Keep Ya Head Up Lyrics - Jhene Aiko

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 uh, 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 

You know it makes me unhappy 

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 

Heal our women, be real to our women 

Cause 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 

things are gonna get easier 

Ooh child things are gonna get brighter 

Keep ya head up, 

things are gonna get easier 

Ooh child things are gonna get brighter
