Hold Ya Head
Tupac

My homeboys in Clinton and Rikers Island

All the penitentiaries

Mumia, Mutulu, Geronimo, Sekon

All the political prisoners

San Quentin, who can save you, all the jail houses

I'm with you


Yeah, one thug, one thug

You're listenin' to the sounds of one, thug

(How do we keep the music playing?)

One thug, one thug

You're listenin' to the sounds of

(How do we get ahead?)


I wake up early in the mornin', mindstate so military

Suckers fantasizin' pictures of a young brother buried

Was it me, the weed or this life I lead

If daytime is for suckers then tonight we bleed


Out for all that, knowin' that this world bring drawbacks

Look how this shit, bump, once I deliver these raw raps

Meet me at the cemetery dressed in black

Tonight we, honor the dead, those who won't be back


So if I die, do the same for me, shed no tears

An Outlaw, thug livin' in this game for years

Why worry, hope to God, get me high when I'm buried

Knowin' deep inside only a few love me


Come rush me to the gates of Heaven, let me picture for a while

How I lived for my days as a child, I wonder now

How do we outlast, always get cash

Stay strong if we all mash, hold ya head


How do we keep the music playing

(Yes, you got to hold ya head)

How do we get ahead

(Hold your head)

Too many young black brothers are dying

(Yes, you got to hold ya head)

Livin' fast, too fast


Yo, these felonies be like prophecies beggin' me to stop

'Cause these lawyers gettin' money every time they knock us

Snatchin' pockets lyrically, suckers flea when they notice

Switched my name to Makaveli, half the rap game closed


Exposed foes with my hocus pocus flows they froze

Now suckers idolize my, chosen blows

And mo' money mean litigatin, mo' playa hatin'

Got a cell at the pen for me waitin', is this my fate?


Miss me with that misdemeanor thinkin', me fall back?

Never that, too much Tequila drinkin', we all that

Make them understand me, if not I slang my posse

Everyone with me is family 'cause everybody's got me


Watch me paint a perfect vision, this life we livin'

Got us all meetin' up in prison

Last week I got a letter from my road dog, written in blood

Saying, Please show a playa love, hold ya head, hold it


How do we keep the music playing

(Yes, you got to hold ya head)

How do we get ahead

(Hold your head)

Too many young black brothers are dying

(Yes, you got to hold ya head)

Livin' fast, too fast


The weed got me tweakin' in my mind, I'm thinkin'

God bless the child that can hold his own

Indeed, enemies bleed when I hold my chrome

Let these words be the last to my unborn seeds


Hope to raise my young nation in this world of greed

Currency means nothin' if you still ain't free

Money breeds jealousy, take the game from me

I hope for better days, trouble comes naturally


Running from authorities 'til they capture me

And my, aim is to spread mo' smiles than tears

Utilalize lessons learned from my childhood years

Maybe Mama had it all right, rest yo' head


Tradin' conversation all night, bless the dead

To my homies that I used to have that no longer roll

Catch a brother at the crossroads

Plus nobody knows my soul, watchin' time pass

Through the glass of my drop top Rolls, hold ya head


How do we keep the music playing

(Yes, you got to hold ya head)

How do we get ahead

(No matter how hard it get, feel me, come on)

(Hold your head)


Too many young black brothers are dying

(Get the weed, drink a drink, read a book)

(Yes, you got to hold ya head)

Livin' fast, too fast

(Watch the stars, get some pussy, whatever)


How do we keep the music playing

(Yes, you got to hold ya head)

How do we get ahead
