In order to honor Juneteenth for the Black community, Symba has taken it upon himself to release a freestyle over a famous 2Pac instrumental.
The “Never End Up Broke” rapper sang off the top of his head to 2Pac’s “Keep Ya Head Up” on Monday (June 19), while driving a flossed-out Benz, and discussed the value of remaining powerful and strong in the face of adversity. Symba took sure to note that the purpose of his freestyle was to celebrate Hip Hop’s 50th anniversary in collaboration with Apple Music.
Keep your head up when everything breaks apart, my n-gga. I remember having a hard time trying to get my bread up, feeling like God let me down, but I never let up.We overcame the difficulty, paying our bills late, playing catch-up.Over the bass-heavy instrumental, he raps, “Always had hotdogs, but couldn’t keep ketchup.
“Heating up the house with the same oven that fed us,” he continued.Too poor to get sick and without the funds to visit the doctorGovernment funding keeps us in these circumstances.Fighting a system that is against us is difficult.Politicians and drug dealers share a common goal in profiting from unfavorable situations.
N-ggas become accustomed to failing and becoming frustrated.God doesn’t tell us when good things happen, and our parents have failed us. Nevertheless, no matter what you are going through, keep your head high.
It’s not the first time Symba has used hip hop to discuss important social issues.
