Little somethin for my godson Elijah and a little girl named Corinne [Verse One] Some say the blacker 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 Tupac cares
if don t nobody else care And uhh
I know they like to beat ya down a lot When you come around the block brothas clown a lot But please don t cry
dry your eyes
never let up Forgive but don t forget
girl keep your head up 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 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 Time to heal our women
be real to our women And 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 [Chorus - repeat 2X] Keep ya head up
oooo child things are gonna get easier ooooo child things are gonna get brighter [Verse Two] Aiyyo
I remember Marvin Gaye
used to sing ta me He had me feelin like black was tha thing to be And suddenly tha ghetto didn t seem so tough And though we had it rough
we always had enough I huffed and puffed about my curfew and broke the rules Ran with the local crew
and had a smoke or two And I realize momma really paid the price She nearly gave her life
to raise me right And all I had ta give her was my pipe dream Of how I d rock the mic
and make it to tha bright screen I m tryin to make a dollar out of fifteen cents It s hard to be legit and still pay tha rent And in the end it seems I m headin for tha pen I try and find my friends
but they re blowin in the wind Last night my buddy lost his whole family It s gonna take the man in me to conquer this insanity It seems tha rain ll never let up I try to keep my head up
and still keep from gettin wet up You know it s funny when it rains it pours They got money for wars
but can t feed the poor Say there ain t no hope for the youth and the truth is it ain t no hope for tha future And then they wonder why we crazy I blame my mother
for turning my brother into a crack baby We ain t meant to survive
cause it s a setup And even though you re fed up Huh
ya got to keep your head up [Chorus] [Verse Three] And uhh To all the ladies havin babies on they own I know it s kinda rough and you re feelin all alone Daddy s long gone and he left you by ya lonesome Thank the Lord for my kids
even if nobody else want em Cause I think we can make it
in fact
I m sure And if you fall
stand tall and comeback for more Cause ain t nuttin worse than when your son wants to kno why his daddy don t love him no mo You can t complain you was dealt this hell of a hand without a man
feelin helpless Because there s too many things for you to deal with Dying inside
but outside you re looking fearless While tears
is rollin down your cheeks Ya steady hopin things don t all down this week Cause if it did
you couldn t take it
and don t blame me I was given this world I didn t make it And now my son s getten older and older and cold From havin the world on his shoulders While the rich kids is drivin Benz I m still tryin to hold on to my survivin friends And it s crazy
it seems it ll never let up
but please
you got to keep your head up |
