Put Ya Hands Up (remix) Lyrics

Put Ya Hands Up (remix) lyrics

[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 school

 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
