Heavy D - Sister Sister lyrics

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-) [fades]
