Keep Ya Head Up Lyrics
Artist(Band):2Pac
Review The Song (36)Print the Lyrics
Little somethin for my godson Elijah and a little girl named Kerim

[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]

Keep ya head up, oooo child things are gonna get easier
ooooo child things are
get brighter [2x]

[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 da tears, is rollin down your cheeks
Ya steady hopin things don't fall 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

INSIGHT | Reviewer: B Ron | 6/2/09

this man was a God given gift to the world for a period of time thats what this life is about being that influence in some way to someone other then yourself if we lived our lives thinking of others first we wouldnt have to worry bout taken care of ourselves so take what we can from great ppl like this then apply the positives to our everyday lives
"keep ya head up AMERICA"!



2pac | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/22/09

I absolutely adore this song and listen to it on a daily basis. My boyfreind
lectures me about a man who allegedly respected woman but was found guilty and sentenced on a rape charge.I have read reports on the rape and i don't know what to believe. I love the message he puts over in his lyrics..........no matter what he was still a talented, intelligent individual and i will continue to listen to his music.



Pac | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/22/09

2Pac is arguably the greatest lyracist ever but some if you people are just raving about pac like he is the only one( not to take anything away from him) but Mo Jeng...there us no way u can put Biggie with 50 and J. Biggie was one of the most lyrically dope niggas ever all you need to be listening to Bone Thugs N Harmony now that all 5 are back together and Krayzie Bone is spitting some if his dopest shit ever



Number 1 | Reviewer: Mo Jeng | 4/8/09

The Franklin D Roosevelt of hip hop, The Bob Marley of hip hop...I cant believe people even put him on the same plateau as all these other mcs. Wake Up!! Pac represented hip hop for what it truely was: a revolution!..speaking for the masses from the soul & heart and trying to make a difference. Biggie, Jigga, Fifty..these guys are actors, they should be in hollywood. The game died with Pac!!!



Tupac Forever <3 | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/5/09

Seriously everyone hears the word "Tupac" and thinks of drugs, voilence, shotguns. Thats so bullshit. I hear the name Tupac and all i can think of is a beautiful angel. He's so beautiful and every word he writes is beautiful. I don't see 50 cent or any other rapper writing songs like he did, he will always be my number one and i totally respect all messages hes given out there. All the haters can keep on hating because they dont know what they are missing out on. I love you Tupac Shakur forever and i wish i get to see you in heaven or in real life, since nobody knows if your alive or dead. I personally believe your alive, i would love to meet you and talk with you it will be a dream come true. I LOVE YOU TUPAC! Your my man forever nobody can replace you <3

The real stuff | Reviewer: DJ RKM | 12/10/08

To see hip hop and interpret it, you gotta know how. Lots of people think hip hop, drugs, violence, crime, hoes. WHAT THE F------, do you know what was in the guy/girls head when he shot the guy, do you know why hes doing drugs. Do you know who the person is. Then someone said all rap does is bring down white people and bring up blacks......WHAT!!!!!!!!!! did you just say that this music brings down white people cuz its made by black people. Well think about it, dont you guys deserve it, you killed hte black people, kept them as slaves and so much more, they forgive you but they dont forget. They do this and keep their head up, its the REAL shiz. This is the best stuff ever........
keep ya head up
alwayz and 4ever



Amazing True Advice | Reviewer: Katelyn | 12/6/08

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



This really helped me when me and my boyfriend broke up, he was always saying things to make me feel like shit. We dated for over 2 years, and he was my first for everything. I loved him, but when he decided to be a dick, and try to ruin my self esteem, my friend showed me this song. I really love her, because this is exactly the advice I needed.

R.I.P 2Pac
[forever changed;
never forgotten]
