when he tells you, you aint nothin,
don’t believe him. And
if he can’t learn to love you,
you should leave him.
Cuz sista you don’t need him.
“Keep Ya Head Up”
~TUPAC~
I always say Tupac was ahead of his time. If you listen really closely to “Keep Ya Head Up” the lyrics are REAL, speaking clearly on topics, and various issues making commentary on the suffering and disrespect of women as he covers issues in our society. His song is meant to be an encouragement to black women and to inspire black men to rise up, do better, protect; and respect the ladies. I think this is not just for black women but for all women, and men in general. I am so inspired by the amazing great lines, he spoke about the future, with a swift smoothness of his voice speaking, the music, the beat. He raps…
“You know what makes me unhappy, what’s that. When brotha’s make babies; and leave a young mother be a pappy.”
“And since we all came from a woman, got our name from a woman, and our game from a woman.
I wonder why we take from our women, why we rape our women, do we hate our women? I think it’s time to kill for our women. Time to heal our women, be real to our women.”

Because if men don’t improve, he warns about what is happening today as it seems to have come into existence. I believe he’s referring, talking about these grown and young men who spew hate towards women in groups like the “manosphere” and the “Kevin Samuels” movement on social media as they spread their poison from one to another. It’s a shame because it makes me think and feel like men are nothing more than our predators. Men need sex like they need food to eat and water to drink but women only go as far as to desire it but could live without it. So with that in mind it seems like we women have to be stronger and stand up for ourselves even more and be careful with who we lie down with. He raps…
“And if we don’t well have a race of babies that will hate the ladies, that make the babies.”
He raps…
“And since a man can’t make one, he has no right to tell a woman when and where to create one.”
“so will the real men get up, I know you’re fed up ladies but keep ya head up.”
~~~
Also the fact that everywhere you turn there is a huge amount of the homeless peoples camped out somewhere. He raps…
“You know it’s funny when it rains it pours, they got money for wars, but can’t feed the poor.”
“We aint meant to survive, coz it’s a setup. And even though you’re fed up huh, ya gotta keep ya head up.”
~~~
As for me, I am saddened as I see the level of domestic violence women have to suffer today all over the world as things aren’t getting any better it seems. But throughout the song, he encourages women to keep their heads up, things will get better.
