Wasn't Unfaithful a big hit too? All my friends knew it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It references a poem from the booklet that she wrote but the poem doesn't make any sense If someone could explain this, including the "that's mama's gun" line, that would be great What's the title, Mama's Gun, mean? Most of the time, you don't even know your mamma have a gun, you know? And when she pulls it out, and shows it to you, it's something serious. And the way life is to me right now, we're at a very detrimental time. Our sons and daughters are going to need something to take with them for protection. So they can put my album in they holster, or on they lap, or on they seat. It would be a better thing to have, you know? So that's the explanation. The listener is made to feel as if they stumbled onto the open diary of a woman who has poured her soul into the pages so everything she says is in her point of view; and although it's invasive the album was crafted in that sort of way because the topics discussed are rather confessional; and who's the first person you go to when you need advice or want to be nurtured? A warrior is typically independent and has a “every man for itself" philosophy and a mother tries their best to protect their children in any circumstance so when she does “let her focus change" it is that side of her instead of the warrior persona she's immersed herself into. Mama’s Gun offers a more pointed, sustained, and grounded statement about what it means to get tired of waiting out and wading through the wretchedness of urban blight, the perpetual threat of police brutality and lethal force, the baggage from bad relationships and more.

But the cover with T.S. 1989 always made me think of the Tiananmen Square 1989 protests. Which is oftentimes abbreviated to T.S. 1989. ⚯͛ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
