"sista"?
sista you were the person i admired the most
you always came out on top others weren't even close
you took on the pressure of any situation
the role you took was without hesitation
i felt that i would always need you for guidance
i looked at you as my secret alliance
there were times i felt you were unfair about lots of things
but you taught me thats all life means
you started growing older and wiser
i started seeing a house full of liars
it was six kids in a house no father no mother
it was like all we had was each other
man please that was a big front da whole time
you left da house with just a drop of a dime
fights breakin out between you mama and daddy
everytime ya'll fought it was over somethin petty
our daddy wasn't nothin
mama felt she had to become somethin
wen you moved out it was the best thing for you
but what about us we was struggling too
wen daddy finally came back into the picture we had to go
then here you come cuz you wanna use us sum moe
wen daddy came back mama left
ya'll robbed me personally of happiness it was known theft
well that was the past lets take a look at the present
mama and daddy here sorta i guess thats a blessin
im eighteen years old and now you tryin to interfere in my life
where were you when i needed advice
im the only one in our family doin the best with what i got
everybody is havin the luck when all i have is the have not
sista how could you agree with me one minute cuz our situations is similar
and when you get on all of sudden my choice in your eye's has gone dimmer
you so hypercritical i will never take your advice
it dont matter if you think it could save my life
i dont hate you i just despise you a lot
im not a toy you get out the cracker jack box
when i move away i will not open my mouth to tell you or anybody else where
i'll be ok cuz im with somebody who actually cares
man ma life just went through a twista
but thanks for savin me "sista"?
