[Intro]
|
Brother, brother (Sister sister, the way I-)
|
You're gonna need her (Sister sister, the way I-)
|
Brother, brother (Sister sister, the way I-)
|
You're gonna need her (Sister sister..)
|
|
[Heavy D]
|
This one goes out to.. (Sister sister)
|
All the black women in our society
|
who 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, I love you
|
(Sister sister, the way I-)
|
|
Sister sister, my Nubian princess
|
This one's for you, 'cause I'm tired of the nonsense
|
Not speaking of a sister from immeadiate family
|
but 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 and
|
mend 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, Marley
|
Oh 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 be
|
without 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 due
|
and 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 babies
|
who 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-)
