Hold Your Head

Hey
Yeah
Umm

Hold your head, hold your head
Hold your head up high
I said, hold your head, hold your head
Cause one day we'll be alright
I'll be around, to hold you down
So, hold your head up high
I said, I'll be around, to hold you down
So, hold your head high

I said, hold your head my nigga don't frown
The devil looking for a homie or two with a crown
To be his bastard in waiting, preach satan
But tell that nigga that we ain't taking
We just caking, for the paper
And I understand the pressure that fester
When you can't support your girl so you feel lesser
And your momma at home wondering who you gonna be
A nigga that keeps his family afloat or drowns on zany
And you crying, cause all your niggas keep on dying
And you selling your soul to a job but them niggas ain't buying
Cause they don't care
Your teachers told you life ain't fare
Which is true, cause you could be anywhere but yet you here
No shade, but know my nigga you are brave
Because you come this far when so many before you have craved
And you could still be the man you always wanted be
I know you lost your father son, but you ain't far from the tree
Hold your head

Hold your head, hold your head
Hold your head up high
I said, hold your head, hold your head
Cause one day we'll be alright
I'll be around, to hold you down
So hold your head up high
I said, I'll be around, to hold you down
So hold your head high

One day, I caught my home girl feeling a way
About her image and appearance as I hit the doorway
She was crying, her nigga said that she wasn't worth the time
If she had two cents and fatter ass she would add up to a dime
And her hair, he wanted it to be as straight as Clair
And he acknowledged her black pride but wished her skin was fair
That's a quote
I told her that her niggas a joke
Cause if he couldn't see her beauty then his eyes is broke
She couldn't agree
She didn't see what I see
No matter how many times I told her she would tell me to flee
But I couldn't, cause girl I see it all in you
And even tho you mine I want to fall for you
Maybe I'm tripping
I think that my heart keep skipping
Cause I appreciate you more than what the public be sipping
But even if we can't be together know my heart with you
And hold your head high like the baddest bitch would do
Hold your head

Hold your head, hold your head
Hold your head up high
I said, hold your head, hold your head
Cause one day we'll be alright
I'll be around (Hey), to hold you down (Hey)
So hold your head up high (Yeah, yeah)
I said, I'll be around (Uh), to hold you down (Hey)
So hold your head high

I want you to hold your head
I want you to hold your head
I want you to hold your head
I want you to hold your head
I want you to hold your head
I want you to hold your head
I want you to hold your head
I want you to hold your head
Hey

I wasn't born to be perfect, just born me
I wasn't born to be perfect, just born me
I wasn't born to be perfect, just born me
I wasn't born to be perfect, just born me
I wasn't born to be perfect, just born me
I wasn't born to be perfect, just born me
I wasn't born to be perfect, just born me
I wasn't born to be perfect, just born me
Hey

Hold your head, hold your head
Hold your head up high
I said, hold your head, hold your head
Cause one day we'll be alright
I'll be around, to hold you down
So hold your head up high
I said, I'll be around, to hold you down
So hold your head high
