Queen Latifah - Keep Your Head To The Sky Lyrics

Ah yeah
Uh huh
Come on
Keep it going
Keep your head to the sky
We can all make it if we try

To all my peoples
Ghetto to ghetto
I feel your pain
Trapped in the game
Doing your best to maintain
Another day
Another dollar to make
Accumulating crumbs til you get a meal on your plate
Keep strivin' get more
I know what it's like
Life's hard to the core
I done seen cats killed over 50 cents
Women sellin their bodies because they gotta pay rent
I lost my brother but he's still in my heart
I know he watchin' over me
He the light when I'm in the dark
So I keep my head to the sky
I know we can all make it if we try
Live your life, yo

Oh, for always and forever (to my peeps in the field)
All my people's get my love
You gotta
Keep your head to the sky
We can all make it if we try
Keep your head to the sky
We can all make it if we try
Keep your head to the sky
We can all make it if we try

I know you wanna live life in the finest way
All you think about is your payday
Walkin' through the hood wit cha head up
Tryin' to make a come up cause you fed up
You wanna go from Ole E to Don P
Plannin' out how your future's gon' be
I believe in you kid, You did the bid
Now you back on the streets
So You playin' for keeps
And you makin' ends meets
Gotta do what you gotta do
Ain't nobody gon' give shit to you
Keep ya Hustle
True ballers ain't got time for frontin'
Stack yo grip
It ain't nothin'
Get somethin'

Ooh, for always and forever
(to my peeps takin them hard knocks, you know what you gotta do)
All my people's get my love
You gotta
Keep your head to the sky
We can all make it if we try
Keep your head to the sky
We can all make it if we try
Keep your head to the sky
We can all make it if we try

I was in your shoes before
On the streets gettin tossed
Way before
Living Single and Set it Off
But God came across my life
And molded me
Into the queen that I was supposed to be
And my moms stayed close to me
Through the rough times, through the tough times
When I used to bust rhymes
On the streets in New Jerz
I live for hip hop
I'm in it for life
It don't Stop
Keep your heart on your dreams
And make them come true
Control your destiny
It's all about you
You can make it through
So don't stop, kid
That's my word
I'll see you at the top, kid

Oh, for always and forever
(to my peeps walkin' with pain, you know what you gotta do)
All my people's get my love
You gotta
Keep your head to the sky
We can all make it if we try
Keep your head to the sky
We can all make it if we try
Keep your head to the sky
We can all make it if we try
Oh, For always and forever
Oh, For always and forever
Oh, For always and forever
Oh, For always and forever
All my people's get my love
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
