Danny! - Keep Your Head To The Sky Lyrics
[Verse 1: Danny!]Nice girl, the type to wife upA queen with a smile that could light the night upHer dreams are a mile high cream-colored pileShe ain't sing in a while but ignites the mic, yupShe really wanted to pursue a dealSo that her dreams'll come true for real, self-esteem lowHer momma told her she's fat, the hell does she know?Nobody told her that the haters smell defeat yoTo hear her tell it helpin' someone else's dreams thoughIs more fulfilling, what she feelin' insideIs pretty obvious to everyone, she's livin' a lieBut she don't possess the confidence to give it a tryYou would figure her fam would be her biggest fansBut all they do is insult her and make her quit her plansThey tell her "channel that energy try to get a man"So she don't give a damnThrow herself into choresForever moppin' the floors, until it's spick-and-spanHow many times you gon' mop that? ...stop thatGod has better things in store and it's not that[Verse 1: Collette]When in the midst of sorrowYou can't see up when looking downA brighter day tomorrow will bringYou hear the voice of reasonTelling you this can't never be doneNo matter how hard reality seemsYou just hold on to your dreams[Bridge: Collette]Don't give up and don't give inAlthough it seems you never winYou will always pass the test[Chorus: Collette]As long as you keep your head to the skyYou can win as long as you keep your head to the skyYou can win as long as you keep your head to the skyBe optimistic[Verse 2: Danny!]Two kids, Ahmad and WinstonTheir pops not around so the odds against 'emTheir mom workin' three jobs, never stay at homeAnd the younger brother feelin' maybe God resents 'emGirls like the way he makes 'em feelBut with a pen he's a pimp for real, no opportuntiesBitter brother, always sayin' "poppa ruined me"Never got a phone call, never got annuityNever got a postcard, so that gave himEvery reason not to try so hard, he's an ill writerStill tighter than the kids in his classHe'd rather sit on his ass cause he don't feel as hyperAs everybody steady tellin' him to get awaySend out some resumes, all he ever says is "hey,Listen, you guys are buggin' out, while y'all care so much?"It was easier for him to use his dad as a crutchNowadays, you can find him smokin' grass from a dutchHow many times is you gonna get high man?God has bigger plans but you gotta just try man[Verse 2: Collette]If things around you crumbleNo you don't have to stumble and fallKeep pushing on and don't you look backI know the storms and strifeCloud up your outlook on lifeJust look ahead and you'll be inspiredTo reach higher and higher[Bridge: Collette]You will always do your bestIf you learn to never say neverYou maybe down but never out(See that's what optimism does)Don't give up and don't give inAlthough it seems you never winYou will always pass the test- 2X
