Keep Ya Head Up - 2Pac (图派克·阿玛鲁·夏库尔)[00:00:00]
Some say tha blacker tha berry[00:00:02]
Tha sweeter tha juice[00:00:04]
I say tha darker tha flesh and tha deeper tha roots[00:00:13]
I give a hollar to my sisters on welfare[00:00:16]
Tupac cares but don't nobody else care[00:00:19]
I know they like ta beat ya down a lot[00:00:23]
And when ya come around tha block brothers clown a lot[00:00:26]
But please don't cry dry ya eyes[00:00:29]
Never let up[00:00:30]
Forgive but don't forget girl keep ya head up[00:00:32]
And when he tells you you ain't nothin[00:00:34]
Don't believe him[00:00:37]
And if he can't learn ta love ya you should leave him[00:00:38]
Cuz sister you don't need him[00:00:41]
I ain't tryin ta gash up but I just callem how I see em[00:00:44]
Ya know what makes me unhappy[00:00:49]
When brothers make babies[00:00:52]
And leave a young mother ta be a pappy[00:00:54]
And since we all came from a woman[00:00:57]
Got our name from a woman[00:00:58]
And out game from a woman[00:00:59]
I wonder why we take from our women[00:01:01]
Why we rape our women[00:01:03]
Do we hate our women [00:01:04]
I think it's time ta kill for our women[00:01:05]
Time ta heal our women[00:01:07]
Be real to our women[00:01:08]
And if we don't[00:01:09]
Well have a race of babies[00:01:09]
That hate tha ladies that make tha babies[00:01:11]
And since a man can't make one[00:01:12]
He has no right ta tell a woman when and where ta create one[00:01:15]
So will tha real men get up[00:01:19]
I know your fed up ladies[00:01:21]
But keep ya head up[00:01:24]
Chorus[00:01:25]
Eeewww child things are gonna get easier[00:01:26]
Eeewww child things are gonna get brighter[00:01:29]
Eeewww child things are gonna get easier[00:01:35]
Eeewww child things are gonna get brighter[00:01:41]
I remember marvin gay usta sing ta me[00:01:46]
He had me feelin like black was tha thing ta be[00:01:49]
And suddenly tha ghetto didn't seem so tuff[00:01:52]
I thought we had it rough we always had enough[00:01:55]
I often huffed and puffed about my curfew and broke tha rules[00:01:57]
Ran with tha local crew and had a smoke or two[00:02:00]
And realize momma really paid tha price[00:02:03]
She nearly gave her life ta raise me right[00:02:05]
And all I had ta give her was my pipe dreams[00:02:09]
Of how I'd rock tha mic and make it to tha big screen[00:02:12]
I'm tryin ta make a dollar out of fifteen cents[00:02:15]
Its hard ta be legit and still pay tha rent[00:02:17]
And in tha end it seems I'm headin for tha penn[00:02:20]
I try and find my friends but they're blowin in tha wind[00:02:23]
Last night my buddy lost his whole family[00:02:26]
Its gonna take tha man in me[00:02:28]
Ta conquer this insanity[00:02:30]
It seems tha rain will never let up[00:02:31]
I try ta keep my head up and still keep from getting wet up[00:02:33]
You know it's funny when it rains it pours[00:02:37]
They got money for wars but can't feed tha poor[00:02:39]
Sad there ain't no hope for tha youth and tha truth is[00:02:42]
There ain't no hope for tha future[00:02:45]
And then they wonder why we crazy[00:02:48]
I blame my mother for turning my brother into a crack baby[00:02:50]
We ain't meant ta survive cause it's a setup[00:02:54]
And even though ya fed up[00:02:56]
Ya got ta keep ya head up[00:02:58]
