   {*kid trying to sound like he's crying*}
  
  [Jadakiss] Whattup little man? What's the matter?
  [lil' man] I wish I didn't have to be here
  [Jadakiss] It's not that bad..
  Could always be worse, yaknahmsayin?
  All you gotta do, is stay in scohol
  Anything you wanna do you could do yaknahmsayin baby?
  No matter what though, gotta keep your head up to the sky
  
  [Jadakiss]
  This goes out to, all the infants
  in this cold world that was born addicted
  And to all the section eight kids
  Just remember these four words y'all - we gon' make it
  The government keep on tryin to fool us
  The system, keep on tryin to lose us
  And all we can do is keep buyin computers
  And (?) all now 'fore it start goin down
  We gotta hold our head, keep our pride
  Though it hurts when I see people sleep outside
  Little babies with no socks on, eatin popcorn
  We all know what they moms and they pops on
  Out go the love when the drugs come
  They never got nuttin for Christmas, and they ain't Muslim
  This is a jewel, a lot of us was them
  This is a jewel, a lot of us was them
  
  [Chorus: Ann Nesby]
  Your head to the sky.. my my, my
  You can win - you can win - if you keep your head
  As long as you keep - your head - your head to the sky
  My my, my..
  
  [Jadakiss]
  Uhh, to my lockdown niggaz keep your head in the sky
  To my shot down niggaz keep your head in the sky
  I don't know if it's better to ride, or better to die
  And that's why there's red in my eye
  Cause people don't know what the ghetto is like
  Either you make it out, or the terrible life
  I don't wanna be a broke bastard
  And everybody in the hood got somebody in they fam' with a coke habit
  You work for minimum wage
  I'ma get in the game, get shot or a bid in the cage
  It's a risk I gotta take - and I'ma be the nigga
  with the bricks and the stash and the biscuit outta state
  And even though I'm blessed with the gift
  I gotta move cause the pain and the sickness gotta wait
  I go extremely hard - why let up?
  And I can breathe long as I keep my head up
  
  [Chorus] w/ minor variations
  
  [Jadakiss]
  Uhh, uhh - uh-huh, uhh - uh..
  Aiyyo I come from a place where it's three strikes out
  And your life's on the line, so we iced out
  Summertime gettin money, three dice out
  Tanktops, and jean shorts, we Niked out
  Headbands, and four wheelers
  Jeeps and Coupes and convos, about who know more killers
  It's all wrong but it's all right
  It's a small world; matter fact it's a small life
  We all trip but the way to survive
  is hold your head and make sure you fall right
  And it's a quite fact, that whatever goes around comes right back
  It's just like that
  And we tryin to touch major paper
  Everybody in the struggle it gets greater later
  Never say can't, it's better to try
  And you can breathe long as you keep your head in the sky
  
  [Ann Nesby]
  Don't you let nobody stop you, mm
  Heyy, heyyy, yeahhh!
  
  [Chorus] - 2X w/ variations
