Jhene Aiko Keep Your Head Up (Cover) SSR

The song “Keep Your Head Up” originated from rapper Tupac. Singer Jhene Aiko covered the song and I loved her version because she made the song sound so angelic, serene and full of passion. Jhene Aiko’s voice is so simple, but it makes you listen and want to hear more. When I heard this song covered by her, it really made me think about what’s been going on in the world. I love the part when she says “You know it makes me unhappy, When brothers have babies and leaves a young mother to be a pappy, And since we all came from a woman, Got our name from our woman, And our game from our woman”. I loves this part because it’s a real problem in the world because men are making babies and not caring for them. Children shouldn't have to grow up without a father because some men prefer to not take care of their responsibilities. I also don't understand how some men could just leave a woman all alone with their child when they were birthed by a woman. Men should have respect for woman because of that simple fact. I also love the part when she sings "I think it's time we kill for our woman, Heal our woman, Be real to our woman, Cuz if not we'll have a race of babies that'll 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". This part stuck to me because I never thought about it that way and I actually agree because if some men are going to act as if they don't have a child and just not take care of them, then they have no say so in if a woman has a baby or not. Woman are the ones that struggle to take care of the generations because men don't know how to be real men.

  6. This is a good example of analysis. Instead of just telling me what it means, you explain the importance of the song.
