Keep, I Know

This goes out to all the people in the hood

You would leave if you really could

If you get money and up and leave

The cops will think u selling weed

Life is hard because my father went down for it

My sister is going to collage to study the forest

If you sell drugs I know y u do

U trying to get money bfor the rent is due

it is good with me as long as u do it right

old people in the hood sleep with guns to be safe at night

a crack head break into yo crib

U shoot him in the chest and wonder if he gonna live

The cops ride on yo block and laugh

U want to curse be u look and smile

They wonder why we do what we do

lets see if they can live a year in my shoes

Keep yo head up

Because I know life is hard

Keep yo head yp

Because I know life is hard

keep yo head up

Because I know life is hard (repeat 1x)

Geting money is hard without no job

Kids asking "is we gonna eat tomorrer"

We do what we do and go out and steal

To make sure our little brothers get a good meal

Then here comes the holidays

Is there gonna be any better dayz

We got to by toys for chrismas

Ask the goverment to help us

They will send u here and there

Before they finish u want see welfare

So we start slagin and robbin

We hit a man with money and he start slobbin

The cops come and u start to run

He jumps out his car and pull out his gun

Then he yell freez

Keep yo head up

Because I know life is hard

Keep yo head up

Because I know life is hard

Keep yo head up

Because I know life is hard (Repeat 2x)
