2Pac - Keep Ya Head Up

Some say the blacker the berry
the sweeter the juice
I say the darker the flesh
then the deeper the roots
I give a holler to my sisters
on welfare Tupac cares
if don't nobody else care
I know they like to beat ya
down a lot
When you come around the block
brothas 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 ain't
nuttin don't believe him
And if he can't learn to
love you you shold leave him
Cause sista you don't need him
And I ain't tryin to gas ya up
I just call em how I see em
You know it makes me unhappy
When brothas make babies
and leave a young
mother to be a pappy
And since we all came from a
woman Got our name from a
woman an our game from a woman
I wonder why we take from our
woman Why we rape 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 tell a woman
when and where to create one
So will the real men get up
I know you're fed up ladies
but keep your head up
Keep ya head up
child things gonna get easier
child thing are get brighter
child things gonna get easier
child thing are get brighter
I remember Marvin Gaye
used to sing ta me
He had me feelin like black
was tha thing to be
And suddenly tha ghetto didn't
seem so tough
And though we had it rough
we always had enough
I huffed and puffed about ma
curfew and broke the rules
Ran with the local crew
and had a smoke or two
And I realize momma really
paid the price
She nearly gave ger life
to raise me right
And all had ta
give her was my pipe dream
Of how I'd rock the mic
and make to tha bright screen
I'm tryin to make a
dollar out of fifteen cents
It's hard to be legit and
still pay tha rent And in
end it seems I'm
headin for tha pen I try
find my friends but they're
blowin in the wind
Last night my buddy
lost his whole family
It's gonna take the man in
me to conquer this insanity
It's seems tha rain'll
never let up
but try to keep my head up
and still keep from
gettin wet up
you know it's funny when it
rains it pours They got
money for wars but can't
feed the poor
Say there ain't no hope
for the youth and the truth
is it ain't no
hope for tha future
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
cauce it's a setup
And even though you're fed up
to keep your head up
child things gonna get easier
to keep your head up
child thing are get brighter
to keep your head up
child things gonna get easier
to keep your head up
child thing are get brighter
To all the ladies havin
babies on they own
I know it's kinda rough
and you're feelin all alone
Daddy's long gone and he
left you by ya lonesome
Thank the Lord for my kids
even if nobody else want em
Cause I think we can make it
in fact I'm sure
And if you fall stand
tall and comeback for more
Cause ain't nuttin worse than
when your son wants to
know why his daddy don't
love him no mo
You can't complain you
was dealt this
hell of a hand without a man
feelin helpless
Because too many things
for you to deal with
Dying inside but outside
you're looking fealess
While da tears
is rollin down your cheeks
Ya steady hopin things don't
all down this week
Cause if it did you couldn't
take it and don't blame me
I was given this world
I didn't make it
And now my son's getten
older and older and cold
From havin aworld don't show
What a it's kiz on drivin Benz
I'm still tryin to hold on
to survivin my friends
And it's crazy
it seems it'll never let up
but please
you got to keep your head up
