girls, keep your HEAD UP

Hola! happy friday :D 
I want to post a very special special song, that never gets old! it is "Keep your head up" by Tupac Shakur! its absolutely AMAZING, the words are BEAUTIFUL and it is nice to see a rapper speak in such a  way about women, usually rappers have a reputation of being very disrespectful to girls, refer to them as just materials or tools like their cars and houses and so on. and they also seem to LOVE to refer to us as the "B-word" and the crazy thing about this is, most of girls are OKAY with that?!? um excuse me? but I AM NOT JUST A TOOL. this is why I love Islam so much, people (who dont know anything about Islam) usually say in Islam is a religion full of oppressed women? uhm, unless you can go read the Quran and search for your self than you have the right to make such an assumption, anyhow, Islam is the only "way of life" that gives us Women so many rights, describes us as the most treasured ones, and the our Prophet said that "the best of you, are those best to your wives" and much much more, I love this religion for giving us the rights we deserve, and just because some Arab somewhere is not following Islam properly and take his wife as a prisoner somewhere does not mean it has anything to do with ISLAM. 
anyways I got a little off topic haha, but heres the song enjoy <3 

 this is verse one of the lyrics, for the rest of the lyrics click HERE

Some say the blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice
I say the darker the flesh then the deeper the roots
I give a holler to my sisters on welfare
Tupac cares, if don't nobody else care
And uhh, I know they like to beat ya down a lot
When you come around the block brothas clown a lot
But please don't cry, dry your eyes, never let up
Forgive but don't forget, girl keep your head up
And when he tells you you ain't nuttin don't believe him
And if he can't learn to love you you should leave him
Cause sista you don't need him
And I ain't tryin to gas ya up, I just call em how I see em
You know it makes me unhappy (what's that)
When brothas make babies, and leave a young mother to be a pappy
And since we all came from a woman
Got our name from a woman and our game from a woman
I wonder why we take from our women
Why we rape our women, do we hate our women?
I think it's time to kill for our women
Time to heal our women, be real to our women
And if we don't we'll have a race of babies
That will hate the ladies, that make the babies
And since a man can't make one
He has no right to tell a woman when and where to create one
So will the real men get up
I know you're fed up ladies, but keep your head up


XOXO-SL
