Verse 1
(G major) (F sharp minor)
(G major) (F sharp minor) Some say the (G major) blacker the better,
the sweeter the juice
I say the (F sharp minor) darker the flesh
and the deeper the roots
I give (G major) a holler to my sister's
own welfare
Tupac (F sharp minor) can 't, if don't nobody else can
And uh, (G major) I know they like
to beat you down a lot
When you (F sharp minor) come around the block,
brothers clown a lot
But please, (G major) don't cry,
dry your eyes, never let her
For (F sharp minor) give her, don't forget,
girl, keep your head up
(G major) And when he tells you you ain't nothin',
don't believe him
(F sharp minor) And if you can't learn to love
her, you should leave him
(G major) Cause sister, you don't need him
And I ain't (F sharp minor) tryin' to gas you up,
I just call him how I see him
You (G major) know what makes
me unhappy?
My brothers make (F sharp minor) names and leave
a young mother to be attached
(G major) And since we all came from a woman,
got (F sharp minor) our name from a woman, and I came from a woman
(G major) I wonder why we take from our women,
why we (F sharp minor) rape our women, do we hate our women?
(G major) I think it's time to kill for our women,
time (F sharp minor) to heal our women, be real to our women
An (G major) d if we don't we'll have a race of babies
that will (F sharp minor) hate the ladies that make the babies
An (G major) d since a man can't make one,
he has no (F sharp minor) right to tell a woman when and where to create one
(G major) So will the real men get up? I know you're (F sharp minor) fed up ladies,
but keep your head up
(G major) Head up, ooh child,
things are (D major) gonna get (F sharp minor) easier
Head (G major) up, ooh child,
things will get (F sharp minor) brighter
Head up, (G major) ooh child,
(F sharp minor) things are gonna get easier
Head (G major) up, ooh child, things will get brighter (F sharp minor) (D major)
I (F sharp minor) remember
(G major) Marvin
Gaye used to sing to me
He had me (F sharp minor) feeling like black
was the thing to be
And (G major) suddenly the kettle
didn't seem so tough
And though we (F sharp minor) had it rough,
we always had enough
I hopped (G major) up off of my curfew
and broke the rules
Ran with (F sharp minor) the local crew,
and had a smoke or two
I (G major) realized mama really paid the price
She nearly (F sharp minor) gave her life to raise me right
(G major) And all I had to give her was my life
Dream of (F sharp minor) how I'm off the mic,
and make it to the right string
(G major) I'm trying to make a dollar out
of them six cent (F sharp minor) s
It's hard to be legit, and still pay (G major) your rent
It seems I'm headin' for the pen I tried to (F sharp minor) find my friends,
but they're blowin' in the wind
(G major) Last night, my body lost its whole family
It's (F sharp minor) gonna take the man in me to
conquer this insanity
It (G major) seems the rain'll never let
up I try to keep (F sharp minor) my head up
And still keep from gettin' wetter
You (G major) know it's funny when it rains,
it pours
They got (F sharp minor) money for wars,
but can't feed the poor
(G major) Said it ain't no hope for the youth
And the (F sharp minor) truth is,
it ain't no hope for the future
An (G major) d didn't wonder why we crazy I blame (F sharp minor) my mother
for turning my brother into a crack baby
(G major) We ain't meant to survive
cause it's a setup
And (F sharp minor) even though you fed her
(G major) Give me your bed, ooh child
Thing (D major) s are gon (F sharp minor) na get easy
Give (D major) me your (G major) bed, ooh child
Things will get brighter (F sharp minor)
Give me your (G major) bed, ooh child
Thing (F sharp minor) s are gonna get easy
Give me your (G major) hand
Ooh child, things will get brighter (F sharp minor) (D major)
(F sharp minor) And uh
(G major) To all the ladies havin' babies on their own
I know it's kinda (F sharp minor) rough and
you're feelin' all alone
Daddy's long (G major) gone and he left
you by your lonesome
Thanks a (F sharp minor) lot for my kids even
if somebody (D major) else want (G major) em
Cause I think we can make
it in fact I'm sure
(F sharp minor) And if you fall stand tall
I'll come back (G major) for more
Cause ain't nothin' worse than
when your son wants (F sharp minor) to know
Why his daddy don't love him no more
You (G major) can't complain you was dealt this hell of a
(F sharp minor) hand without a man feeling helpless
Because there's (G major) too many things
for you to deal with
Dying inside (F sharp minor) but outside
you're looking fit
While the (G major) tears is rolling
down your cheek
You're standing (F sharp minor) hoping things
don't all fall this week
Cause (G major) if it did you couldn't take it,
and don't blame me
(F sharp minor) I was given this world,
I didn't make it
(G major) And now my son's getting old,
I ain't old, I ain't (F sharp minor) cold
From having the world on his shoulders
While (G major) the rich kids are drivin' big,
I'm still (F sharp minor) try in' to hold on to survivin' friends.
(G major) And it's crazy,
it seems I'm never let up. (F sharp minor)
Please, you gotta keep your head up.
