴🏾🤴🏾🤴🏾💯💪🏾
We Need Pac Back
I grew up listening to this song over and over again.... this song hits hard for us bastard children like me that never had a dad and the only role models where on the streets...
no brother thats not a role model so u did whey better without that kind of person. this is making u only stronger and my be one day when u will have kids u will now how to rise up your kids .
those of us who had sperm donors not fathers
I hear you brother. It was just me and my mom and my younger brother . Pops split and we were poor and I had to grow up in the streets.
This is my annual Father’s Day song.
Fuck him.
Same
Man I miss Pac, so much talent and realness that today's hip hop lacks.
Whos here listening to this is a legend
Had this on repeat as a teen 42 and still a great song
Facts
30 years later and it still resonates!
Man this song is so fuckin underrated one of my favourite pac song
This dude digs deep into ya soul.
This song turned me into a rapper back in middle school when I first heard it, till this day I can't explain what it does for me.

One of my all-time favorite songs by the legend.
Pac wrote his verse.
A good friend who passed a long time ago loved this Pac song. I believe he loved it because he related to it, having no father around.
The pain in this song 🥲
Pac had so many cuts, that this video was underplayed, but this is vintage pac, and one of many of my favs on his catalog!
My pop's came back in my life after 22 yrs and then disappeared again after 8 yrs kicking it.l dedicate this to him.
This song is so underrated. RIP Tupac
Such a deep song full of so much realness 2pac definitely was in deep thoughts writing this one 🔥
The most poignant profound story teller in history. The best rapper writer artist actor ever.
2023 and U are still truly missed!!!!

I.discovered this track 21.12.22 and im 45 been a o.g 2pac thuggish fan since 1992 this song had stamped it #rip #goat
How u didnt hear this song ? Its from his second album strictly. And u are fan from 92.
The second verse gets me every time.
True ❤️
Yeah Mopreme killed that 2nd verse!
"LOOK at mommas lonely smile.."
Pac wrote that verse.
@@ruben21its still a good verse
Now that I finally found you stay the fuck away from me… damn this song hit as a youngin and still does
This song hits hard 🍻
Genius 2pac from Papa song to Dear Mama
Man.... Rest in Peace.
Underrated Classic
2pac‘s Music is forever! Thank You 2pac ❤️
THE GOAT
Underrated song right here. 🔥
“Now that I finally found you, stay the fuck away from me”
This song should have way more views, before death row day's 2pac 2nd album.
Yep that 2nd album was so hard.
“Strictly for my Nigg@z”
@@shannonallaround9490 it's the album that blew him up
His flow on this is unmatched
I ain't know dat was Vivica Fox!! Damn Pac was doin it live!!
Pac Had Them H*es 💯
Even though my dad was in my life and made me into the man i am now , I still listen to this damn near daily.
I don't know about you all, but this song almost made me shed tears.
To all those who turn they back on me & hurt me, screw you all.
She only loves you, but has to fuck with these other guys!! I felt that in my soul....
Me too!
Growing up this song got me through a lot of shit . Remind me of my pops that I never had
I saw the tail end of this video 30 YEARS AGO and I'd been looking all over for it because I had it mixed up when he was a guest rapper on a track for MC Breed with images of them rapping from jail. I can wholeheartedly relate to these lyrics because absentee fathers are setting their sons up for failure by having to grow up with them like my absent dad did me but I've learned how he was and moving on.
Just hearing this in 2023 wow 30 years later
It stills resonates don’t it?
2PAC FOREVER❤️
So Solid...Salute
How can I forget about this song.
Viv A Foxx in her prime I remember watching this on the box back in the day
Happy Birthday my guy! You got your wish, you’re a Legend!!!
Timeless A Classics 🔥💣👊🎙🔝🙏✌

Same Age yet never knew mine EVER!
Let it all out bro the hurt and unanswered questions then forgive him it's the only way
the coward wasnt there for you 44 years, what he wants is to die knowing he is with good relationship with his son but God sees he is trying to get a ticket to heaven. I cant imagine just living your kid live on his own like that.
Y'all started already ... Just take the rest of y'all time one moment at a time ... Best of luck to you and your dad reuniting 👌👍
Dis made mii think of ma homegirl situation n every young man and young lady dat had 2 live fatherless including my own son cuz I was his dad n mom 4 15 yrs of his life n I'm also dealing wit dis wit ma 11 y/o daughter so I'm being both mommy and Daddy 2 both now dat my son is now 18
Really odd how people can say they don’t like pac
It's called envy
It's because he shines brighter than there favorite rapper even though Pac was so much more than a rapper
I mean people are entitled to feel how they feel. Some people related to inferior artist and thats ok lol.just because he’s the greatest rapper that ever lived doesn’t mean everybody has to feel that way. I personally don’t get it how can you not have Pac at the very least in your top 5?? He did so much in so little time not to mention everything that was released when he unfortunately passed away.

Damn smh str8 heart breaking and heart felt soul music.
Just so everyone knows, That’s MoPreme, PAC’s brother. Charlie Wilson on the hook
1:01 The look in tha boy's face when the dog is taken from him though 😂😂🤣
Still a Gold 🥇
I have played this every Father’s Day for over 30 years. Just found out my scumbag pops passed back in October. Do I retire the yearly listening?
No
@@theathejtheg9834thank you
This is why 2pac will always be better than Biggie,every song he has made Resonates and still feels relevant today.

rip dad 06-09-2022 im so sorry...
Too real
This was my jam growing up even though my dad situation wasn't that drastic.
Before he passed he found his real father and they had a relationship and both was at peace with it
I love this song
Salute to the Comrade..Makaveli 4 life

Underrated song❤
Had to play catch by myself what a sorry sight
The Father's Rap is Potent...
Now it's easy to understand why the Devil wanted him so bad 💯
Absence don't make up role modeling. ⚘

That's Vivica Fox

Last verse is pac speaking from the fathers point of view…goat
Back when Vivica fox was still bad

By the way, if anyone has flick I'm talking about on DVD, message me and I'll pay you for a copy haha.
I just realized that It was matulu Shakur that they went to see and it was him they was speaking for at the last verse rip to them both 2023 I finally understand it all
Once I got offered the chance to meet Mopreme but I got star struck and chickend out. I cant get over me pussying out.
Even If you had Your dad in your. Life. If you dont have a good relationship with him. You can relate to this. I. Can And i had my dad. But we have a awful relationship i haven't spoken to him 11 years. And dont plan to no time soon
Btw pac. Met. And kne biological. Dad before he passed

Should be right up there with Dear Mama
Goat thug life never dies
2 Pac is MY LIFE but I've never seen this. WTF?
Impostor you are.
@@DLL8252 right
Have u heard things are changing by 2pac??
How old ru?
@Anthony Zepeda Things are changing is a postmortem remake of Words to my first born from Until the end of time.
❤❤❤
The feature is morpheme
"How can I be a man if there's no role model/ striving to save my soul I stay cold drinking a 40 bottle!!!"
I wonder if Billy Garland heard this one yet??.......
I Wonder how afeni felt when she heard this.
2023 Deadly!!!
This song is the closest thing I can explain about my childhood I'm a white boy and this is 100% relatable. For those who grew up like this just know that I'm proud of you and who you are your the better version of that man.. ❤❤
maaan! i used to think this song was wack, now i cant get enough of it.....
I reminsce Papaz song about how my dad went West and mum East. Dad abandoned the entire family not paying the fees.
This was all the lie he was told by his mom. His dad was always available. Mom's be careful what you tell kids simply because you hate their dad
2 Pac dad?
The video is 13 years old and has only little below 40k views....
This is album is one of the best ever written.
