Keep Ya Head Upby: Tupac Shakur
Some say the blacker the berry the sweeter the juiceI say the
darker the flesh then the deeper the rootsI give a holla to my
sistas on welfare Tupac cares, and dont nobody else care
And uh I know they like to beat you down a lotwhen you come
around the block brothas clown a lot But please dont cry , dry your
eyes never let upForgive but dont forget girl keep your head up
And when he tells you you aint nothing dont believe him And if
he cant learn to love you you should leave himcause sista you dont
need himAnd I aint trying to gas you up , I just call em how I see
emYou know what makes me unhappy When brothas make babies, and
leave a young mother to be a pappy And since we all came from a
womanGot our name from a woman and our game from a woman
I wonder why we take from our womenWhy we rape our women, do we
hate our women?I think it's time to kill for our womenTime to heal
our women, be real to our womenAnd if we don't we'll have a race of
babiesThat will hate the ladies, that make the babiesAnd since a
man can't make oneHe has no right to tell a woman when and where to
create oneSo will the real men get upI know you're fed up ladies,
but keep your head up
Keep ya head up, oooo child things are gonna get easierooooo
child things are gonna get brighter [2x]
Aiyyo, I remember Marvin Gaye, used to sing to meHe had me
feeling like black was the thing to beAnd suddenly the ghetto
didn't seem so toughAnd though we had it rough, we always had
enough
I huffed and puffed about my curfew and broke the rulesRan with
the local crew, and had a smoke or twoAnd I realize momma really
paid the priceShe nearly gave her life, to raise me rightAnd all I
had to give her was my pipe dreamOf how I'd rock the mic, and make
it to the bright screenI'm tryin to make a dollar out of fifteen
centsIt's hard to be legit and still pay the rent
And in the end it seems I'm heading for the penI try and find my
friends, but they're blowin in the windLast night my buddy lost his
whole familyIt's gonna take the man in me to conquer this
insanity
It seems the rain will never let upI try to keep my head up, and
still keep from getting wet upYou know it's funny when it rains it
poursThey got money for wars, but can't feed the poorSay there
ain't no hope for the youth and the truth isit ain't no hope for
the futureAnd then they wonder why we crazyI blame my mother, for
turning my brother into a crack baby
We ain't meant to survive, cause it's a setupAnd even though
you're fed upHuh, ya got to keep your head up
And uhTo all the ladies havin babies on they ownI know it's kind
of rough and you're feelin all aloneDaddy's long gone and he left
you by ya lonesomeThank the Lord for my kids, even if nobody else
want emCause I think we can make it, in fact, I'm sureAnd if you
fall, stand tall and comeback for moreCause ain't nothin worse than
when your sonwants to know why his daddy don't love him no mo'
You can't complain you was dealt thishell of a hand without a
man, feelin helplessBecause there's too many things for you to deal
withDying inside, but outside you're looking fearlessWhile tears,
is rollin down your cheeksYa steady hopin things don't all down
this weekCause if it did, you couldn't take it, and don't blame meI
was given this world I didn't make it
