Keep Your Head To The Sky
[Verse 1:Danny!] Nice girl, the type to wife up A queen with a smile that could light the night up Her dreams are a mile high cream-colored pile She ain't sing in a while but ignites the mic, yup She really wanted to pursue a deal So that her dreams'll come true for real, self-esteem low Her momma told her she's fat, the hell does she know? Nobody told her that the haters smell defeat yo To hear her tell it helpin' someone else's dreams though Is more fulfilling, what she feelin' inside Is pretty obvious to everyone, she's livin' a lie But she don't possess the confidence to give it a try You would figure her fam would be her biggest fans But all they do is insult her and make her quit her plans They tell her 'channel that energy try to get a man' So she don't give a damn Throw herself into chores Forever moppin' the floors, until it's spick-and-span How many times you gon' mop that? ...stop that God has better things in store and it's not that
[Verse 1: Collette] When in the midst of sorrow You can't see up when looking down A brighter day tomorrow will bring You hear the voice of reason Telling you this can't never be done No matter how hard reality seems You just hold on to your dreams
[Bridge: Collette] Don't give up and don't give in Although it seems you never win You will always pass the test
[Chorus: Collette] As long as you keep your head to the sky You can win as long as you keep your head to the sky You can win as long as you keep your head to the sky Be optimistic
[Verse 2: Danny!] Two kids, Ahmad and Winston Their pops not around so the odds against 'em Their mom workin' three jobs, never stay at home And the younger brother feelin' maybe God resents 'em Girls like the way he makes 'em feel But with a pen he's a pimp for real, no opportunties Bitter brother, always sayin' 'poppa ruined me' Never got a phone call, never got annuity Never got a postcard, so that gave him Every reason not to try so hard, he's an ill writer Still tighter than the kids in his class He'd rather sit on his ass cause he don't feel as hyper As everybody steady tellin' him to get away Send out some resumes, all he ever says is 'hey, Listen, you guys are buggin' out, while y'all care so much?' It was easier for him to use his dad as a crutch Nowadays, you can find him smokin' grass from a dutch How many times is you gonna get high man? God has bigger plans but you gotta just try man
[Verse 2: Collette] If things around you crumble No you don't have to stumble and fall Keep pushing on and don't you look back I know the storms and strife Cloud up your outlook on life Just look ahead and you'll be inspired To reach higher and higher
[Bridge: Collette] You will always do your best If you learn to never say never You maybe down but never out (See that's what optimism does) Don't give up and don't give in Although it seems you never win You will always pass the test
[Chorus]- 2X
