[Intro: Nesh]
Oooh, ohh, yeah
[Hook: Nesh]
Keep your head up to the sky
Determination in your eyes
You can hold me when it's cold
If you can only let me know, oh
[Verse 1: Ms. Jade]
Young girl lost, when is you gonna learn to love yourself
To trust him mean that you can't even trust yourself
He was a dog when you met him now you mad as shit
You can't change that man what you see is what you get
And just because he throw you out don't let him walk over you
Have some pride you're a woman make him respect you
Brought bitches for him, took a couple stitches for him
He at his baby mom house while you wash his dishes for him
How you gon' play, believe anything he say
Choose him over your family on any given day
I could tell you not happy crying yourself to sleep
Gotta hit out on his ass you still pushing his jeep
Your career ain't pursuing it
When miserable what's love got to do with it?
I know it's hard but you gotta do what's right for you
See can't nobody hurl over obstacles in life but you
[Hook: Nesh]
Keep your head up to the sky
Determination in your eyes
You can hold me when it's cold
If you can only let me know, oh
[Verse 2: Ms. Jade]
Makes no sense, what us ladies gotta put up with
The backbone of ya niggas and we put up with
Everything, we hold y'all down when times is bad
Fuckin sis for two years, now you know you're the dad
Tryna escape responsibilities, be a man
And you won't even take a blood test, nigga, you ain't a man
Lie after lie, said you'd always be there
That's fucked up cos the baby ain't asked to be here
Man she gotta struggle, shakin her ass in a thong
Tryna make ends meet, stressed out all alone
Scraping up pamper money, tryna keep her head focused
Hard to stay strong when better days seem hopeless
Everything happens for a reason, it was written
Tried to make you stumble in this game but you didn't
Might seem tough but it will be alright girl
Get it together, do your thing, live your life girl
[Hook: Nesh]
Keep your head up to the sky
Determination in your eyes
You can hold me when it's cold
If you can only let me know, oh
[Verse 3: Ms. Jade]
Got turned out, now you went and got loose at the panties
Went from weed to pills to coppin nose candies
Ain't had a siege yet but you headed for the grave
Screwin everybody, don't give a shit about AIDS
Lettin niggas run through you and use you up
You don't know that shit could mentally abuse you up
A free suck in a big truck
Neighborhood niggas callin' you a free fuck
Your grandmother havin' thoughts of gettin rid of you
Your mom's smokin, you whorin, that's pitiful
All kinds of thoughts is goin through your head make a change
Ain't used it in a long time but you got a brain
Get yourself together, ma, you better straighten up
It's hard as shit on your own, plus you growin up
Go to school, get a job, make your own cash
Do what them niggas gon' say when you walk past
[Hook: Nesh]
Keep your head up to the sky
Determination in your eyes
You can hold me when it's cold
If you can only let me know, oh
[Outro: Nesh]
