Ayo, I remember Marvin Gaye used to sing to me Keep ya head up, ooh, child
He had me feeling like black was the thing to be Things are gonna get easier
And _____________ the ghetto didn't seem so tough Keep ya head up, ooh, child
And though we had it rough, we always had enough Things'll get brighter (repeat 1x)
I huffed and puffed about my ______________ and broke the
rules And uh, to all the ladies having babies on they own
Ran with the local crew and had a smoke or two I know it's kinda rough and you're feeling all alone
And I realize momma really paid the price Daddy's long gone and he left you by your ______________
She nearly gave her life to raise me right Thank the Lord for my kids even if nobody else want 'em
And all I had to give her was my pipe dream 'Cause I think we can make it, in fact, I'm sure
Of how I'd rock the mic and make it to the bright screen And if you fall, stand tall and come back for more
I'm trying to make a dollar out of fifteen cents 'Cause ain't nothing worse than when your son
It's hard to be legit and still pay the rent Wants to know why his daddy don't love him no mo'
And in the end it seems I'm heading for the pen You can't ______________ you was dealt this
I try to find my friends, but they're _____________ in the Hell of a hand without a man, feeling helpless
wind Because there's too many things for you to deal with
Last night my buddy lost his whole family Dying inside, but outside you're looking fearless
It's gonna take the man in me to _____________ this insanity While tears is _____________ down your cheeks
It seems the rain'll never let up You steady hoping things don't fall down this week
I try to keep my head up and still keep from getting wet up 'Cause if it did, you couldn't take it
You know, it's funny, when it rains it pours And don't blame me, I was given this world, I didn't make it
They got money for wars but can't feed the poor And now my son's getting older and older and colder
Say there ain't no hope for the youth From having the world on his shoulders
And the truth is it ain't no hope for the future While the rich kids is driving Benz
And then they wonder why we crazy I'm still trying to hold on to _______________ friends
I blame my mother for turning my brother into a crack baby And it's crazy, it seems it'll never let up
We ain't meant to survive, 'cause it's a set-up But please, you got to keep your head up
And even though you're fed up
Huh, you got to keep your head up
