Keep Ya Head Up (Explicit)

Some say the darker

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

But cares don't

Nobody else care

I know they like to

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 but don't forget

Girl keep head up

And when he tells you

You ain't nothin'

Don't believe him

And if he can't learn

To love you

You should leave him

'Cause sister you

Don't need him

And I ain't tryin'

To gas you up

I just call 'it how

I see 'it

You know what makes

Me unhappy

When brothers

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

Heal our women

Be real to our women

'Cause 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

Things are gonna

Get easier

Child things'll

Get brighter

Keep your head up

Things are gonna

Get easier

Child things'll

Get brighter

Keep your head up
