Jadakiss - Keep Ya Head Up lyrics

Album: Kiss the game goodbye (2001)

[Jadakiss]
This goes out to, all the infants
in this cold world that was born addicted
And to all the section eight kids
Just remember these four words y´all - we gon´ make it
The government keep on tryin to fool us
The system, keep on tryin to lose us
And all we can do is keep buyin computers
And (?) all now ´fore it start goin down
We´ve got to hold our head, keep our pride
Though it hurts when I see people sleep outside
Little babies with no socks on, eatin popcorn
We all know what they moms & they pops on
Out go the love when the drugs come
They never got nuttin for Christmas, & they aint Muslim
This is a jewel, a lot of us was them
This is a jewel, a lot of us was them

[Chorus: Ann Nesby]
Your head to the sky.. my my, my
You can win - you can win - if you keep your head
As long as you keep - your head - your head to the sky
My my, my..

[Jadakiss]
Uhh, to my lockdown niggaz keep your head in the sky
To my shot down niggaz keep your head in the sky
I do not know if it is better to ride, or better to die
And that is why theres red in my eye
Cause people don´t know what the ghetto is like
Either you make it out, or the terrible life
I do not want to be a broke bastard
And everybody in the hood got somebody in they fam´ with a coke habit
You work for minimum wage
I ama get in the game, get shot or a bid in the cage
It is a risk I´ve got to take - & I ama be the nigga
with the bricks & the stash & the biscuit outta state
And even though I am blessed with the gift
I´ve got to move cause the pain & the sickness have got to wait
I go extremely hard - why let up?
And I can breathe long as I keep my head up

[Chorus: Ann Nesby]
Your head to the sky.. my my, my
You can win - you can win - if you keep your head
As long as you keep - your head - your head to the sky
My my, my..

[Jadakiss]
Uhh, uhh - uh-huh, uhh - uh..
Aiyyo I come from a place where it is three strikes out
And your life is on the line, so we iced out
Summertime gettin money, three dice out
Tanktops, & jean shorts, we Niked out
Headbands, & four wheelers
Jeeps & Coupes & convos, about who know more killers
It is all wrong but it is all right
It is a small world; matter fact it is a small life
We all trip but the way to survive
is hold your head & make sure you fall right
And it is a quite fact, that whatever goes around comes right back
It is just like that
And we tryin to touch major paper
Everybody in the struggle it gets greater later
Never say can´t, it is better to try
And you can breathe long as you keep your head in the sky

[Ann Nesby]
Don´t you let nobody stop you, mm
Heyy, heyyy, yeahh!

Chorus [Ann Nesby]
Your head to the sky.. my my, my
You can win - you can win - if you keep your head
As long as you keep - your head - your head to the sky
My my, my..
