Baby Don't Cry (Keep Ya Head Up II)

I feel you (Uh)

Baby don't

But you can't, you can't give up

(H.E.A.T., 2Pac with, Outlawz)

Baby don't cry, I hope you got your head up

Even when the road is hard, never give up

Baby don't cry, I hope you got your head up

Even when the road is hard, never give up

Now here's a story 'bout a woman with dreams

So picture perfect at 13, an ebony queen

Beneath the surface, it was more than just a crooked smile

Nobody knew about her secret, so it took a while

I could see a tear fall slow down her black cheek

Sheddin' quiet tears in the back seat

So, when she asked me, "What would you do if it was you?"

Couldn't answer such a horrible pain to live through

I tried to trade places in the tragedy

I couldn't picture three crazed niggas grabbin' me

For just a moment I was trapped in the pain

Lord, come and take me

Four niggas violated, they chased and they raped me

Even though it wasn't me, I could feel the grief

Thinkin' with your brains blown, that would make the pain go

No, you got to find a way to survive

'Cause they win when your soul dies

Baby, please don't cry, you got your head up

Even when the road is hard, never give up

Baby don't cry, you got to keep your head up

Even when the road is hard, never give up

Baby don't cry, I hope you got your head up

Even when the road is hard, never give up

Baby don't cry, I hope you got your head up

Even when the road is hard, never give up

Baby don't cry

Forget him, girl (Forget him girl), he ain't gon' never change

I ain't no hater but that nigga lost in the game

After the bright lights and big thangs

He probably could love you, but he in love with the struggle

Everyday, his mind on gettin' more (Gettin' more)

And never your feelings, he's chasin' millions for sho'

Uh-oh (Uh-oh), now you 'bout to have his baby?

Another wild-ass nigga, that's gon' drive you crazy

You got too much, more livin' to do, I'm spittin' this to you

'Cause you deserve more than what he givin' to you (That's right)

Beautiful, black, precious and complicated

A new millennium dime piece, so, fine she

Got 'em all stuck standin' still when she come through

Baby take a little more time, love'll find you

And sho' as the sky's blue, somebody other than me

Gon' give you everything you need, feel me?

Baby, don't cry, you got your head up

Even when the road is hard, never give up

Baby don't cry, you got to keep your head up

Even when the road is hard, never give up

Baby don't cry, I hope you got your head up

Even when the road is hard, never give up

Baby don't cry, I hope you got your head up

Even when the road is hard, never give up

Baby don't cry

I'm tryin' to do all that I can

From jump, now you losin', you was choosin' the wrong man

Dealt the wrong hand, you was young and beautiful

Lost and turned out, what you let that nigga do to you? (Damn)

I knew her since elementary, she blew a kiss to me

Wrote me a note in crayon, wantin' to get with me

We was kids, now she got three kids

They see their father e'ryday, and they don't know who he is

Seen him last night, homie roll a E-class

Mad cheese in the stash, still a deadbeat dad

I bring her, Pampers and food, just to stop through

But those, ain't my seeds, nothin' really I could do (Nah)

I feel pity for you, you ain't even his wife

17 with three kids, locked down for life

Should've chose me, she 'bout to OD from the pressure

Hell nah, I won't let her (Baby)

Baby, don't cry, you got your head up

Even when the road is hard, never give up

Baby don't cry, you got to keep your head up

Even when the road is hard, never give up

Baby don't cry, I hope you got your head up

Even when the road is hard, never give up

Baby don't cry, I hope you got your head up

Even when the road is hard, never give up

Baby, don't cry, you got your head up

Even when the road is hard, never give up

Baby don't cry, you got to keep your head up

Even when the road is hard, never give up

Baby don't cry, I hope you got your head up

Even when the road is hard, never give up

Baby don't cry, I hope you got your head up

Even when the road is hard, never give up

Baby don't cry

You'll be alright (Don't cry, don't cry)

Baby don't cry, I hope you got your head up

Even when the road is hard, never give up

Baby don't cry, I hope you got your head up

Even when the road is hard, never give up

Baby don't cry

For all the ladies (Soulshock, Karlin)

Baby don't cry, got to keep your head up (Keep your head up)
