The Game shares a song in dedication to Afeni Shakur and his own mother.

Like many others, The Game is mourning the loss of Afeni Shakur, and in tribute to the activist and mother to Tupac, he's released a track going out to mothers everywhere. "Mama" continues in the tradition of classic mom rap songs such as Kanye West's "Hey Mama," and of course, Tupac's "Hey Mama".

In the final moments of the song, he sends out thoughts to his mother, Lynette Marie Baker, as well as Afeni. "I know you're happy you're with Pac now. I know he alright. He got his mama," letting the song ride out to a clip of "Dear Mama". 

Quotable Lyrics:
2Pac wouldn't been shit without his mama
Obama wouldn't be shit without his mama and his baby mama
See my mama set me down when I was 12
She told me I was heaven while I always gave her hell
No role models, daddy in and out of jail
Caught up in the system where he trap us black males
Sipping Henny as the world turn, close my eyes, see my mama face
I know she always kept me straight just like them graces
And even still, you gon' always will my black queen mama
Cause you never been no crack fiend mama
