Jhaine In a Favela, I Think

Jhaine in Brazil, I think
closest I can figger
'cause, we don't share some language
probably a generational thing
I suppose

many words I don't understand
many of the words
she writes
like music

but, the ideas, I think
I could help to explain
maybe

Jhaine, she comes across strong
seems to carry herself 
well

loves her baby
brother

beautiful and strong

rise up, little sister, rise on up
above it all

and bring the ones you love
for you are beautiful
and

you are strong
