[00:00.60]Little something for my godson Elijah
[00:02.40]And a little girl named Corin
[00:10.70]Some say the blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice
[00:13.60]I say the darker the flesh then the deeper the roots
[00:16.30]I give a holla to my sisters on welfare
[00:18.80]2Pac cares if don't nobody else care
[00:21.90]And I know they like to beat you down a lot
[00:24.70]When you come around the block, brothers clown a lot
[00:27.40]But please don't cry, dry your eyes, never let up
[00:30.60]Forgive, but don't forget, girl, keep your head up
[00:33.70]And when he tells you you ain't nothing, don't believe him
[00:36.50]And if he can't learn to love you, you should leave him
[00:39.60]'Cause, sister, you don't need him
[00:41.30]And I ain't trying to gas ya up, I just call 'em how I see 'em
[00:44.90]You know what makes me unhappy?
[00:46.70]When brothers make babies and leave a young mother to be a pappy
[00:50.80]And since we all came from a woman
[00:52.70]Got our name from a woman and our game from a woman
[00:56.40]I wonder why we take from our women
[00:58.20]Why we rape our women, do we hate our women?
[01:02.00]I think it's time to kill for our women
[01:03.80]Time to heal our women, be real to our women
[01:07.10]And if we don't we'll have a race of babies
[01:09.40]That will hate the ladies that make the babies
[01:12.70]And since a man can't make one
[01:14.80]He has no right to tell a woman when and where to create one
[01:18.30]So will the real men get up?
[01:20.40]I know you're fed up, ladies, but keep your head up
[01:23.30]Keep ya head up, ooh, child
[01:26.40]Things are gonna get easier
[01:28.50]Keep ya head up, ooh, child
[01:31.20]Things'll get brighter
[01:34.20]Keep ya head up, ooh, child
[01:37.60]Things are gonna get easier
[01:39.70]Keep ya head up, ooh, child
[01:42.50]Things'll get brighter
[01:44.80]Ayo, I remember Marvin Gaye used to sing to me
[01:48.20]He had me feeling like black was the thing to be
[01:51.40]And suddenly the ghetto didn't seem so tough
[01:53.80]And though we had it rough, we always had enough
[01:56.60]I huffed and puffed about my curfew and broke the rules
[01:59.40]Ran with the local crew and had a smoke or two
[02:02.50]And I realize momma really paid the price
[02:04.90]She nearly gave her life to raise me right
[02:09.00]And all I had to give her was my pipe dream
[02:11.10]Of how I'd rock the mic and make it to the bright screen
[02:14.30]I'm trying to make a dollar out of fifteen cents
[02:17.20]It's hard to be legit and still pay the rent
[02:19.90]And in the end it seems I'm heading for the pen
[02:21.80]I try to find my friends, but they're blowing in the wind
[02:25.30]Last night my buddy lost his whole family
[02:27.70]It's gonna take the man in me to conquer this insanity
[02:30.70]It seems the rain'll never let up
[02:32.60]I try to keep my head up and still keep from getting wet up
[02:36.40]You know, it's funny, when it rains it pours
[02:38.60]They got money for wars but can't feed the poor
[02:42.10]Say there ain't no hope for the youth
[02:44.10]And the truth is it ain't no hope for the future
[02:47.60]And then they wonder why we crazy
[02:49.60]I blame my mother for turning my brother into a crack baby
[02:53.30]We ain't meant to survive, 'cause it's a set-up
[02:55.60]And even though you're fed up
[02:57.80]Keep ya head up, ooh, child
[03:00.80]Things are gonna get easier
[03:03.40]Keep ...........
