G
F#m
G
F#m
Some say the
G
blacker the better,
the sweeter the juice
F#m
I say the darker the flesh
and the deeper the roots
G
I give a holler to my sister's
own welfare
F#m
Tupac can 't,
if don't nobody else can
G
And uh, I know they like
to beat you down a lot
F#m
When you come around the block,
brothers clown a lot
G
But please, don't cry,
dry your eyes, never let her
F#m
Forgive her, don't forget,
girl, keep your head up
G
And when he tells you you ain't nothin',
don't believe him
F#m
And if you can't learn to love her,
G
you should leave him
Cause sister, you don't need him
F#m
And I ain't tryin' to gas you up,
I just call him how I see him
G
You know what makes
me unhappy?
F#m
My brothers make names
and leave a young mother to be attached
G
And since we all came from a woman,
F#m
got our name from a woman,
and I came from a woman
G
I wonder why we take
from our women,
F#m
why we rape our women,
do we hate our women?
G
I think it's time to kill for our women,
F#m
time to heal our women,
be real to our women
G
And if we don't we'll have
a race of babies
F#m
that will hate the ladies
that make the babies
G
And since a man can't make one,
F#m
he has no right to tell a woman
when and where to create one
G
So will the real men get up?
F#m
I know you're fed up ladies,
but keep your head up
G
Head up, ooh child,
D
F#m
things are gonna get easier
G
Head up, ooh child,
F#m
things will get brighter
G
Head up, ooh child,
F#m
things are gonna get easier
G
Head up, ooh child,
F#m
D
things will get brighter
F#m
G
I remember Marvin Gaye used to sing to me
F#m
He had me feeling like black
was the thing to be
G
And suddenly the kettle
didn't seem so tough
F#m
And though we had it rough,
we always had enough
G
I hopped up off of my curfew
and broke the rules
F#m
Ran with the local crew,
and had a smoke or two
G
I realized mama really paid the price
F#m
She nearly gave her life
to raise me right
G
And all I had to give her was my life
F#m
Dream of how I'm off the mic,
and make it to the right string
G
I'm trying to make a dollar
F#m
out of them six cents
It's hard to be legit,
G
and still pay your rent
It seems I'm headin' for the pen
F#m
I tried to find my friends,
but they're blowin' in the wind
G
Last night, my body lost its whole family
F#m
It's gonna take the man in me
to conquer this insanity
G
It seems the rain'll never let up
F#m
I try to keep my head up
And still keep from gettin' wetter
G
You know it's funny when it rains,
it pours
F#m
They got money for wars,
but can't feed the poor
G
Said it ain't no hope for the youth
F#m
And the truth is,
it ain't no hope for the future
G
And didn't wonder why we crazy
F#m
I blame my mother
for turning my brother into a crack baby
G
We ain't meant to survive
cause it's a setup
F#m
And even though you fed her
G
Give me your bed, ooh child
D
F#m
Things are gonna get easy
D
G
Give me your bed, ooh child
F#m
Things will get brighter
G
Give me your bed, ooh child
F#m
Things are gonna get easy
G
Give me your hand
F#m
D
Ooh child, things will get brighter
F#m
And uh
G
To all the ladies havin' babies on their own
F#m
I know it's kinda rough
and you're feelin' all alone
G
Daddy's long gone
and he left you by your lonesome
F#m
Thanks a lot for my kids
D
G
even if somebody else want em
Cause I think we can make
it in fact I'm sure
F#m
And if you fall stand tall
G
I'll come back for more
Cause ain't nothin' worse
F#m
than when your son wants to know
Why his daddy don't love him no more
G
You can't complain you was
F#m
dealt this hell of a hand
without a man feeling helpless
G
Because there's too many things
for you to deal with
F#m
Dying inside but outside
you're looking fit
G
While the tears is rolling
down your cheek
F#m
You're standing hop ing
things don't all fall this week
G
Cause if it did you couldn't take it,
and don't blame me
F#m
I was given this world,
I didn't make it
G
And now my son's getting old,
F#m
I ain't old, I ain't cold
From having the world on his shoulders
G
While the rich kids are drivin' big,
F#m
I'm still try in' to hold on
to my survivin' friends.
G
And it's crazy,
F#m
it seems I'm never let up.
Please, you gotta keep your head up.
