By RentAnAdviser.com
00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:02.300
Little something for my godson Elijah
00:00:02.400 --> 00:00:04.200
And a little girl named Corin
00:00:10.700 --> 00:00:13.500
Some say the blacker the berry,
the sweeter the juice
00:00:13.600 --> 00:00:16.200
I say the darker the flesh
then the deeper the roots
00:00:16.300 --> 00:00:18.700
I give a holla to my
sisters on welfare
00:00:18.800 --> 00:00:21.800
2Pac cares if don't nobody else care
00:00:21.900 --> 00:00:24.600
And I know they like to
beat you down a lot
00:00:24.700 --> 00:00:27.300
When you come around the block,
brothers clown a lot
00:00:27.400 --> 00:00:30.500
But please don't cry, dry
your eyes, never let up
00:00:30.600 --> 00:00:33.600
Forgive, but don't forget,
girl, keep your head up
00:00:33.700 --> 00:00:36.400
And when he tells you you ain't
nothing, don't believe him
00:00:36.500 --> 00:00:39.500
And if he can't learn to love
you, you should leave him
00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:41.200
'Cause, sister, you don't need him
00:00:41.300 --> 00:00:44.500
And I ain't trying to gas ya up,
I just call 'em how I see 'em
00:00:44.900 --> 00:00:46.600
You know what makes me unhappy?
00:00:46.700 --> 00:00:50.700
When brothers make babies and leave
a young mother to be a pappy
00:00:50.800 --> 00:00:52.600
And since we all came from a woman
00:00:52.700 --> 00:00:55.600
Got our name from a woman and
our game from a woman
00:00:56.400 --> 00:00:58.100
I wonder why we take from our women
00:00:58.200 --> 00:01:01.700
Why we rape our women,
do we hate our women?
00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:03.700
I think it's time to
kill for our women
00:01:03.800 --> 00:01:07.000
Time to heal our women,
be real to our women
00:01:07.100 --> 00:01:09.300
And if we don't we'll have
a race of babies
00:01:09.400 --> 00:01:12.600
That will hate the ladies
that make the babies
00:01:12.700 --> 00:01:14.700
And since a man can't make one
00:01:14.800 --> 00:01:18.200
He has no right to tell a woman
when and where to create one
00:01:18.300 --> 00:01:20.300
So will the real men get up?
00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:23.250
I know you're fed up, ladies,
but keep your head up
00:01:23.300 --> 00:01:26.300
Keep ya head up, ooh, child
00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:28.400
Things are gonna get easier
00:01:28.500 --> 00:01:31.100
Keep ya head up, ooh, child
00:01:31.200 --> 00:01:34.100
Things'll get brighter
00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:37.600
Keep ya head up, ooh, child
00:01:37.600 --> 00:01:39.600
Things are gonna get easier
00:01:39.700 --> 00:01:42.450
Keep ya head up, ooh, child
00:01:42.500 --> 00:01:44.800
Things'll get brighter
00:01:44.800 --> 00:01:48.100
Ayo, I remember Marvin Gaye
used to sing to me
00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:51.100
He had me feeling like black
was the thing to be
00:01:51.400 --> 00:01:53.700
And suddenly the ghetto
didn't seem so tough
00:01:53.800 --> 00:01:56.500
And though we had it rough,
we always had enough
00:01:56.600 --> 00:01:59.300
I huffed and puffed about my
curfew and broke the rules
00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:02.200
Ran with the local crew
and had a smoke or two
00:02:02.500 --> 00:02:04.800
And I realize momma really
paid the price
00:02:04.900 --> 00:02:08.400
She nearly gave her life
to raise me right
00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:11.000
And all I had to give her
was my pipe dream
00:02:11.100 --> 00:02:13.900
Of how I'd rock the mic and make
it to the bright screen
00:02:14.300 --> 00:02:17.100
I'm trying to make a dollar
out of fifteen cents
00:02:17.200 --> 00:02:19.900
It's hard to be legit and
still pay the rent
00:02:19.900 --> 00:02:21.700
And in the end it seems I'm
heading for the pen
00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:25.300
I try to find my friends, but
they're blowing in the wind
00:02:25.300 --> 00:02:27.600
Last night my buddy lost
his whole family
00:02:27.700 --> 00:02:30.600
It's gonna take the man in me
to conquer this insanity
00:02:30.700 --> 00:02:32.500
It seems the rain'll never let up
00:02:32.600 --> 00:02:36.100
I try to keep my head up and still
keep from getting wet up
00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:38.500
You know, it's funny, when
it rains it pours
00:02:38.600 --> 00:02:41.800
They got money for wars but
can't feed the poor
00:02:42.100 --> 00:02:44.000
Say there ain't no hope for the youth
00:02:44.100 --> 00:02:47.300
And the truth is it ain't
no hope for the future
00:02:47.600 --> 00:02:49.300
And then they wonder why we crazy
00:02:49.600 --> 00:02:53.200
I blame my mother for turning
my brother into a crack baby
00:02:53.300 --> 00:02:55.500
We ain't meant to survive,
'cause it's a set-up
00:02:55.600 --> 00:02:57.700
And even though you're fed up
00:02:57.800 --> 00:03:00.700
Keep ya head up, ooh, child
00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:03.300
Things are gonna get easier
00:03:03.400 --> 00:03:06.000
Keep ya hea...........
