Lyfe Jennings "Keep Ya Head Up" |
[Some say the darker the berry the sweeter the juice I say the darker the flesh the deeper the roots Holla for my sisters on welfare Lyfe cares if don't nobody else care 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 Or we will have a race of babies That will hate the ladies that made the babies Will the real men get up, ladies I know you're fed up But you gotta CHORUS: Keep your head up Ooh child, things are going to get easier Oh hold on Keep your head up Ooh child, things are going to get easier All you gotta do is believe I remember Marvin Gaye used to sing to me Had me feelin' like black was the thing to be Suddenly the ghetto didn't seem so tough Though we had it rough, always had enough Realized mama really paid the price And nearly gave her life to raise me right yea And though you were a crack fiend mama You always was a black queen mama And ooh child of mine To all the ladies havin' babies on their own I know it's kinda rough and you're feelin' alone But better days are comin' Hold your head up CHORUS: Keep your head up Ooh child, things are going to get easier Oh hold on Keep your head up Ooh child, things are going to get easier All you gotta do is believe 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 this is you don't need him And I ain't tryin' to get you up I just call 'em like I see 'em You know what makes me unhappy (what's that) When brothers make babies and leave a young ma 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 they beat you down a lot When they come around the block Brothers clown a lot But please don't cry, dry your eyes Never let 'em, forgive and don't forget and girl Thank you LA, we owe you for this one CHORUS: Keep your head up Ooh child, things are going to get easier Oh hold on Keep your head up Ooh child, things are going to get easier All you gotta do is believe Keep your head up Keep your head up Keep your head up, keep your head up Keep your head up Keep your head up Keep your head up, keep your head up This is all I gotta say is Keep your head up] Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
