Reply to Mark "Mrs Jackson = America" | Reviewer: Bryan | 12/14/12

Interesting perspective but the song is about a failed relationship that resulted in a chid raised in a broken home. Mrs. Jackson is his baby mama's mama, aka mother in law. The song is very literal and you are reading into more than you need to.

For example, you say, "And let her know her grandchild is a baby, and not a paycheck = The future generation is being sold, society is made up of human beings not commodities and walking votes. - Private school, daycare shit, medical bills, I pay that = Americans pay taxes loyally, even under hardship and significant financial pressure"

He is saying he will take financial responsibility for the child but he doesn't think it's his responsibility to cover her (baby mama's) bills too.

Truth about Ms Jackson | Reviewer: Marc | 6/12/12

These Lyrics are about America (Ms. Jackson = America)

I'm sorry Ms. Jackson = I'm sorry America, but

I am for real = Expressing the regret of going against mainstream views and its repercussions

Never meant to make your daughter cry = We

I apologize a trillion times = Sarcastic and solemn description of the desperation of this realization, insincere but melancholy at the same time

My baby's drama mama, don't like me = This is not referring to the female lover character, but the mother/America, baby = my lover; drama mama = America, America the drama queen doesn't like competition, she wants to protect her interests, see Pink Floyd - Mother

She need to get a, piece of the american pie and take her bite out = America as a society is vengeful, and as a society we consume without consideration

That's my house, I'll disconnect the cable and turn the lights out = We were all born essentially taught to believe in the 'American Dream' but those who are awake will disconnect from the propaganda and stop funding the system

She be doin things like havin them boys come from her neighborhood to the studio tryin to fight me = America has become a police state, quietly silencing and moving against free speech

And let her know her grandchild is a baby, and not a paycheck = The future generation is being sold, society is made up of human beings not commodities and walking votes

Private school, daycare shit, medical bills, I pay that = Americans pay taxes loyally, even under hardship and significant financial pressure

I love your mom and everything, but see I ain't the one who laid down = Most folks love America, but most Americans did nothing to influence the system, the system is doing its own thing


She wanna rib you up to start a custody war, my lawyers stay down = American system of politics seeks to confuse people about "who is American", lawyers are serving the system above all, the game is rigged

She never got a chance
to hear my side of the story we was divided = America ignores her critics by dividing the people through useless "democracy"

There is more to this interpretation but find out the rest on your own from here
