Keep Your Head Up
Riffs & Rays Lyrics

Whoaa, I see you walking with your head down girl,
I notice that you're feeling down and discouraged.

Come here, whoa, lemme lift your spirits up, aight.
Let me uplift and encourage you.

I got something on my mind I want to tell you.
I have some thoughts and advice that I want to share with you.

Girl, when you down and when you out, you feeling low.
When you're feeling down and struggling.

Keep your head up baby.
Stay positive and resilient.

Girl, I can see, you've been going through some things,
I can see that you've been facing difficulties.

Walking head down, cause you feel so much pain.
Walking with your head down because of the pain you feel.

Blaming yourself, when it ain't even that way.
Taking unnecessary blame when it's not your fault.

Girl, why can't you see it's time for a change.
Why can't you realize that it's time for things to change?

It's why I'm talking to you, I want to show the way.
That's why I'm speaking to you, I want to guide you.

You don't have to, go through this one more day.
You don't have to endure this any longer.

If you take control, you dunno how far you go.
If you take charge, you have no idea how far you can go.

Girl, listen to me, I'm telling you good things.
Pay attention to what I'm saying, I'm giving you positive advice.

Don't you understand me, I'm talking from my heart right now.
Don't you grasp the sincerity of my words, I'm speaking from my heart.

Start doing things the right way, please do it that way.
Begin doing things correctly, please follow that path.

No matter what the world say, Keep on doing your things,
Regardless of what others say, continue pursuing your goals.

Sometimes it won't be easy, but girl I got a message for you.
Sometimes it will be challenging, but I have a message for you.

Keep your head up to the sky and I promise you,
Remain optimistic and I assure you,

Promise you'll get by, baby girl believe me,
I promise you will overcome, trust me.

I know you're going through hard times, but you don't have to cry.
I understand that you're facing tough times, but there's no need to cry.

Just keep your head up high.
Simply maintain a positive mindset.

I know it's hard to, to raise a kid on your own.
I know it's difficult to raise a child by yourself.

I know it takes two, you didn't make alone.
I know it takes two people, you didn't create a child alone.

But his daddy's gone, and we know daddy's dead wrong,
But the child's father is absent, and we know he's made a mistake.

But you gotta keep, making those ends meet(yes, you do).
But you have to continue finding a way to make ends meet.

And girl, I know, you can do it by yourself,
And girl, I know that you are capable of doing it alone.

Even though sometimes you feel like screaming for help.
Even though there are times when you want to cry out for assistance.

It won't be long til the hurt is gone.
It won't be long until the pain fades away.

Girl, I'm telling you, see I know what to do.
Girl, I'm assuring you, because I know the right path.

If you want to treat me, I'm singing this for you.
If you want to repay me, I'm singing this for you.

Even though sometimes won't treat you good.
Even though life may not always treat you well.

Keep your head up to the sky and I promise you,
Remain optimistic and I assure you,

Promise you'll get by, baby girl believe me,
I promise you will overcome, trust me.

And When you're going through hard times, you don't have to cry.
And when you're facing difficult moments, there's no need to cry.

Just keep your head up high.
Simply maintain a positive mindset.

Oh, whoa, whoa [til end]
Oh, expressing emotions and support.
