Keep Ya Head Up 2Pac Little something for my god song Elija and a little girl named Koreem Some say tha Blacker tha berry Tha sweeter tha juice I say,tha darker tha flesh and tha deeper tha roots I give a hollar to my sisters on welfare Tupac cares,but don't nobody else care I know they like ta beat ya down alot And when ya come around tha block brothers clown alot But please don't cry,dry ya eyes Never let up Forgive but don't forget girl keep ya head up And when he tells you you ain't nothin Don't believe him And if he can't learn ta love ya,you should leave him Cuz sister you don't need him I ain't tryin ta gash up,but I just callem how I see'em Ya know what makes me unhappy? When brothers make babies And leave a young mother ta be a papy And since we all came from a woman Got our name from a woman And got our game from a woman I wonder why we take from our women Why we rape our women Do we hate our women? I think it's time ta kill for our women Time ta heal our women Be realy to our women And if we don't We'll have a race of babies That hate tha ladies that make tha babies And since a man can't make one He has no right ta tell woman when and where ta create one So will tha real men get up I know your fed up ladies But keep ya head up Chorus: Eeewww child things are gonna get easier Eeewww child things are gonna get brighter Eeewww child things are gonna get easier Eeewww childs things are gonna get brighter I remember Marvin Gay,usta sing ta me He had me feelin like black was tha thing ta be And suddenly tha ghetto didn't seem so tuff I thought we had it rough,we always had enough I often huffed and puffed about my curfew and broke tha rules Ran with tha local crew and had a smoke or two And realize momma really paid tha price She nearly gave her life,ta raise me right And all I had ta give her was my pipe dreams Of how I'd rock tha mic and make it to tha big screen I'm tryin ta make a dollar out of fifteen cents It's hard ta be legit and still pay tha rent And in tha end it seems I'm headin for tha peen I try and find my friends,but they blowin in tha wind Lastnight my buddy lost his whole family It's gonna take tha man in me Ta conquer this insanity It seems tha rain will never let up I try ta Keep My Head Up and still keep from getting wet You know it's funny when it rains it pours They got money for wars,but can't feed the poor Sad there ain't no hope for tha youth and tha truth is There 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 ta survive,cause it's a setup And eventhough ya fed up Ya got ta Keep Ya Head Up Chorus: Eeewww child things are gonna get easier Eeewww child things are gonna get brighter Eeewww child things are gonna get easier Eeewww child things are gonna get brighter And ah...T all tha ladies having nanies on they own I know it's kinda ruff and ya feeling all alone Daddies long gone and he left ya by your loneseome Thank tha lord for my kids even if nobody else wants them Cause I think we can make it,in fact,for sure And if we all fall Stand tall and comeback for more Cause there ain't nothin worse Than when your son wants ta know why his daddy don't love him no more Ya can't complain you was dealt this Helluva hand without a man,feeling helpless Because there's too many things for you ta deal with Dying inside,but outside your looking fearless While tears is rollin down your cheeks Ya steady hopen things don't fall this week Cause if they did,ya couldn't take it And don't blame me I was given this world I didn't make it And now my sons getten older and older and cold >From havin tha world on his shoulders While tha rich kids are drivin Benzes I'm still tryin ta hold on to my survivin friends And it's crazy,it seems it'll never let up,but Please Ya got ta Keep Ya Head Up From: "If you lived here, you'd be home now."
