Keep Your Head by The B.L.U.N.T.E.D. Crew Lyrics

Genre: rap | Year: 1999

[Verse 1]
Yo, yo; Sometimes when I be chillin' writin' my rhymes
I recollect for a second "Can I find a peace of mind?"
Theese streets'll have you stressed out, without no doubt
Chilling in two places stay pay in the crackhouse
I keep the trap mouth for 'round those whose line
Can't afford the cord no for the pricing I be buying
I'm trying maintain, and keep it safe
Frame of mind so negativity can't break my brain
It's time to make a stand, although I'm only one man I got a voice
That goes about a million strong
Brothers we've got the game twisted, doing it wrong
One of the reasons why our people don’t get along
I hope we get ourselves together, don't let time prolong
You can wake up in morning and it all be gone
Word is bond, it's getting on a critical tip
And you ain't really ready for that microchip
Or some nice man to take you on a long-ass trip
And have you working in on some concentration camp type shit
But nevertheless you have to weather the storm
And... Keep on!
[Hook x2]
Keep your head, don't loose your mind
I know life can be hard sometimes
But you've got to persevere and weather the storm
Just, keep on!

[Verse 2]
Yo, through out twenty five years of stress and frustration
The government's trying to make drugs my occupation
Avoid that temptation, for falling on crack
'Cause once you take an L, it's hard bounce back
Announce facts, do mics when the mind is lit
And B.L.U.N.T.E.D. is on some other shit
And we loving it, with the unmatched ability
Mad fuckin' style that show our versatility
Cats be feeling me 'cause what I speeks the truth
And the message that I try to give across to the youth
Keep your head steady and always be ready
For weak-ass niggas how who rip trees to confetti
It's real petty, but you got to persevere
And be the last standing when the guns smoke clear
I fear in the year 2G it's gonna be, a government plan
To get rid of you and me
But we soon to see what the future bring
And to all my black people as queens and kings
We must, stand together in this time of need
And stop the backstabbing, jealousy and greed
Living lifes fucked up, but it's better then dead, so..
Keep your head!
[Hook x2]
Keep your head, don't loose your mind
I know life can be hard sometimes
But you've got to persevere and weather the storm
Just, keep on!

[Verse 3]
It's time for me to accept
Responsibility it's the way on my shoulders
Time goes by, I get older
And wiser and realize it's a blessing I'm here
I a family member that are grew up with disappear
From gunshots to stab wounds, unprotected sex
Now they lived they life to me and breathe my breath
For that? I can't rest!
Me being the oldest grand in my fam I got a precedence to sess
So my younger coursing can follow my first step
You don't have to do what I do but just progress
Plus I've got a younger sister, I gotta put a deal with
The tricks in the trade the brothers just tryna hit
And run, twenty-five years young
And have to stay jail my life in feels like I just begun
To lay down a foundation for future generations
They don't have to struggle, hustle and face incarceration
Tasting bullshit job and deal with discrimination
I want them to have choice, pick and choose your occupation
Start your own business enterprise throughout the nation
Nothing less then power moves making, so!
[Hook x2]
Keep your head, don't loose your mind
I know life can be hard sometimes
But you've got to persevere and weather the storm
So.. Keep on!
