Lyrical Analysis of...

2Pac-Keep Ya Head Up

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