Sister

[Rhymefest] Yeah, this song right here Is about a lot of different - people, women I know Family members, things we go through, y'know? And, it just means that, sister I understand You can't have trials without tribulations And umm, sometimes we just need God to work that out I'mma kick it like this, look This beat reminds me of a lounge, on a Wednesday night Shorty chillin at the bar ain't have no friends in sight I rolls up like, "Damn girl, what you in tonight?" She looked up said, "This ain't how I wanna spend my life" Tears in her face, fear in her face Man this ain't about love, she was feelin disgraced She said, "In five years I got three kids, two different dads I'm pregnant now and I don't know who the father is" Heavy thing, she was tellin me everything Her mother became a widow before she got the wedding ring Shorty was locked in a prison, I wanted to set her free But I couldn't, so I sat and listened With no intermission, I didn't interrupt her To tell the truth, originally I just wanted to fuck her But, heh, I was like damn girl, you gon' be okay? She turned around and said [Hook: Mike Payne] Yeahh, sister, I know that sometimes This world don't treat you, right, yeah And sister, I know that he left you With too many, responsibilities, yeahhh [Rhymefest] Look, love don't love nobody Drugs don't love nobody, so why you put that shit in your body? Now we can't have a decent conversation Cause she always shakin I tried to deny it at first, it bothers me now Don't ask for money, you done ten dollar'd me out I even took yo' kids when they put you out the last house But I will not babysit while you in a crackhouse! And I would hate, to turn 'em over to the state Look what I did, I let they bad-ass stay and just tear up my crib While you hurt me child, horribly He asked me why my momma love drugs more than me I couldn't answer, I sat back and peered in the sky I thought it was rainin, but damn, there was tears in my eyes He was like you gon' be alright Uncle Che? I'm like man, look [Hook: Mike Payne] Yeahh, sister, don't you know You're worth, more than gold (way more than gold) yeahhhh And sister, don't you know I sew what's in your, souuuuuuuulll, yes I do yes I do [Mike Payne] And I know daddy did you wrong But you gooo-hooot to be strong Cause you will see... The sun shine... the sun gonna shine Yes you will see (you will see, you will see, you will see) The sun shine... (yeahhhhh yeahhhhh oh yeah) The sun's gon' shine (the sun's gon' shine) The sun's gon' shine (the sun's gon' shine) The sun's GON' shine (the sun's GON' shine) I said the sun's gon' shine (the sun's gon' shine) Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh hmmmmmmmmmmmmm Oh sister I know Sister I know that it gets so hard for you babe (You don't understand) And that's why I'm here Baby you should have no fear (that's why I need ya) Sister sister sister sister sister {*fades out*}
