Baby Don't Cry (Keep Ya Head Up II) Songtext
von 2Pac & Outlawz

I feel you (Uh)
Baby don′t
But you can't, you can′t give up
(H.E.A.T., 2Pac with, Outlawz)

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

Now here′s a story ′bout a woman with dreams
So picture perfect at 13, 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 grabbin′ 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, please don't cry, you got your head up
Even when the road is hard, never give up
Baby don′t cry, you got to keep 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

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′ more (Gettin' more)
And never your feelings, he's chasin′ millions for sho′

Uh-oh (Uh-oh), now you 'bout to have his baby?
Another wild-ass nigga, that′s gon' drive you crazy
You got too much, more 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 more time, love′ll find you
And sho' as the sky′s blue, somebody other than me
Gon' give you everything you need, feel me?

Baby, don′t cry, you got your head up
Even when the road is hard, never give up
Baby don't cry, you got to keep 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'm tryin′ to do all that I can
From jump, now you losin', you was choosin′ 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, wantin' to get with me
We was kids, now she got three kids
They see their father e′ryday, and they don't know who he is

Seen him last night, homie 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, nothin′ really I could do (Nah)
I feel pity for you, you ain′t even his wife
17 with three kids, locked down for life
Should've chose me, she ′bout to OD from the pressure
Hell nah, I won't let her (Baby)

Baby, don′t cry, you got your head up
Even when the road is hard, never give up
Baby don't cry, you got to keep 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, you got your head up
Even when the road is hard, never give up
Baby don′t cry, you got to keep 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
You'll be alright (Don′t cry, don't cry)

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

For all the ladies (Soulshock, Karlin)
Baby don′t cry, got to keep your head up (Keep your head up)
Makaveli lives on, right
Makaveli lives on
