"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"?
