2Pac - Keep Ya Head Up слова песни
Verse One:
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 nuttin 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 tryin to gas ya up, I just call em how I see em
You know it makes me unhappy (what`s that)
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 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 and where to create one
So will the real men get up
I know you`re fed up ladies, but keep your head up
Chorus
Keep ya head up, oooo child things are gonna get easier
ooooo child things are gonna get brighter (2x)
Verse Two:
Aiyyo, 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 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 ta give her was my pipe dream
Of how I`d rock the mic, and make it 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 the end it seems I`m headin for tha pen
I try and 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 seems tha rain`ll never let up
I 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, cause it`s a setup
And even though you`re fed up
Huh, ya got to keep your head up
Chorus
Verse Three:
And uhh
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 kno 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 there`s too many things for you to deal with
Dying inside, but outside you`re looking fearless
While 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 the world on his shoulders
While the rich kids is drivin Benz
I`m still tryin to hold on to my survivin friends
And it`s crazy, it seems it`ll never let up, but
please... you got to keep your head up
