Nov 18, 2015 What I don't get is "I still love you from afar". Sure she did some bad things, but if he understands it's because she's ill and not right in her mind, why not visit her, hug her for real, let go of the past.
Nov 18, 2015 your being way too analytical for something that describe raw emotion...and being completely ignorant about a part that is tangibly wrong like COMC part
Nov 18, 2015 i thought about including that line and i wrote under it "this makes the entire song pointless if you think about it" but decided to remove it
Nov 18, 2015 maybe em is, lol i dont listen to radio, aside from maybe mojo in the morning for prank calls and beats radio apple music is music atm
Nov 18, 2015 i may very well be, but you yourself agree that the song was a waste as a whole, as stated in OP, and i just so happen to 100% agree.. regardless of why
Nov 18, 2015 Whatever she did, including the lawsuit, is not something you can't eventually forgive, given the circumstances. She'll die one day, and then he'll feel like that line from Difficult "I never got to say I love you as much as I wanted but I do, I say it now when you can't hear me, what good does it do me now" Just go hug your d--- mother, you're both too old for grudges
Nov 18, 2015 While we're on the subject, I always hated how he'd do Cleaning Out My Closet live and get the crowd to yell "f--- YOU MOM". No, f--- you. He actually did it not too long before MMLP2, so he must have had a sudden change of heart.
Nov 18, 2015 true as f--- what a childish c---- to not just f---ing go love your mother, you only get one, its not like you can just spawn a new mom, she brought you into the world
Nov 18, 2015 I think the "cuz you're my ma" is okay but that chemical warfare like bothered me a lot. Very out of place. Song has good moments though. I like the "one thing I never asked was where the f--- my dead beat dad was, f--- it I guess he had trouble keeping up with every address" part Not a fan of the plane crash thing either
Nov 18, 2015 Then again, she might really be unbearable to be around with. She might be like someone with AIDS having a gushing nose bleed. Not their fault, but you don't want to be around them.
Nov 18, 2015 yea but even then dude, even then. there was a time of my life where my mother was belligerent drunk and i made her hug me one time, forced it, and it changed alot of s---, s--- happens, people go through s---, people have mental issues, chemical imbalances, theyre still people... and this is not a stranger, its his mother, i see no excuse.
Nov 18, 2015 True. That whole part when they're going to get hamburgers and she stops by, they hugged and then she left. Unless she wanted to leave on her own, the right thing to do would be take her with you, hang out, get hamburgers together. And he's mad he didn't get the chance to thank her for being his mom and dad too. Like she suddenly materialized into this dimension and now she's gone again. He knows where she lives, nothing stopping him from visiting her and having a chat. That's if she's actually capable of having a normal conversation. We don't know the full story.
Nov 18, 2015 I understand why people are questioning the 'I love you because youre my ma' lines. He should have executed that better maybe. But it still strongly brings out the message that there will always be unconditional love between a parent and their child.
Nov 18, 2015 This is where the "cause you're my 'ma" comes from @Koolo, you have a problem with that line too, maybe this puts it into perspective.
Nov 18, 2015 It's not a lazy line, it's supposed to say just the fact she's his mother deserves his love. What was he supposed to say "You're still beautiful to me cause you took me to the park at the age of 5"
