歌词
Yeah
This song was such a helluva song
That I felt it was necessary
That I bring it back
And I just kinda like, came along with this song
It's your boy Lyfe Jennings
Or rather, yo, yo-yo-yo
Your boy 2Pac, man
Check it out
Some say the darker the berry, the sweeter the juice
I say the darker the flesh, then the deeper the roots
Holler for my sisters on welfare
Lyfe cares as though nobody else cares, no
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, time to build for our women
We will have a race of babies
That will hate the ladies that made the babies
Will the real men get up?
Ladies, I know you're fed up, but you gotta hold up
Keep your head up, ooh, child
Things are gonna get easier
Oh, hold on, faith in
Keep your head up, ooh, child
Things are gonna get easier
All you gotta do is believe
I remember Marvin Gaye used to sing to me
Had me feeling like black was the thang to be
Suddenly, the ghetto didn't seem so tough
Though we had it rough, always had enough
Realized mama really paid the price
And nearly gave her life to raise me right, yeah
And though you were a crack fiend, mama
You always was a black queen, mama
Ooh, child of mine
To all the ladies having babies on their own
I know it's kinda rough and you're feeling alone
But better days are coming, hold on
Keep your head up, ooh, child
Things are gonna get easier
Oh, hold on, faith in
Keep your head up, ooh, child
Things are gonna get easier
All you gotta do is believe
When he tells you you ain't nothing, don't believe him
And if he can't learn to love you, you should leave him
'Cause sisters, you don't need 'em
And I ain't tryna gas you up, I just call 'em like I see 'em
You know what makes me unhappy? (What's that?)
When brothers make babies and leave a young mama being pappy
And since we all came from a woman
Got a name from a woman, and our game from a woman
I know they beat you down a lot
When you come around the block, brothers clown a lot
But please don't cry, dry your eyes, never let up
Forgive and don't forget, and girl, keep your head up, ooh, child
(Thank you, L.A., we owe you for this one, L.A.)
Keep your head up, ooh, child
Things are gonna get easier
Oh, hold on, faith in
Keep your head up, ooh, child
Things are gonna get easier
All you gotta do is believe
Keep your head up
Keep your head up, ooh
Keep your head up, keep your head up
Keep your head up
Keep your head up, keep your head up
This is all I gotta say, is keep your head up
