Jhené Aiko Keep Ya Head Up song lyrics

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
