[Intro] Ooh child, things are going to get easier Ooh child, things will get brighter Better days, better days Better days, better days Keep your head up Better days, better days Better days, better days Keep your head up [Verse 1] She grew up in Brooklyn The Eastside and fulton street Never knew her father, he got shot hustling She started acting much older Her mother couldn't control her Losing direction, started sex'n, no protection [Chorus] And now she's expecting A life she wasn't ready for She's feeling rejected And her future's unsure And if you want Run out there on your own Don't give up sunshine There will be better days (Keep your head up) Gotta keep movin' on To raise a child alone Don't give up sunshine There will be better days (Keep your head up) [Verse 2] Are you down with full time On weekends stripping? So you met baller, but ain't down but trick'n Gonna have to put your kid through school Guess you hit snotty love for you And you know your wrong girl You gotta believe [Chorus] [Outro] It's gonna be alright You gotta keep your head up Think about it now (Keep your head up) To my young sisters, it's gonna be alright You gotta keep your head up Oh she's so young [?] And if you want Run out there on your own Don't give up sunshine There will be better days (Keep your head up) Gotta keep movin' on To raise a child alone Don't give up sunshine There will be better days (Keep your head up) And if you want Run out there on your own Don't give up sunshine There will be better days (Keep your head up) Gotta keep movin' on To raise a child alone Don't give up sunshine There will be better days (Keep your head up)
