2Pac - Baby Don't Cry/Keep Ya Head Up II (Original Version) lyrics

I feel ya baby don’t
But you can’t, you can’t 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 uh

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 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 to keep 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
