Do we hate our women? I think it's time we kill for our women Time to heal our women Be real to our women Or we would have a race of babies That would hate the ladies that make the babies Will the real men get up? Ladies, I know you fed up But you gotta [Chorus: Lyfe Jennings] Keep your head up Ooh child, things are gonna get easier Oh, hold on to faith, babe Keep your head up Ooh child, things are gona get easier All you gotta do is believe [Verse 2: Lyfe Jennings] I remember Marvin Gaye used to sing to me Had me feeling like black was the thing to be Suddenly the ghetto didn't seem so tough Though we had it rough Always had enough (Always had enough) Realizing momma really paid the price And nearly gave her life to raise me right, yeah And though you was a crack fiend mama You always was a black queen mama And ooh, child of mine To all the ladies havin babies on their own (Havin' babies on your own) I know it's kind of rough (I know it's rough) And you're feelin' alone (I know you feeling alone) But better days are comin' (Better days are comin') [Chorus: Lyfe Jennings] Keep your head up Ooh child, things are gonna get easier Oh, hold on to faith, babe Keep your head up Ooh child, things are gonna get easier All you gotta do is believe This for all my 2Pac Fans All my 2Pac fans [Verse 3: Kids & (Lyfe Jennings)] When he tell you you ain't nothin', 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 tryna gas you up, I just call it like I see it You know what makes me unhappy (What's that?) When brothas make babies and leave the 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 know that gets you 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 and don't forget, girl [Chorus: Lyfe Jennings] Keep your head up Ooh child, things are gonna get easier (Thank you, L.A., we owe you for this one, L.A.) Oh, hold on to faith, babe Keep your head up Ooh child, things are gonna get easier All you gotta do is believe, yeah [Outro: Lyfe Jennings & Kid] Keep your head, head up Keep your head up, ooh Keep ya head up Keep ya head up Keep your head up Keep ya head up Keep ya head up This all I got to say, is keep your head up
