Whattup little man? What's the matter? |
| [00:08.63] |
I wish I didn't have to be here |

It's not that bad.. |
| [00:12.83] |
Could always be worse, yaknahmsayin? |
| [00:14.70] |
|
| [00:15.27] |
All you gotta do, is stay in school |
| [00:17.33] |
|
| [00:17.90] |
Anything you wanna do you could do yaknahmsayin baby? |
| [00:20.66] |
|
| [00:21.97] |
No matter what though, gotta keep your head up to the sky |
| [00:24.90] |
|
| [00:30.19] |
This goes out to, all the infants |
| [00:32.50] |
in this cold world that was born addicted |
| [00:34.70] |
And to all the section eight kids |
| [00:36.76] |
Just remember these four words y'all - we gon' make it |
| [00:39.27] |
The government keep on tryin to fool us |
| [00:41.77] |
The system, keep on tryin to lose us |
| [00:43.89] |
And all we can do is keep buyin computers |
| [00:46.27] |
And all now 'fore it start goin down |
| [00:48.52] |
We gotta hold our head, keep our pride |
| [00:50.83] |
Though it hurts when I see people sleep outside |
| [00:53.14] |
Little babies with no socks on, eatin popcorn |
| [00:55.57] |
We all know what they moms and they pops on |
| [00:58.09] |
Out go the love when the drugs come |
| [00:59.95] |
They never got nuttin for Christmas, and they ain't Muslim |
| [01:02.41] |
This is a jewel, a lot of us was them |
| [01:04.78] |
This is a jewel, a lot of us was them |
| [01:07.22] |
Your head to the sky.. my my, my |
| [01:11.66] |
You can win - you can win - if you keep your head |
| [01:16.34] |
As long as you keep - your head - your head to the sky |
| [01:19.96] |
|
| [01:20.66] |
My my, my.. |
| [01:21.84] |

Uhh, to my lockdown niggaz keep your head in the sky |
| [01:25.46] |
To my shot down niggaz keep your head in the sky |
| [01:27.71] |
I don't know if it's better to ride, or better to die |
| [01:30.45] |
And that's why there's red in my eye |
| [01:32.45] |
Cause people don't know what the ghetto is like |
| [01:34.51] |
Either you make it out, or the terrible life |
| [01:36.82] |
I don't wanna be a broke bastard |
| [01:38.63] |
And everybody in the hood got somebody in they fam' with a coke habit |
| [01:41.94] |
You work for minimum wage |
| [01:43.25] |
I'ma get in the game, get shot or a bid in the cage |
| [01:46.12] |
It's a risk I gotta take - and I'ma be the nigga |
| [01:48.70] |
with the bricks and the stash and the biscuit outta state |
| [01:50.95] |
And even though I'm blessed with the gift |
| [01:52.76] |
I gotta move cause the pain and the sickness gotta wait |
| [01:55.26] |
I go extremely hard - why let up? |
| [01:57.57] |
And I can breathe long as I keep my head up |
| [01:59.48] |
|
| [02:10.93] |
Uhh, uhh - uh-huh, uhh - uh.. |
| [02:16.51] |
Aiyyo I come from a place where it's three strikes out |
| [02:18.50] |
And your life's on the line, so we iced out |
| [02:20.75] |
Summertime gettin money, three dice out |
| [02:23.25] |
Tanktops, and jean shorts, we Niked out |
| [02:25.49] |
Headbands, and four wheelers |
| [02:27.11] |
Jeeps and Coupes and convos, about who know more killers |
| [02:30.05] |
It's all wrong but it's all right |
| [02:32.04] |
It's a small world; matter fact it's a small life |
| [02:35.06] |
We all trip but the way to survive |
| [02:36.88] |
is hold your head and make sure you fall right |
| [02:39.26] |
And it's a quite fact, that whatever goes around comes right back |
| [02:42.59] |
It's just like that |
| [02:43.71] |
And we tryin to touch major paper |
| [02:45.73] |
Everybody in the struggle it gets greater later |
| [02:48.24] |
Never say can't, it's better to try |
| [02:50.73] |
And you can breathe long as you keep your head in the sky |
| [02:52.95] |
|
| [02:53.73] |
Don't you let nobody stop you, mm |
| [02:55.32] |

As long as you keep - your head - your head to the sky |
| [03:13.95] |
My my, my.. |
