Keep Ya Head Up Chords by 2Pac

[E] _ _ I'm gonna do something for my God,
something he lied to that little girl named Corrine.
_ _ [Db] _ _ _ _ _ [Abm] _
[E] Say the black of the belly,
the sweet of the juice,
[Abm] I say the dark of the flesh,
and the deep [E] of the roots,
I give a holler to my sisters on [Dbm] welfare,
[Abm] and my kids,
if don't nobody else care,
[Dbm] and uh,
I know they like to beat you down a lot,
[Abm] and when they come around the block,
brothers clown a lot,
[E] please don't cry,
dry your eyes,
never [Abm] let her forget,
but don't forget,
girl, keep your [E] head up,
and when he tells you
you ain't nothing,
don't [Abm] believe him,
and if you can't learn to love,
then you should [Dbm] leave him,
cause sister, you don't need him,
[Abm] and I ain't trying to gas you up,
I just call him how I [A] see him,
[Dbm] you know what makes me young,
ask that,
when [Abm] brothers make it eight,
and leave a young mother to be a [E] half,
and since we all [Gbm] came from a [Abm] woman,
got our name from a woman,
and I came from a [E] woman,
I wonder why we take from our [B] women,
why we [Abm] rape our women,
do we make our [E] women,
I think it's time to kill for our [Abm] women, _ _
[Dbm] _ and if we don't,
we'll have a race of [Abm] babies,
that will hate the ladies,
that make the [Dbm] babies,
and since a [Gbm] man can't make one,
[Abm] he has no right to tell a woman when and where to create [Dbm] one,
so will those real men get up,
[B] I know you're fed up ladies,
[Dbm] keep your head up,
keep your head up,
things [E] are going easy,
keep your head up,
things are going to get brighter,
[Abm] _
[Dbm] keep your head up,
things [E] are going easy,
keep your [G] head up,
[A] things are going [E] to get brighter,
[Ab] I [Dbm] remember Marvin Gaye,
he used to sing to me,
[Abm] he had me feeling like black was the thing to be,
[E] and suddenly the ghetto didn't seem so [Abm] tough,
and though we had it rough,
we always had enough,
[Dbm] I'll step up and buy my curfew,
we [Db] broke the roof,
[Abm] went with the local crew,
and had a smoke or two,
[Dbm] I realized mama really paid the [Abm] price,
she never gave a lot,
to raise new [Dbm] rockets,
all I had to give her was my [Abm] mic,
remember how I rocked the mic,
and make it to the [Dbm] right place,
I'm trying to make a dollar,
I'm the [Abm] man that makes it,
it's hard to be legit,
but there's [Dbm] still playa written in,
it seems I'm [E] heading for the pen,
I try to find my friends,
but they're blowing in the wind,
last night my body lost its whole [Abm] family,
it's going to take the man in me to conquer this [A] insanity,
it seems the [Dbm] rain will never let up,
if I [Abm] try to keep my head up,
and still keep them getting [Gbm] wetter,
you know it's funny when it rains and [Abm] pours,
they got money for war but can't feed the [A] poor,
said there ain't no hope for the [Abm] youth,
and the truth is there ain't no hope for the [E] future,
and then they wonder why we [A] crazy,
[Abm] I blame my mother,
for turning my [Dbm] brother into a crack baby,
we ain't meant to survive cause it's a [Abm] stand up,
but even though you're [Dbm] better,
baby I'm better,
[E] ooh child,
I'm feeling all the gays,
baby I'm [Dbm] better,
ooh child,
[Abm] things are getting brighter, _
[E] baby I'm better,
[A] ooh child,
[Abm] I'm feeling all the [E] gays,
baby I'm better,
[A] ooh child,
[E] things are getting brighter, _
all the ladies having babies on their own,
I [Abm] know it's kind of rough,
and you're feeling all alone,
[E] daddy's long gone,
and he left you by your lonesome,
[Abm] thank the lord,
for my kids even if nobody [E] else want them,
cause I think we can make it in fact I'm sure,
[B] and if you fall stand [E] tall and come [A] back for more,
cause ain't nothing worse than when your [Abm] son wants to know,
why's daddy don't love him no [Dbm] more,
you can't complain you a selfish,
[Abm] hell of a hand without a man feeling helpless,
[Gbm] because there's too many things for you to [E] deal with,
[Abm] dying inside but outside you're broken feelings,
[Dbm] why the tears is rolling down your [Abm] cheek,
is daddy hoping things don't hold down this [Gbm] week,
cause if it did you couldn't take it,
and [Abm] don't blame me,
I was giving this world I didn't [E] make it,
[A] and now my son's getting older [Abm] and older and cold,
from having the world on [E] his shoulders,
why the rich kids are driving,
[Abm] babies are still trying to hold on to surviving,
[Dbm] and it's crazy,
it seems you'll never [B] let up,
[Abm] but please,
