Whattup little man? What's the matter?
I wish I didn't have to be here
It's not that bad
Could always be worse, yaknahmsayin'

All you gotta do, is stay in school
Anything you wanna do you could do yaknahmsayin' baby?
No matter what though
Gotta keep ya head up to the sky

This goes out to, all the infants
In this cold world that was born addicted
And to all the section eight kids
Just remember these four words y'all we gon' make it

The government keep on tryin' to fool us
The system, keep on tryin' to lose us
And all we can do is keep buyin' computers
And [Incomprehensible] all now 'fore it start goin' down

We gotta hold our head, keep our pride
Though it hurts when I see people sleep outside
Little babies with no socks on, eatin' popcorn
We all know what they moms and they pops on

Out go the love when the drugs come
They never got nuttin' for Christmas, and they ain't Muslim
This is a jewel, a lot of us was them
This is a jewel, a lot of us was them

Your head to the sky, my my, my
You can win, you can win if you keep your head
As long as you keep your head, your head to the sky
My my, my

Uhh, to my lock down *****z keep your head in the sky
To my shot down *****z keep your head in the sky
I don't know if it's better to ride, or better to die
And that's why there's red in my eye

'Cause people don't know what the ghetto is like
Either you make it out, or the terrible life
I don't wanna be a broke *******
And everybody in the hood got somebody in they fam' with a coke habit

You work for minimum wage
I'ma get in the game, get shot or a bid in the cage
It's a risk I gotta take and I'ma be the *****
With the bricks and the stash and the biscuit outta state

And even though I'm blessed with the gift
I gotta move 'cause the pain and the sickness gotta wait
I go extremely hard why let up?
And I can breathe long as I keep my head up

Your head to the sky
You can win
As long as you keep your head to the sky

Aiyyo I come from a place where it's three strikes out
And your life's on the line, so we iced out
Summertime gettin' money, three dice out
Tank tops, and jean shorts, we niked out

Headbands, and four wheelers
Jeeps and Coupes and convoys, about who know more killers
It's all wrong but it's all right
It's a small world, matter fact it's a small life

We all trip but the way to survive
Is hold your head and make sure you fall right
And it's a quite fact, that whatever goes around comes right back
It's just like that

And we tryin' to touch major paper
Everybody in the struggle it gets greater later
Never say can't, it's better to try
And you can breathe long as you keep your head in the sky

Your head to the sky
You can win
As long as you keep your head to the sky

Your head to the sky
You can win
As long as you keep your head to the sky

Your head to the sky
You can win
As long as you keep your head to the sky

Your head to the sky
You can win
As long as you keep your head to the sky
