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.' Michael Eric Dyson, author of Holler If You Hear Me: Searching for Tupac Shakur, writes that this line speaks to Shakur's maturity: 'It allows him to value his mother's love even as he names her affliction. In addition, Shakur recorded the tune as he knew he was not the only person to grow up with a parent struggling with drug addiction. In this sense, he 'connects himself to black radical history through his mother's affiliation with the Black Panthers,' and explains that his music is autobiographical, illustrating that 2Pac (the stage performer) and Tupac Shakur (the person) are one and the same.

Mickey Hess, author of Is Hip Hop Dead?: The Past, Present, and Future of America's Most Wanted Music, asserts that his mother's appearance in Shakur's music works is designed to establish credibility with listeners. Statistics show that a disproportionate number of African-American households are headed by single mothers, and Hess asserts that their bravery and role in their children's lives leads to their status as an 'eternal symbol of love' in their offspring's eyes.
