Sista'

Sista' It was one of them days       A sista' knows           Just one of them days A sista' goes thru a thing or two       In all kinds of ways             It amazes me                 N' keeps me in a daze All the troubles of my sistas At times we just go crazy! Sista'sista' Why hold yo' knees N' cover yo' eyes Try to keep peace N' still you cry Beg God "Please!" For all them times... You tried To keep the devil from ya' side But yet he gets the betta' taste of you N' blows ya' mind Sista'sista' You try to keep it goin' Try to steer away from poisonous fakes That got you             open It's too easy, it's ya' mind that they after Wanna' take away n' play with ya' soul N' leave ya' battered             n' shattered so Now ya' caught up in the rapture With nowhere to go         so ya' do it cause ya' have to Degradin' ya'self Spreadin' ya'self Ain't gettin' no help Sista' girl, ya' gotta' take betta' care of ya' health Raise up girl you too young to be so needy These kats gotcha' floatin' for them because they greedy "Hey pretty" They say you got what it takes Wanna' tell ya' just how easy it is So you can get paid     The thangs...           that they dangle in ya' face                 Maybe shinin' in ya' eyes                     But it's peircin' ya' grace Such a shame Ain't no love in da' city Them kats cut n' left you alone Cryin' "Please, don't leave me!!" Sistah girl I understand you tryin' to make it   Always told how to get what you want     is if you take it Gonna' make it thru   N' do what you do     Even if you fake it       Like let that dude run all up in you         Cause he ain't gon' say shit Girl, ya' takin' away from ya' life N' its just begun I tried to tell ya' thangs gon' be alright But I see it wasn't enough If ya' close ya' eyes   N' imagine things much greater than this     I can guruantee       You'll want much more than this life'll give You can start again                   N'                     again Till ya' whole life                 starts                   to unfold   You can give right back     But can't take away the things when ya' lost your control Sistah girl,     You takin' a chance       Ain't got a whole lot of time         Be decisive in what cha' do           You can always change ya' mind Live ya' life while you still can   Leave that other shit behind     No need to rush back to that world       N' live ya' life in rewind Just take a minute n' think You can fight it n' win Next time he come around you knockin' Don't let his ass in!
