Keep Ya Head Up

Keep Ya Head Up We get in the grip of governments scheme While we pretend to hold hands in the land of mean Sporting new clothes & attire What is my hearts burning desire Through a whole host of chorus that sings Let's rejoice & toast to the king of kings Keep ya head up even in social demise One word to the wise it's best to surprise Rise up ole man of God through the shutters A peril of merciful fate on a latent desire Through the stained glass window of saints gone before We keep on knocking on heaven's door A whole host of emotions lest I implore the opened door Shattered glass a move to fast out on the village scene Through viscious insults we evoke the pages in between In times of trouble fighting back the tears from my eyes It is no surprise that the late Tupac would promote Keep ya head up through the pale stars at night Never to relent in ever giving up on the fight Through voices in the mere madness with riots in the street A soldier cry's as a mortar is next to his feet There's only one chance at this life to never repeat With a line being drawn in the sand when will we understand
