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 dadsI'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 **** 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 doAnd 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, |
|

|
