2Pac - Keep Ya Head Up [WWW.ETOILE.APP]0899 by eXploration Etoile

1

Little somethin' for my godson Elijah and a little girl named Corin

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 uh, 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 don't need him)

You know me makes me unhappy? (What's that?)

When brothas make babies

And leave a young mother to be a pappy (oh, yeah, yeah, yeah)

And since we all came from a woman

Got our name from a woman and our game from a woman (yeah, yeah)

I wonder why we take from our women

Why we rape our women, do we hate our women? (Why? Why?)

I think it's time to kill for our women (why? Why? Why? Why?)

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 (oh, yeah, baby)

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

Keep ya head up, ooh, child, things are gonna get easier

Keep-keep ya head up, ooh, child, things'll get brighter (ohh)

Keep ya head up, ooh, child, things are gonna get easier

Keep-keep ya head up, ooh, child, things'll get brighter

Ayo, I remember Marvin Gaye, used to sing to me

He had me feelin' like black was the thing to be

And suddenly the ghetto didn't seem so tough

And though we had it rough, we always had enough

I huffed and puffed about my curfew and broke the rules

Ran with the local crew, and had a smoke or two

And I realize momma really paid the price

She nearly gave her life, to raise me right (oh, yeah)

And all I had to give her was my pipe dream (yeah, yeah, yeah)

Of how I'd rock the mic, and make it to the bright screen

I'm tryin' to make a dollar out of fifteen cents

It's hard to be legit and still pay your rent

And in the end it seems I'm headin' for the pen

I try and find my friends, but they're blowin' in the wind

Last night my buddy lost his whole family

It's gonna take the man in me to conquer this insanity (no, no, no, no)

It seems the rain'll never let up

I try to keep my head up, and still keep from gettin' wet up

You know, it's funny when it rains it pours

They got money for wars, but can't feed the poor

Said it ain't no hope for the youth and the truth is

It ain't no hope for the future

And then they wonder why we crazy

I blame my mother for turning my brother into a crack baby

We ain't meant to survive, 'cause it's a setup

And even though you're fed up

Huh, ya got to keep your head up

ooh, child, things are gonna get easier

Keep-keep ya head up, ooh, child, things'll get brighter (ohh)

Keep ya head up, ooh, child, things are gonna get easier

Keep-keep ya head up, ooh, child, things'll get brighter

And uh

To all the ladies havin' babies on they own

I know it's kinda rough and you're feelin' all alone

Daddy's long gone and he left you by ya lonesome

Thank the Lord for my kids, even if nobody else want 'em (left you all by yourself)

'Cause I think we can make it, in fact, I'm sure

And if you fall, stand tall and comeback for more

'Cause ain't nothin' worse than when your son

Wants to know why his daddy don't love him no mo'

You can't complain you was dealt this

Hell of a hand without a man, feelin' helpless

Because there's too many things for you to deal with

Dying inside, but outside you're looking fearless

While the tears is rollin' down your cheeks

Ya steady hopin' things don't all down this week

'Cause if it did, you couldn't take it, and don't blame me

I was given this world I didn't make it

And now my son's gettin' older and older and cold

From havin' the world on his shoulders

While the rich kids is drivin' Benz

I'm still tryin' to hold on to my survivin' friends

And it's crazy, it seems it'll never let up, but

Please, you got to keep your head up

Lovebytes - Digital Spring.

Part of UNQUIET : Art and music events at Sheffield's Central Library

Sat 24 March 11am-4pm

Sheffield Central Library, Surrey Street, Sheffield.

Sheffield Central Library provided the venue and inspiration for a spree of artistic interventions, impromptu performances and creative workshops:

Sheffield Library's documentation from Unquiet (requires Flash):

Reactable

The Reactable is a revolutionary new electronic musical instrument, designed to create and perform the music of today and tomorrow. It combines state of the art technologies with a simple and intuitive design, which enables musicians to experiment with sound, change its structure, control its parameters and be creative in a direct and refreshing way - unlike anything you have ever known before.

Juxtavoices

Juxtavoices is a large 'antichoir' under the direction of composer Martin Archer and writer Alan Halsey. The group includes many familiar faces from Sheffield's leftfield music, poetry and visual arts scenes. Although the group performs structured scores, no fixed pitches are ever notated, and the group uses improvisation to shape the detail of the scores as the music progresses. Both trained and untrained voices are included. As well as playing "normal" concerts, the group is to be found in various unexpected public places, and at poetry / text events. For this event, Juxtavoices have created 2 special pieces for performance: one in suitably hushed tones inside the main library, and one utilising the rich acoustic of the adjacent stairwell.

20Hz by Semiconductor

05.00 minutes / HD video installation / 2011

20 Hz observes a geo-magnetic storm occurring in the Earth's upper atmosphere. Working with data collected from the CARISMA radio array and interpreted as audio, we hear tweeting and rumbles caused by incoming solar wind, captured at the frequency of 20 Hertz. Generated directly by the sound, tangible and sculptural forms emerge suggestive of scientific visualisations. As different frequencies interact both visually and aurally, complex patterns emerge to create interference phenomena that probe the limits of our perception.

20Hz is a Semiconductor work by Ruth Jarman and Joe Gerhardt.

Audio Data courtesy of CARISMA, operated by the University of Alberta, funded by the Canadian Space Agency.

Co-commissioned by Arts Santa Monica + Lighthouse for the Invisible Fields Exhibition at Arts Santa Monica, Barcelona. 2011-2012. Supported by the British Council.

Catalyst

This sound installation in the Lending Library presents a series of collaborative works by a number of Sheffield based writers and sound artists.

In 2011 composers from the University of Sheffield Sound Studios (USSS) were asked to produce a work drawing on Brian Eno's concept of 'ambient music' - music that could be subtly diffused into the atrium space at Bank Street. These compositions were played throughout the day and the writers spent an hour free-writing in response to them. These initial responses were then developed into poems by the writers and then were recorded reading their poems. These sound recordings formed the source material for a new series of compositions - in some cases settings of the poems themselves, in others more abstract manipulations of the source material.

Catalyst is a collaboration involving Bank Street Arts' Poet in Residence Angelina Ayers; writers on the MA Writing at Sheffield Hallam University; Bank Street Arts Resident sound artist Ian Baxter and fellow composers working from the USSS.

Animation/Pixilation Workshop

Children's Library session beginning 11am, 12pm, 2pm and 3pm (4 x 45min workshops)

To book a place email - kidsandteens.library@sheffield.gov.uk

or tel. - 0114 273 4734

Come and have a go at animating...Yourself! Pixilation is an exciting form of animation where everyday objects and humans are the made to do extraordinary things such as disappear into walls, change into other people, fly, get eaten by black holes and ice skate on carpets!

In this workshop you'll learn how to make use pixillation to create animated films. You and your parents or carers will also find out how to film animation at home using your home computer, a webcam and free software. No experience or equipment necessary - just bring yourself! The workshop is led by Melvyn Turnan - you can see his films at www.melmation.com

Places are very limited, so please book in advance to avoid disappointment.

Sssh! There's going to be a FREE secret film show for kids at 1PM, somewhere in the Library...

Are spy pigeons and lost mechanical aliens your kind of thing? Do you know a cat who belongs to Simon? (or is it a Simon who belongs to a cat?)...

You can only find out the secret location for this screening when you collect a free golden ticket from our information desk in the Winter Garden. Make sure you get there early, it's first come first served and there are only a few places available for this extra special, hush hush event for those in the know. The films are suitable for any age but children must be accompanied by an adult.

These films are 100% guaranteed to totally amaze you... here's a sneak preview of what you will see...

The Lost Thing by Andrew Ruhemann & Shaun Tan (Passion Pictures, Australia 2011). This film won an Oscar for best short animated film in 2011. A boy finds a strange creature on a beach, and decides to find a home for it in a world where everyone believes there are far more important things to pay attention to.

Pigeon Impossible by Lucas Martell. This amazing bagel bite-sized adventure was 5 years in the making. It's the tale of Walter, a rookie secret agent faced with a problem seldom covered in basic training: what to do when a curious pigeon gets trapped inside your multi-million dollar, government-issued nuclear briefcase?

Love Over Goldfish by Janet Jennings and Jon Harrison. Have you ever seen a movie that is upside-down from beginning to end? Well the star of this film has, he's lived it! He's a goldfish and this is his life story. Love Over Goldfish was filmed in Sheffield, see if you can spot any familiar locations (but don't get a crick in your neck;)

Thanks to all the staff at Sheffield Libraries for hosting this event.

Special thanks to:

Emma Croft, Sarah Hogan, Martin Dutch and Andrew Milroy at Sheffield Libraries, Martin Archer and Juxtavoices, Ian Baxter (Catalyst), Sergi Jordà (reactable), Sheffield University Sound Studios, Passion Pictures, Lucas Martell, Flatpack Festival, Amber and Joab Harrison
