[Verse]
SAome say the blacker the berry, thAme sweeter the juice IG#m say the darker the flesh, then the deeper the roots I give a hoAlla to my sisters on welfAmaj7are Aiko cares, but G#m7don't nobody else care IAmaj7 know they like to beat you down a lot When you coG#m7me around the block, brothers clown a lot But pleaAmaj7se don't cry, dry your Emaj7eyes, never let up ForgiG#mve, but don't forget, girl, keep ya head up And wAmaj7hen he tells you you ain't notCm7hin', don't believe him
And if he can't learn to love you, you should leave him
âCause, Amaj7sister, you don't need him And I ain't tG#m7ryin' to gas you up, I just call 'em how I see 'em YAmaj7ou know what makes me unhappy? When brothers make baG#m7bies
And leave a young mother to be a pappy
AndAmaj7 since we all came from a woman Got our nG#mame from a woman and our game from a woman Amaj7I wonder why we take from our women Why we raG#mpe our women â do we hate our women? IAmaj7 think it's time to kill for our women Time to heG#mal our women, be real to our women AAmaj7nd if we don't we'll have a race of babies That will hG#mate the ladies that make the babies C#mAnd since a man can't make one He has no rG#might to tell a woman when and where to create one C#mSo will the real men get up? I know you're fG#med up, ladies, yeah, but keep yaAmaj7 head up
[Outro]
TG#mhings are gonna get easier AmOoh, child, things'll getG#m7 brighter
Keep ya head up (uh) Things are gonna get easier Ooh, child, things'll get brighter Keep ya head up Things are gonna get easier Ooh, child, things'll get brighter (aye) Things are gonna get easier Ooh, child, things'll get brighter Keep ya head up Keep ya head up Things'll get brighter
