Pratique du Shadowing: 2Pac - Dear Mama - Apprendre l'anglais à l'oral avec la vidéo

When I was pregnant in jail, I thought I was gonna have a baby and the baby would never be with me, but I was acquitted a month and three days before Tupac was born.

I was real happy because I had a son.

When I was young, me and my mama had beef.

Seventeen years old, kicked out on the streets.

Though back at the time, I never thought I'd see her face.

Ain't a woman alive that could take my mama's place.

I'm spending from school, I'm scared to go home.

I was a fool with the big boys breaking all the rules.

I said cheers with my baby sister, over the years we was bored and other little kids And even though we had different daddies,

the same drama when things went wrong we blamed Mama, I reminisce on the stress I caused,

it was hell, hugging on my mama from a jail cell And who thinkin' elementary, hey, I see the penitentiary One day,

runnin' from the police, that's right Mama cashed me, put a whooping to my backside And even as a crack fiend,

mama You always was a black queen, mama I finally understand, for a woman it ain't easy Trying to raise a man

You always was committed A poor single mother on welfare Tell me how you did it, there's no way I can pay you back

But the plan is to show you that I understand You all appreciate it Sweetie, don't you know we love you,

sweetie Dear mama Please know what I'm above you, sweetie

Sweetie, don't you know we love you Now ain't nobody tell

us it was fair No love for my daddy cause the coward wasn't there He passed away

and I didn't cry Cause my anger wouldn't let me feel for a stranger They say I'm wrong

and I'm heartless But all along I was looking for a father, he was gone I hung around with the thugs,

and even though they sold drugs They showed a young brother love I moved off, started really hanging I needed money of my own,

so I started slanging I ain't guilty cause even though I

sell rocks It feels good putting money in your mailbox I

love paying rent with the rents too I hope you got the diamond necklace

that I sent to you Cause when I was low, you was dead for me You never left me alone

because you cared for me

And I can see you coming home after work late You're in the kitchen trying to fix us a hot plate

You're just working with the scraps you was giving And mama made miracles every Thanksgiving But now the road got rough,

you're alone Trying to raise two bad kids on your own

And there's no way I could pay you back

But my plan is to show you that I understand You all appreciate me Don't you know we love you,

sweetie Please know what I'm above you,

sweetie Don't you know we love you, sweetie Oh, I say liquor

and I reminisce Cause through the drama I can always depend on my mama

And when it seems that I'm hopeless You say the words that can get me back in focus

When I was sick as a little kid To keep me happy, there's no limit to the things you did

And all my childhood memories I'm full of all the sweet things you did for me

And even though I act crazy I gotta thank the Lord

that you made me There are no words that can express how I feel You never kept a secret, always stayed real And I appreciate how you raised me

And all the extra love

that you gave me I wish I could take the pain away If you can make it through the night,

there's a brighter day Everything will be alright if you hold on It's a struggle every day, gotta roll on And there's no way I can pay you back

But my plan is to show you that I understand You all appreciate it Don't you know we love you,

sweetie Dear mama Place no one above you,

sweetie Made it, don't you know when I'm just made it

Made it, made it

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
