Generate meaning
1
Little somethin for my godson Elijah and a little girl named Corinne
2
Some say the blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice
3
I say the darker the flesh then the deeper the roots
4
I give a holler to my sisters on welfare
5
Tupac cares, if don't nobody else care
6
And uhh, I know they like to beat ya down a lot
7
When you come around the block brothas clown a lot
8
But please don't cry, dry your eyes, never let up
9
Forgive but don't forget, girl keep your head up
10
And when he tells you you ain't nuttin don't believe him
11
And if he can't learn to love you you should leave him
12
Cause sista you don't need him
13
And I ain't tryin to gas ya up, I just call em how I see em
14
You know it makes me unhappy (what's that)
15
When brothas make babies, and leave a young mother to be a pappy
16
And since we all came from a woman
17
Got our name from a woman and our game from a woman
18
I wonder why we take from our women
19
Why we rape our women, do we hate our women?
20
I think it's time to kill for our women
21
Time to heal our women, be real to our women
22
And if we don't we'll have a race of babies
23
That will hate the ladies, that make the babies
24
And since a man can't make one
25
He has no right to tell a woman when and where to create one
26
So will the real men get up
27
I know you're fed up ladies, but keep your head up
28
Keep ya head up, oooo child things are gonna get easier
29
ooooo child things are gonna get brighter
30
Keep ya head up, oooo child things are gonna get easier
31
ooooo child things are gonna get brighter
32
Aiyyo, I remember Marvin Gaye, used to sing ta me
33
He had me feelin like black was tha thing to be
34
And suddenly tha ghetto didn't seem so tough
35
And though we had it rough, we always had enough
36
I huffed and puffed about my curfew and broke the rules
37
Ran with the local crew, and had a smoke or two
38
And I realize momma really paid the price
39
She nearly gave her life, to raise me right
40
And all I had ta give her was my pipe dream
41
Of how I'd rock the mic, and make it to tha bright screen
42
I'm tryin to make a dollar out of fifteen cents
43
It's hard to be legit and still pay tha rent
44
And in the end it seems I'm headin for tha pen
45
I try and find my friends, but they're blowin in the wind
46
Last night my buddy lost his whole family
47
It's gonna take the man in me to conquer this insanity
48
It seems tha rain'll never let up
49
I try to keep my head up, and still keep from gettin wet up
50
You know it's funny when it rains it pours
51
They got money for wars, but can't feed the poor
52
Say there ain't no hope for the youth and the truth is
53
it ain't no hope for tha future
54
And then they wonder why we crazy
55
I blame my mother, for turning my brother into a crack baby
56
We ain't meant to survive, cause it's a setup
57
And even though you're fed up
58
Huh, ya got to keep your head up
59
Keep ya head up, oooo child things are gonna get easier
60
ooooo child things are gonna get brighter
61
And uhh
62
To all the ladies havin babies on they own
63
I know it's kinda rough and you're feelin all alone
64
Daddy's long gone and he left you by ya lonesome
65
Thank the Lord for my kids, even if nobody else want em
66
Cause I think we can make it, in fact, I'm sure
67
And if you fall, stand tall and comeback for more
68
Cause ain't nuttin worse than when your son
69
wants to kno why his daddy don't love him no mo'
70
You can't complain you was dealt this
71
hell of a hand without a man, feelin helpless
72
Because there's too many things for you to deal with
73
Dying inside, but outside you're looking fearless
74
While tears, is rollin down your cheeks
75
Ya steady hopin things don't all down this week
76
Cause if it did, you couldn't take it, and don't blame me
77
I was given this world I didn't make it
78
And now my son's getten older and older and cold
79
From havin the world on his shoulders
80
While the rich kids is drivin Benz
81
I'm still tryin to hold on to my survivin friends
82
And it's crazy, it seems it'll never let up, but
83
please... you got to keep your head up
