Keep ya change
p.h Lyrics

Baby don't cry
Don't be upset

I hope you got your head up
I hope you are staying positive

Even when the road is hard, never give up
Keep pushing, even when things are tough

Now here's a story 'bout a woman with dreams
Let me tell you a story about a woman with hopes and aspirations

So picture perfect at thirteen, an ebony queen
She was an attractive young girl at thirteen years old

Beneath the surface it was more than just a crooked smile
Despite her attractive appearance, she had underlying struggles

Nobody knew about her secret so it took a while
She kept her struggles hidden from others

I could see a tear fall slow down her black cheek
I saw her cry

Sheddin' quiet tears in the back seat
She was crying silently in the back of a car

So when she asked me: "What would you do if it was you?"
She asked for my opinion on what she should do

Couldn't answer such a horrible pain to live through
I couldn't imagine going through something that terrible

I tried to trade places in the tragedy
I attempted to put myself in her shoes

I couldn't picture three crazed niggas grabbin' me
I couldn't imagine being attacked by three men

For just a moment I was trapped in the pain
I briefly felt her emotional pain

Lord, come and take me
Take me out of this situation

Four niggas violated
Four men sexually assaulted her

They chased, and they raped me
They pursued and sexually assaulted me

Even though it wasn't me, I could feel the grief
Even though I wasn't the victim, I empathized with her sorrow

Thinkin' with your brains blown that would make the pain go
Suicide is not a solution to the pain

No! You got to find a way to survive
You must find a way to persevere

'Cause they win when your soul dies
Don't let the attackers win by allowing them to destroy your spirit

Forget him, girl, (forget him, girl) he ain't gon' never change
Don't waste your time on a man who won't change

I ain't no hater, but that nigga lost in the game
I don't dislike him, but he is caught up in a lifestyle that isn't good for him

After the bright lights and big thangs
After experiencing fame and success

He probably could love you, but he in love with the struggle
He might love you, but he is more invested in the challenges he faces

Everyday, his mind on gettin mo' (gettin' mo')
He is focused on accumulating more wealth

And never your feelings, he's chasin' millions fo' sho'
He is prioritizing money over your emotions

You got too much mo' livin' to do
You have more to experience in life

I'm spittin' this to you
I'm telling you this

'Cause you deserve more than what he givin' to you (that's right)
You deserve someone who will treat you better than he does

Beautiful, black, precious, and complicated
You are a beautiful, valuable, and complex individual

A new millennium dime-piece, so fine she
You are a stunning woman for this era

Got 'em all stuck, standin' still when she come through
You leave a lasting impression on people

Baby, take a little mo' time
Be patient and wait a little longer

Love'll find you and show us the sky's blue
You will find love and happiness that will brighten your days

Somebody other than me gon' give you everything you need, feel me? (Don't cry)
Someone else will give you what you require in a partner

I'm tryin' to do all that I can, from jump
I'm doing everything I can from the beginning

Now you losin', you was choosin' the wrong man
You were making a mistake by choosing him

Dealt the wrong hand, you was young and beautiful
You had poor luck and were young and attractive

Lost and turned out, what you let that nigga do to you? (Damn)
You became misguided, what did that man do to you?

I knew her since elementary, she blew a kiss to me
I have known her since elementary school and she once showed affection towards me

Wrote me a note in crayon, wantin' to get with me
She expressed interest in dating me as a child

We was kids, now she got three kids
We were once children, but now she has three children

They see their father e'ryday, and they don't know who he is
Her children don't know their father despite seeing him every day

Seen him last night, homey roll a E-class
I saw him last night driving an E-class car

Mad cheese in the stash, still a deadbeat dad
He has a lot of money saved, but is still an absentee father

I bring her Pampers and food, just to stop through
I visit her to bring her baby supplies

But those ain't my seeds, nothin' really I could do (nah)
The children aren't mine, so there isn't much I can do to help

I feel pity for you, you ain't even his wife
I feel sorry for you, you aren't even married to him

Seventeen with three kids
She is only seventeen years old with three children

Locked down for life
She is stuck in this situation forever

Shoulda chose me
She should have picked me instead of him

She 'bout to O.D. from the pressure
She is about to crack under the stress

Hell nah, I won't let her
No, I will not allow that to happen

For all the ladies (Soulshock, Karlin)
This is for all of the women

Got to keep your head up {keep your head up}
You have to stay positive

(Head up)
Stay strong

Aight?
Understood?
