Lyrics: Lyfe Jennings. The Phoenix. Keep Ya Head Up.

Intro:

Yea this song was such hell of a song that i felt it was nessesary that i bring it back
And i just kinda like came along with the song;
Here yo boy lyfe Jennings or your boy 2pac

Verse 1

Some say the darker the berry the sweeter the juice;
i say darker the flesh the deeper then the roots;
holler fo my sisters on welfare
Lyfe cares, if don't nobody else care
I wonder why we take from women
why rape our women
Do we hate our women
I think its time we kill for our women time to heal our women
be real to our women
we will have race of babies that will hate the ladies that make the babies,
will the real men get up
ladies i know you fed up

Chorus:(2x)

Keep ya head up, oooo child things are gonna get easier
oooo hold on

Verse 2

I remember Marvin Gaye, used to sing ta me
He had me feelin like black was tha thing to be
suddenly tha ghetto didn't seem so tough
though we had it rough, always had enough
And I realize momma really paid the price
She nearly gave her life, to raise me right
And though you were a CRACK FINN momma you always was a BLACK QUEEN momma

(Hook one)

OOOOOOOO Child of mine
to all the ladies having babies on thier own i know its kionda rough and you feelin alone better days are coming along
HOOOLD ON

(Chorus 2x):

Keep ya head up, oooo child things are gonna get easier
oooo hold on

Verse 3 (kids)

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 know he beat cha down alot when you come around the block
brothas clown alot
but please dont cry
dry ya eye dont let em
learn to forgive and forget you dont need him

Chorus 2x

Keep ya head up, oooo child things are gonna get easier
oooo hold on

(out)Til fade

Keep yo head up
