All the black women in our societywho has gone through so much pain and struggle (The way I-) |
|
Gonna let you know that.(Sister sister) |

I'm thinking about you (The way I-)and from the bottom of my heart, |

|
Sister sister, my |
|
Nubian princess |
|
This one's for you, 'cause |
|
I'm tired of the nonsense |
|
Not speaking of a sister from immeadiate familybut to all the sisters with a black mentality |
|
I've grown up watchin you struggle |
|
While others work singles, you work doubles |
|
If it wasn't for you, we wouldn't be born |
|
Who would sew our clothes when they were torn? |
|
I remember trips you couldn't take |
|
So you can buy clothes for your kids to look straight |
|
A few ways to make a dim day bright |
|
Use it for a crutch 'fore you limp through right |
|
Never met a person with a pride so true |
|
Without a strong sis, then what can a black man do? |
|
Many are called but the chosen are few |
|
Sister sister, |
|
I feel good about you[Chorus] |
|
The way I feel about you(Sister sister, the way I-) |
|
The way I feel about you(Sister sister.) |
|
The way I feel about you(Sister sister, the way I-) |
|
The way I feel aboooooout yooooou[Heavy D] |
|
I could recall those sleepless nights |
|
Three in the morning, is my baby alright? |
|
Can't wait to greet 'em with your sensitive touch' |
|
Cause you know he's on the street, that society left us (Sensitive touch) |
|
I remember when you bandaged my boo |
|
So your sonny was a winner and hopes that he wouldn't lose |
|
Look at your frame, your structure, pride won't puncture |
|
Can't get enough of the way you love your family |
|
You'd be damned if we, ever borrowed sugar for a hot cup of tea |
|
How many tears must you cry? (Dry up) |
|
How many prayers must be said for your kids to get by? |
|
How many time must you fix the break andmend the torn and befriend the lonesome? |
|
They say being black is crazy |
|
It's hard to be black, but it's hell to be a black lady[Chorus][Interlude] |
|
Break it down~! |
|
Sister sister(Sister sister, the way I-) |
|
Sister sister (...the way I-) |
|
I love you |
|
Sister sister(Sister sister, the way I-) |
|
Sister sister(Sister sister, the way I-) |
|
Get funky, |
|
MarleyOh yeah... do me a favor.[Chorus 2] |
|
The way I feel about you(Sister sister, sister sister) |
|
The way I feel about you(Sister sister, sister sister) |
|
The way I feel about you(Sister sister, sister sister) |
|
The way I feel aboooooout yooooou(Sister sister, sister sister, the way I-)[Heavy D] |
|
To all the mothers who's lost and mourned |
|
To all the girls whose hearts been torn |
|
To all the sisters who cried for a brother |
|
I have a love for you |
|
I couldn't have for another |
|
I'm proud to see you in your executive chair |
|
I'm proud to know you giving us medical care |
|
Oh what weak men we would bewithout the strong black women in our society |
|
Scrub, you cook, you clean, you know you're goin to |
|
Not because you have to, but because you want to |
|
Not unless you carry, but to give |
|
You love, you cry, you laugh, you weep |
|
You hug, it's you that |
|
I envy'Cause when it comes to givin love, you give it good and plenty |
|
Sister sister, respect is dueand from the bottom of my heart {*kiss*}, |
|
I feel good about you[Chorus][Outro: Heavy D] |
|
We all need to give more thought, to our sisters out there |
|
Our future sisters, but is soon turning to parents |
|
And give love that we've gotten |
|
And the babies out there, the little |
|
GIRL babieswho grow up to be future sisters |
|
And all you brothers out there |
|
Take time to think that it's a sister you came from |
|
And the same sister that you dissin today......may be the same sister you need tomorrow |
|
Peace!Brother, brother (Sister sister, the way I-) |
|
You're gonna need her (Sister sister, the way I-) |
