歌曲歌詞
Little something for my godson Elijah
And a little girl named Corinne
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 and don't nobody else care
And uhh
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
You ain't nutting don't believe him
And if he can't learn to love you
You should leave him
Cause sista you don't need him
And I ain't trying 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
And 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 to kill for our women
Time to heal our women
Be real to our women
And if we don't will 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 and where to create one
So will the real men get up
I know you're fed up ladies
Keep ya head up
Oooo child things are gonna get easier
Keep ya head up
Ooooo child things are gonna get brighter
Keep ya head up
Oooo child things are gonna get easier
Keep ya head up
Ooooo child things are gonna get brighter
Aiyyo I remember Marving Gaye
Used to sing ta me
He had me feeling like black was the 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 my 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 her life
To raise me right
And all I had to give her was my pipe dream
Of how I'd rock the mic
And make it to tha bright screen
I'm trying to make a dollar
Out of fifteen cents
It's hard to be legit and still pay tha rent
And in the end it seems
I'm heading for the pen
I try and find my friends
But they're blowing in the wind
Last night my buddy lost his whole family
It's gonna take the man in me
To conquer this insanity
It seems the rain'll never let up
I try to keep my head up
And still keep from getting 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 the future
And then they wonder why we crazy
I blame my mother
Or 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
Keep ya head up
Oooo child things are gonna get easier
Keep ya head up
Ooooo child things are gonna get brighter
Keep ya head up
Oooo child things are gonna get easier
Keep ya head up
Ooooo child things are gonna get brighter
And uhh
To all the ladies having babies on they own
I know it's kinda rough
And you're feeling 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
N fact I'm sure
And if you fall
Stand tall and comeback for more
Cause ain't nutting 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
Feeling helpless
Because there's too many things
For you to deal with
Dying inside
But outside you're looking fearless
While tears is rolling down your cheeks
Ya steady hoping 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 having the world on his shoulders
While the rich kids is driving Benz
I'm still trying to hold on to
My surviving friends
And it's crazy it seems it'll never let up but
Please you got to keep your head up
