Danny! - Keep Your Head To The Sky

[Verse 1: Danny!]

Nice girl, the type to wife up

A queen with a smile that could light the night up

Her dreams are a mile high cream-colored pile

She ain't sing in a while but ignites the mic, yup

She really wanted to pursue a deal

So that her dreams'll come true for real, self-esteem low

Her momma told her she's fat, the hell does she know?

Nobody told her that the haters smell defeat yo

To hear her tell it helpin' someone else's dreams though

Is more fulfilling, what she feelin' inside

Is pretty obvious to everyone, she's livin' a lie

But she don't possess the confidence to give it a try

You would figure her fam would be her biggest fans

But all they do is insult her and make her quit her plans

They tell her "channel that energy try to get a man"

So she don't give a damn

Throw herself into chores

Forever moppin' the floors, until it's spick-and-span

How many times you gon' mop that? ...stop that

God has better things in store and it's not that

[Verse 1: Collette]

When in the midst of sorrow

You can't see up when looking down

A brighter day tomorrow will bring

You hear the voice of reason

Telling you this can't never be done

No matter how hard reality seems

You just hold on to your dreams

[Bridge: Collette]

Don't give up and don't give in

Although it seems you never win

You will always pass the test

[Chorus: Collette]

As long as you keep your head to the sky

You can win as long as you keep your head to the sky

You can win as long as you keep your head to the sky

Be optimistic

[Verse 2: Danny!]

Two kids, Ahmad and Winston

Their pops not around so the odds against 'em

Their mom workin' three jobs, never stay at home

And the younger brother feelin' maybe God resents 'em

Girls like the way he makes 'em feel

But with a pen he's a pimp for real, no opportunties

Bitter brother, always sayin' "poppa ruined me"

Never got a phone call, never got annuity

Never got a postcard, so that gave him

Every reason not to try so hard, he's an ill writer

Still tighter than the kids in his class

He'd rather sit on his ass cause he don't feel as hyper

As everybody steady tellin' him to get away

Send out some resumes, all he ever says is "hey,

Listen, you guys are buggin' out, while y'all care so much?"

It was easier for him to use his dad as a crutch

Nowadays, you can find him smokin' grass from a dutch

How many times is you gonna get high man?

God has bigger plans but you gotta just try man

[Verse 2: Collette]

If things around you crumble

No you don't have to stumble and fall

Keep pushing on and don't you look back

I know the storms and strife

Cloud up your outlook on life

Just look ahead and you'll be inspired

To reach higher and higher

[Bridge: Collette]

You will always do your best

If you learn to never say never

You maybe down but never out

(See that's what optimism does)

Don't give up and don't give in

Although it seems you never win

You will always pass the test
