Keep Ya Head Up

[Verse 1: JK-47]
Let me tell you all a story 'bout a girl round the way
Daddy never there, same shit, different day
She look in the mirror and all she see is a mistake
Thinkin' that she ain't good enough because he walked away
That's why she put way too much of that makeup on her face
'Cause she don't know she beautiful in every single way
And she feel like this usually, that's why she chooses the weed
Tryna numb up all that fear that just refuses to leave
And her mother doesn't wanna lose her but she lets her run loose in the streets
Hangin' with the type of crew that get pursued by police
Only wish that she could see what I see
But she been through some things that you wouldn't believe
And seen things that she shouldn't have seen
Been confused ever since she was abused, she been thinkin' "What's the use?"
It's true, the story that I tell ain't nothin' new
But how it ends, this is really up to you, and

[Chorus: JK-47 & Denni]
I just hope you keep your head up
And to my brothers that are hurtin' underneath the surface
I hope you keep your head up
Single mothers on the ground, feelin' tired all the time, yeah
I pray you keep your head up
I know you're feelin' down, dealin' with the fear and doubt
Hope you never let it getcha
Yeah, this world's messed up
But believe it's up to us to make it better

[Interlude: Denni]
I know it's a lot
It's a lot to think about and hold
Love and hate
Just old habits
Some thoughts you can't grab at, you know
You just gotta let it go
That's it, just let it go
Ah

[Verse 2: Denni]
I'm gonna burn one down in their name
'Cause they took it away
Take more, give more, unsure
I am [?]
To stand in the forest
Compared to your tree
Burn
So cross to the other side
Where the streetlight flickers bright
It's the same routine every night
'Cause it's dark on the streets
Think about it like a blue sky
She works on the ground just to get by
With a chance to dream
I know she'd be incredible
Make a life everywhere she goes
I just want her to know
Ever want to hold it down
I'll be this side of town, I'll be buildin' a home
So if you're ever alone, dial my number
I'll pick up the phone
I just wanna make you feel worth it
'Cause I know you been hurtin'

[Chorus: JK-47 & Denni]
I just hope you keep your head up
To my sisters who been hurtin' underneath the surface
I hope you keep your head up
Single fathers on the ground, feelin' tired all the time, yeah
I pray you keep your head up
I know you're feelin' down, dealin' with the fear and doubt
Hope you never let it getcha
Yeah, this world's messed up
But believe it's up to us to make it better, yeah

[Bridge: Tani Walker]
And I know you been hurtin'
Ooh, you've been hurtin'
And we see you
Yeah, we see you been hurtin' (Keep your head up)
My sister, my sister

[Outro: JK-47, Tani Walker]
This is Revision for Regrowth
Letting go just to let grow
No father at home, so she was never shown how it felt to be a daughter (Keep your head, woah)
That's not being supported (Gotta keep your head up)
I see her beauty, but in her eyes it's a different story
That's been told time and time, still we ignore it (Just keep your head up)
But don't let them clip your wings, sis (Gotta hold, ooh)
On to big and better things
A queen don't need a crown to see that she's a queen
Just a mind that she can dream with, so chase your dreams, sis (Keep dreamin')
'Cause I believe you can achieve and be all you wanna be, sis (Keep dreamin')
And when you're weak, speak these words to the mirror
And remember who you be, sis
