I gotta keep my head up high My Mama told me watch 'em 'cause they comin' for me I gotta keep my prayers up high The sun ain't shinin' on the end of our street I gotta keep my head up high My Daddy told me watch 'em right before he left me I gotta move on Can't wait for too long For you to give me what I need Look, woke up this morning Feelin' blessed like it was Saturday Wake up Junior Get him dressed then take him out to play Finally feelin' free of all the day to day Stressin' that I feel when these blank stares get hard to face Just another day inside a blackened mind Where the agony is beautiful But lackin' shine 'Cause even the sun been scared to come around And the Mayor don't know a single street inside the town Where 'Lil Kenny locked up My nigga just got shot up Grandma in the kitchen cookin' Better clean your spot up That's the reality created from the greed But everything we missin' Gave us everything we need, to guarantee That we the ones who made to endure All the pain that was created from the days of before, so What about it? Help me sing it louder Until them kids livin' with no fear to climb the mountain I gotta keep my head up high My Mama told me watch 'em 'cause they comin' for me I gotta keep my prayers up high The sun ain't shinin' on the end of our street I gotta keep my head up high My Daddy told me watch 'em right before he left me I gotta move on Can't wait for too long For you to give me what I need So I'ma take what you owe me I'ma get you to know me I can't run away from days when I would dream with the homies I been tryna make a way To keep me safe from the old me If today becomes my fate I can't forget what you told me Take in all of the pain Stay away from the lies Don't forget where you came And keep your head to the sky Keep your head up high And that's the real, no lie Real as the image we created in Realer than suburban neighborhoods That's safer playin' in That we pray to make it in Came to realization, what I'm facin' is a Lakers fan You love The Color Purple But scared this gold'll hurt you Black and blue curfews Bruises without a bandage A 49'er with the mind, I'm built to withstand it You built to have it fall You built to have it all They never who they claim to be like Rachel Dolezal So lighten up, to find the light inside you Let my words be your compass That you need to guide you A preacher still ain't nothin' but a man Who probably never seen the situation that I'm in, to understand my Freedom was granted when I found it within Seen too many eulogies, for you and me to pretend, that We wasn't chosen For this very moment I pray they never close me off for bein' in the open, no lie
