Sister (feat. Mike Payne)

Yeah, this song right here is about a lot of different people Wwomen, I know, family members, things we go through, y'know? And it just means that, sister I understand You can't have trials without tribulations And umm, sometimes we just need God to work that out I'ma kick it like this, look This beat reminds me of a lounge on a Wednesday night Shorty chillin' at the bar ain't have no friends in sight I rolls up like, "Damn girl, what you in tonight?" She looked up said, "This ain't how I wanna spend my life" Tears in her face, fear in her face Man this ain't about love, she was feelin' disgraced She said, "In five years I got three kids, two different dads I'm pregnant now and I don't know who the father is" Heavy thing, she was tellin' me everything Her mother became a widow before she got the wedding ring Shorty was locked in a prison, I wanted to set her free But I couldn't, so I sat and listened With no intermission, I didn't interrupt her To tell the truth, originally I just wanted to fuck her But, heh, I was like damn, girl, you gon' be okay? She turned around and said Yeah, sister, I know that sometimes This world don't treat you, right, yeah And sister, I know that he left you With too many, responsibilities, yeah Look, love don't love nobody, drugs don't love nobody So why you put that shit in your body? Now we can't have a decent conversation 'Cause she always shakin' I tried to deny it at first, it bothers me now Don't ask for money, you done ten dollar'd me out I even took yo' kids when they put you out the last house But I will not baby sit while you in a crack house And I would hate to turn 'em over to the state Look what I did, I let they bad-ass stay and just tear up my crib While you hurt me child, horribly He asked me, "Why my momma love drugs more than me?" I couldn't answer, I sat back and peered in the sky I thought it was rainin' but damn, there was tears in my eyes He was like you gon' be alright Uncle Che? I'm like man, look Yeah, sister, don't you know You're worth, more than gold, yeah (Way more than gold) And sister, don't you know I sew what's in your, soul, yes, I do, yes, I do And I know Daddy did you wrong But you got to be strong 'Cause you will see the sun shine (The sun's gonna shine) Yes you will see (You will see, you will see, you will see) The sun shine (Yeah, yeah, oh yeah) The sun's gon' shine (The sun's gon' shine) The sun's gon' shine (The sun's gon' shine) The sun's gon' shine (The sun's gon' shine) I said the sun's gon' shine (The sun's gon' shine) Ohh hmm, oh sister, I know Sister I know that it gets so hard for you, babe (You don't understand) And that's why I'm here Baby, you should have no fear (That's why I need ya) Sister, sister, sister, sister, sister
