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

I feel you, uhh (baby don't)

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

(Hey, Tupac what?)

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

(Keep ya head up)

Now here's a story bout a woman with dreams

So picture perfect at thirteen, 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 grabbing 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 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 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

Uhh

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 mo' (gettin mo')

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

Uh oh (uh oh), now you bout to have his baby? (dayamn)

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

You got too much, mo', 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 mo' time, love'll find you

And show us the sky's blue somebody other than me

Gon' give you everything you need, feel me?

(Don't cry)

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

Even when the road is hard, never give up (you'll be alright)

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

Even when the road is hard, never give up (you'll be alright)

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

Even when the road is hard, never give up (keep your head up)

Baby don't cry, I hope you got your head up (never give up)

Even when the road is hard, never give up (no no.. oh)

Baby don't cry

I'm trying to do all that I can, from jump

Now you losing, you was choosing 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, wanting to get with me

We was kids, now she got three kids

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

Seen him last night, homey 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, nuttin really I could do

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

Seventeen with three kids, locked down for life

Shoulda chose me, she bout to O.D. from the pressure

Hell nah I won't let her (Baby don't cry)
