My Big Sister
My Big Sister
~ My big sister~
For years we use to fight
My butt you would surely wipe
Up and down the floor
My cries you would ignore
We'd fight till I was sore
Still I loved you more and more
~My big sister~
We traveled different roads
Both with heavy loads
No one could judge what you chose
No apologies do you owe
Our pains were not exactly the same
Our lives we could not change
~My big sister~
You hung with the wrong crowd
On corners so very loud
Not afraid of anyone
Protected by fists you always won
If ever I was in trouble
You were there on the double
My enemies left in the rubble
~My big sister~
I looked up to you
No matter what wrong you'd do
In my mind I always knew
In the family you were the glue
Although weak at times
You always snapped us back in line
~My big sister~
You smoked cigarettes and weed
I never followed this lead
Never saw the need
This was your way to cope
It ultimately lead to coke
Which then lead to dope
~My big sister~
It was my turn to save you
Fear aside I knew what to do
Came through that door
So frightened by what I saw
You looked so confused
Your life I could not loose
~My big sister~
In normal fashion
You took charge with passion
Got that monkey off your back
Got your life back on track
Although we are not close
I felt you should know
~My big sister~
This is why you are the glue
This is why I will always love you
