Keep Ya Head Up

Something for my gods

And he lies and little girls ain't correct

Some say the black of the bet

The sweet of the juice I save

The dark of the flesh then the deep of the roots

I give my holla to my sisters on welfare

Two pop kids if don't nobody else care

And uh I know they

To beat you down a lot

When you come around the block

Brothers clown a lot but please don't cry dry your eyes

Never let up forgive

But don't forget girl keep your head up

And when he tells you you ain't nothing

Don't believe him

And if you can't learn to love you you should leave him

Cause sister you don't need and I ain't tryna gas up

I just call them how I see

You know what makes you

Where brothers make bakers

And leave a young mother to be a patch

And since we all came from a woman

Got our name from a woman

And I came from a woman

I wonder why we take from our women

While we ** our women

Do we hate our women

I think it's time to kill for our women

Time to heal our women

Be real to our women

And if we don't we'll have a race of babies

That will hate the ladies that make the babies

And since a man can't make one

He has no right to tell a woman

When it went to create one

So will the real men get up

I know you fed up lately

But keep your head up ooh child

Things are gonna get easier

Keep your head up ooh child

Things will get brighter

Keep your head up ooh child

Things are gonna get easier

Keep your head up ooh child

Things will get brighter

Hey yo I remember marvin gaye used to sing to me

He had me feeling like black was the thing to be

And suddenly the ghetto didn't seem so tough

And though we had it rough we always hadenough

I have to bump about my curfew and broke the rules

Run with the local crew and had a smoke or two

I realized mama really paid the price

She nearly gave her life to raise me right

And all II had to give her what's my pipe drink

Now how I rock the mic and make it to the right screen

I'm trying to make a dollar out of fifteen six

It's hard to be legit and still pay a rent

And in the end it seems I'm heading for the pen

I try to find my friends but they blowing in the wind

Last nightmy body lost his whole family

It's gonna take the man in me to conquer this insanity

It seems the rain will never let up

I try to keep my head up

And still keep them getting wetter

You know it's funny when it rains it pours

They got money for wars but can't feed the poor

Said it ain't no hope for the youth

And the truth is it ain't no hope for the few

And then they wonder why we crazy

I blame my mother for turning my brother into a crack

Baby we ain't meant to survive cause it's a setup and

Even though you're fed up

Give me your letter

Which I know you're gonna make it easy

Give me your letter which out things will get brighter

Give me your better ooh child things are gonna get easy

Give me your better ooh child things will get brighter

To all the ladies having babies on their own

I know it's kinda rough and you're feeling all alone

Daddy's long gone and he left you by your lonesome

Thank the lord for my kids even if nobody else

Cause I think we can make it in fact I'm sure

And if you fall stand tall or come back for more

Cause ain't nothing worse

Than when your son wants to know

Wise daddy don't love him no more

You can't complain you was dealt this hell of a hand

Without a man feeling helpless

Because there's too many things for you to deal with

Dying inside but outside you're looking fearless

Why the tears is rolling down your cheek is steady

Hoping things don't all fall this week

Cause if it did you couldn't take it and don't blame me

I was giving this worldI didn't make it

And now my son's getting older and older

Cold from having the world on his shoulders

While the rich kids are driving benz

And still trying to hold on to surviving friends

And it's crazy it seems they'll never let her

But please you gotta keep your head up
