You've always told me
If I ever wanna live
If I find a better girl
Someone who lets me breathe
That you wouldn't stand in my way
Oh girl, I never meant to break your heart
I, I promise you
I didn't know, oh no
She was your sister
Sister
What could I do
She is so dope, oh yeah
I couldn't resist her
Your little sister
And who would've thought
She's really that young
Unlike you, kisses good with her tongue
Oh please don't stand in my way
I guess it really doesn't matter if
If I break your heart
I, I promise you
I didn't know, oh no
She was your sister
Sister
What could I do
She is so dope, oh yeah
I couldn't resist her
Your little sister
How, oh how could I know
How could he know
How could he know
I really, really didn't know
I, I promise you
I didn't know, oh no
She was your sister
Sister
What could I do
She is so dope, oh yeah
I couldn't resist her
Your little sister
I, I promise you
I didn't know, oh no
She was your sister
Sister
What could I do
She is so dope, oh yeah
I couldn't resist her
Your little sister
What? How old is she anyway?
Sister...
I was only 16 but I guess that's no excuse
My sister was 32, lovely and loose
She don't wear no underwear
She said it only gets in her hair
And it's got a funny way of stoppin' the juice
My sister never made love 2 anyone else but me
She's the reason 4 my, uh, sexuality
She showed me where it's supposed 2 go
A blowjob doesn't mean blow
Incest is everything it's said 2 be
Oh sister - don't put me on the street again
Oh sister - I just wanna be your friend
I was only 16 and only half a man
My sister didn't give a goddamn
She only wanted 2 turn me out
She'd take a whip 2 me until I shout
Oh motherfucker, she's a motherfucker, can't U understand?
Oh sister - don't put me on the street again
Oh sister - I just wanna be your friend
I know what U want me 2 do
Put me on the street and make me blue
Oh sister!
Oh sister!
Sister, I'm heading out of Alabama
So you better think fast.
The wind is gonna pick me up now
And the rain won't slack.
I'm headed down to Georgia
So don't lose track
Of where you been and where you're going now,
Who you've seen and what they lack,
And why you come undone, every time you go there,
You come undone.
I know your heart's in danger
And so is your life.
I said you learn to trust a stranger,
Stop and rest for the night.
Set your site up in the headlight
The moon won't be enough.
Light the embers of another
And the night won't seem so rough,
Sister.
There was a bloody beast of burden
On a dark Texas road,
A woman in the family way
And a car that lost control.
Now I'm studying the distance
Between the blanket and the gun,
I got ten miles to Natchez and another ten home.
I know your heart's in danger
And so is your life.
I said you learn to trust a stranger,
Stop and rest for the night.
Set your site up in the headlight,
The moon won't be enough.
Light the embers of another
And the night won't seem so rough.
Sister, go ahead, come on.
I said it's trust that brought me here
Passing time with you in mind
It's another quiet night
Feel the ground against my back
CountING stars against the black
Think about another day
Wishing I was far away
Wherever I dreamed I was
You were there with me
(Chorus)
Sister, I hear you laugh
My heart fills full up
Keep me please
Sister, when you cry
I feel your tears
Running down my face
Sister, sister, keep me
I hope you always know it's true
I would never make it through
You could make the sun go DARK
Just by walking away
Playing like we used to play
Like it would never go away
I feel you beating in my chest
I'd be dead without
(Chorus)
Sister, I hear you laugh
My heart fills full up
Keep me please
Sister, when you cry
I feel your tears
Running down my face
Sister, sister, you keep me
I hope you always know it's true
I would never make it through
You could make the heavens fall
Just by walking away
(Chorus)
Sister, I hear you laugh
My heart fills full up
Keep me please
Sister, when you cry
I feel your tears
Running down my face
Sister
Did you have to fall in love
With a man
That never was
Up to no good
He took your soul
And he stole your only heart
Flipped your wig and left a permanent scar
Sister
Did you have to go away
You left your home
And the things you had to say
It didn't feel good to let you slide
I never got to say goodbye
I miss you girl I think I'm gonna cry
If they knock on your door
You already gave
You don't need no more of what's ailing you
Just lean on your soul with all that it takes
May god bring you back home to America
America, America, America, America.
Sister, sister, sister, sister, sister
It's just a test of faith
Your heart is pure so the devil's in your face
I'll see you soon
'Cause they haven't got a case
And you'll be free
In a beautiful place, in a beautiful place
In a beautiful place, in a beautiful place
If they knock on your door
Damned, if I do and damned, if I don't
I told you I loved you, I wish that I hadn't
You don't seem the same
I guess I know you too well
I knew I was falling, but I didn't know how low I'd fell
Sister, oh sister, who told you these lies?
I haven't got time to teach you what it could be like
To pull you from this, child
You don't smell the stink
But your mind has found the bed
You think I'm all yours
And I wish that I were dead
The words were not your own
It was something your mother said
Umbilical bloodline, mind control
By the whiny chat
Sister, oh sister, I thought it'd be nice
That thing I felt when we first met just will not suffice
The glimmer in your eyes
I love you, sister
A bloodline to condescend
I thought so, sister
But I cannot pretend
It's hard to believe this blood
This isn't healthy love
It's hard to believe this love
This isn't healthy blood
Sister, oh sister, you thought you're so wise
But we're still fishing and coming from the blindest eye
see me walking aimlessly about,
don't know whether to whisper or to shout,
i could be wrong, i could be very, very right.
here i stand, innocence in my room
she's naked in my bed, wild thoughts inside my head
oh no! she's my...
sister, with her, don't let your heart
break too soon.
maybe, baby, come on sister,
lady you're my breath!
i could have been to you tonight
what i've wanted to be all my life
the day is gone now i can see.
i can't sustain your love
i can't complain your love
i can't explain your love
oh no! she's my...
sister, with her, don't let your heart
break too soon
maybe, baby, come on sister,
lady you're my breath!
sister yeah...
There's something you ought to know
About the latest model
She's not the usual kind
She's made of mindless metal
She's not exactly normal
But I don't care
She's got to be the one
Got to be the two
Got to be the three
Got to be the four
Behind the scanners and tapes
She's programmed for perfection
But sometimes simple mistakes
Get by without detection
Her figures need correction
Don't stand there takin' it
Shake it up, sister
You've got nobody else but yourself, sister
Don't stand there takin' it
Shake it up, sister
One, two, three, four
give it hell
Take it in
Work it out
Shake it up, sister
There's something you ought to know
About her calculation
Behind the needles and lights
She hears the faded data
Selects a random sample
The sample says
I've got to be the one
Got to be the two
Got to be the three
I use to get stoned on my sisters record collection
Gold and platinum on vinyl was the closest thing to perfection
Rock & roll, acoustic guitar
Not even comfortable with who you are
I'd blow the roof if I had a fast car
I changed my mind in my best friends El Camino
He blew my drums that summer night in El Reno
Turning up the STP, turning down the LSD
On a bottle of booze and the best of his cousins weed
What if I was the one that you warned me about
You were the one that needs to come around
We got together and we worked it out
No one would shut us down.
If it all dried up and blew away
With a handful of checks on a rainy day
Would you turn around or would you stay
Would it matter anyway
What if I decided to take the nation
I'd break the knob just so I could feel the frustration
Yeah, turn it up til you hit top speed
Yeah, its all that I'll ever need
When you bear your heart
You better be prepared to bleed
Wake up
Gonna wake up to nothing
Break up
The break up is coming
When you're heart is hollow
Another pill to swallow
Shake up
Got to shake up you're freezing
Make up
I'm gonna make up my reasons
I used to say i need you
But now i gotta leave you
[chorus]
Sister, sister what did they do to you
Sister, sister what did they do to you
Did they take and try to break
A heart that longed
It's so wrong
Hung up
Got me hung up and dragged
Rung up
Got me rung up and bagged
You took advantage of
The one who showed you love
[chorus]
Sister, sister what did they do to you
Sister, sister what did they do to you
Did they take and try to break
A heart that longed
For so long
So long
Sister You Don't Have To Cry
Everything Will Be Alright
My Sister You Don't Have To Weep
Cuz Things Are Getting Better
A Mother Worries About The Son She Raised
Alone Cuz He Is Fighting With Danger And
It's Getting Close, But He Won't Listen
She Prays To God And Asks Him Would You Please
Protect Him But She Is Not Alone
A Young Girl's Lying About The Weight She's
Gaining Because She Is Hiding A Baby
That Her Boyfriend Says He Didn't Father
He Said He Was In Love But Now He Can't
Be Bothered But Keep Your Head Up High
Little Sister
Strugglin, Trying, Working Days And School At
Night The Bills Are Piling, Patience Low And
Pressures High And You Can't Take It. You Say
You'll Just Throw Up Your Hands But You Can Make
It. Somebody Understands.
Strong And You're Beautiful
You Should See, You Should Know
Strong And You're Beautiful
Sister, Sister
well you're waiting for me sister
and I don't have to explain
that whenever I am parched and dry
I look to you for rain
well there are two things that can happen
things will come or they will go
and time makes fool of fashion
not for those who know they know
that the storm it always passes
that the sunshine follows rain
that the love will always rise above the pain
well she's waiting for me sister
and I will not make her wait
and you know that I have misses her
and you know it's not too late
yes she's waiting for me sister
I'm flying through the clouds of rain
I'll stop only when I've kissed her, only then
and I'll never leave her lying in wait again
well you know you will remember
your heart won't let you forget
here's a sweet forever coming to us yet
well she's waiting for me sister
and it's easy to explain
that whenever she is parched and dry
she looks to me for rain
yes she's waiting for me sister
I'm flying through the clouds of rain
and I'll stop only when I have kissed her, and only then
and I'll never leave her lying in wait again
Seated by the wing. A little face inside a ring. Plane came in late. Run up the ramp into my arms. My arms. You're a new thirteen. Wide-eyed and nervous just like me. Don't grow too fast. There's a lot of little things to see. You see, it makes me crazy to see you twice as big this time. I'm so happy just to catch you on your climb. Sister of mine, you live too far away now. Seems such a shame to only know your name. Clear blue of eye. Smile hides a precious underbite. Angel in disguise, I've got you in my thoughts each night. Tonight, does it make me crazy to worry about your bare walls? Seem so vacant. Are you sleeping there at all? She thinks it's stupid that we get paid to jump around. It's what I live for. I swear I'll never touch the ground. Sister of mine. I'll meet you past halfway now. Throw me a line, attach a cup and whisper, "Hey, hey."
What the water wants is hurricanes
And sailboats to ride on its back
What the water wants is sun kiss
And land to run into and back
I have a fish stone burning my elbow
Reminding me to know that I'm glad
That I have a bottle filled with my old teeth
They fell out like a tear in the bag
And I have a sister somewhere in Detroit
She has black hair and small hands
And I have a kettledrum, I'll hit the earth with you
And I will crochet you a hat
And I have a red kite, I'll put you right in it
You say he feels it
his face reveals it
my sweet trepidation
an eagerness of my own
a shiver slips through my bones
can you see cobblestone roads
running through his stare
he's so clandestine
he's such a vision
so tell me sister
he sits here in this small dive
there's something behind those eyes
did you perceive the wilderness
resting there so did i
laughing he stalls me
crazy he calls me
he thinks me artless
for not stocking berry wines
from certain australian vines
have mercy sister
he's travelled 'round the world
he's like a shadow
there by the window
but no man's an island
no man's an artesian well
he loves the cathedral bell
it sings about him
Sister, sister
Keep the fire inside
And your dogs won't die
And now it's all clear, it's all clear
You can see the child
Before it's born
Yeah, it's all clear, it's all clear
It's all your little sun smile
Before it's shone
Sister, we'll climb
We'll climb 'til the dogs
Climb over us
We'll climb, we'll climb
We'll climb 'til the dogs
Climb over us
Sister, why do you come
And turn all the lights all out, out
I can't see no more
Now I reach out, now I feel for
Now I reach out, now I feel for
Now I reach out, now I feel for
When I need a place to get away,
When I need a place to hide,
That place just seems oh so far away,
Couldn't get there if I tried.
Me and a young girl chasing mosquitoes,
Rolling down them grassy hills.
Put up a sign that said "No Vacancy",
Forget the world let time stand still
I take a train sister, a bus a brooking down Cheavy,
or a plane. I'd walk my sister just to see you there,
Just to see you again.
If I could think back and see this thing clearly,
If I could just remember when.
Of all the things I hold so dear to me,
I miss the people we were then.
And it seems that you were always there.
Like no one else you stood by me.
When you picked me up and cleaned me off,
Saw what not one else could see.
He's a man, he's a wolf
And he feels the pain of centuries
Tug of war, not to solve, between his heart and mind unfortunately
Shut his mouth, long ago,
He was too proud and he didn't know
It's a fear, in his soul
Makes 'em think he's king of sorrow
He doesn't like to walk in his own shoes
But there was no one to tell
So he dreamed of a little sister
She would love him, if he would fail
Brother even if you do not see me
Brother even if you feel confused
I am here to love and set you free
I'm your fighter, if you feel abused
Brother even if you hear no music
I will sing my lullaby for you
I'm your defender, I'm ur savior
I'm your sister and I'll cry for you
She's not white, she's not black
Feels uncomfortable in borderland
No one keeps her back
Insecurity is her best friend
Mother warm, father cold
And sometimes she couldn't deal with it
Always torn, not her fault
So she dreamed of a home, where she would fit
She doesn't like to walk in her own shoes
But there was no one to tell
So she dreamed of a little sister
She would love her, if she would fail
Sister even if you do not see me
Sister even if you feel confused
I am here to love and set you free
I'm ur fighter if you feel abused
Sister even if you hear no music
I will sing my lullaby for you
I'm your defender, I'm ur savior
I'm your sister and I'll cry for you
Be faithful, lean your head on mine
I give you hope and you'll be fine
Listen to my whisper
I'm your sister
I'm your sister, you're my brother
If you hold on, I'll fight harder
I'm ur mother, I'm your teacher
If you need me, I'm your preacher
Caught up in the middle
Had no choice, had no choice
Birthright forgotten
So silent, no voice
I see you, you know who
Little sister, little sister
Now realized little sister
Over looked little girl
Now realized little sister
Over looked little girl
Bottled up and empty holding back
At loss, your forgotten getting back, get back
Bottled up and empty holding back
At loss, your forgotten getting back
Get back, get back, get back, yeah
Expectations of another
Love given to the younger
Broken father, broken brother
Emptiness feeds the hunger
I see you, you know who
Little sister, little sister
Now realized little sister
Over looked little girl
Now realized little sister
Over looked little girl
Bottled up and empty holding back
At loss, your forgotten getting back, get back
Bottled up and empty holding back
At loss, your forgotten getting back
Get back, get back, get back, yeah
Now realized little sister
Over looked little girl
No direction little sister
Over looked little girl
Change
Change
Call her sister but she's really not
My friends been asking 'cause they've heard a lot
About the way that she makes me feel, oh yeah
She's not my sister, but she's very real
Look out!
I can't change (can't change) my ways (my ways)
I can't change
Call her my sister 'cause we're very close
And you can find her when you need her most
So many times I feel like a shot, oh yeah
Few people know what she's really got, trust me
I can't change (can't change) my ways (my ways)
I can't change
Or rearrange (rearrange) my days (my days)
I can't change
Call her my sister, but don't you be fooled, listen
'Cause she can take you around the world, yes she can
I can't change (can't change) my ways (my ways)
I can't change
Or rearrange (rearrange) my days (my days)
I can't change
I can't change (can't change) my ways (my ways)
I can't change
Or rearrange (rearrange) my days (my days)
I can't change
Here I am again,
Overwhelming feelings
A thousand miles away
From your ocean home
Part of me is near
Thoughts of what we were invade
The miles that stand between
We can't separate
Your all I hoped you'd become
Sister I see you
Dancing on the stage
Of memory
Sister I miss you
Fleeting visits pass
Still they satisfy
Reminders of the next
Overshadow goodbye
Our flames burn as one
Sister I see you
Dancing on the stage
Of memory
Sister I miss you
All I am begins with you
Thoughts of hope understood
Half of me breathes in you
Thoughts of love remain true
Here we are again saying goodbye
Still we fall asleep underneath the same sky
You're all I knew you'd become
Sister I see you
Dancing on the stage
Of memory
Sister I miss you
Entwined, you and I
Our souls speak from across the miles
Intertwined, you and I
Our blood flows from the same inside
Half of me, breathes in you
Thoughts of love remain true
I see you, I feel you
When I close my eyes
I see walking there...
I see you dancing in my mind
I haven't got the brains
To say wise things
To tell true things
When you laugh
I haven't got the strength
To tell you straight things
‘Cause they are different
For everyone
Message blows at the sun
Grace
I've got a pretty face
Which automatically implies I'm dumb
Wise Japanese Master says
No time for Roo Di Ments
He's in my head
And I just can't get him out
All is said
And done
Sister is calling
In my head where she sleeps
Longing for desire
She's afraid
It's never to keep
Sister is moving me
I haven't got the guts
To preach you blue things
To talk about true things
I don't know
‘Cause I'm a chicken in the worst
Sense of the word
About these harsh things
Wanna be a friend to everyone
Message blows at the sun
I haven't got the sense`
To say sound things
Nor profound things
I'm not strong
‘Cause I am far too afraid to
Be taken wrongly
Though I really say
Nothing at all
All is said
She smelled like 2am
Took him back to her place
Where all the saints adorn the walls
Delivering her from grace
He knew he should leave
That this could only turn cold
She was a bad bad girl
So he told her so
Under the shadows of doubt
He had the whisper of lust
He said no touching tonight
She closed her eyes in his trust
She said tuck me in
He knew his judgement was sound
Still he pulled back the sheets
And said you better lie down cuz the angels are watching
She closed her eyes and said quit the talking
You can hurt me do whatever you like
Her every word was in italics
As it would fall from her lips
The walls made of broken promises
He hoped this wouldnt be his
She said tell me what to do
He knew right then he was done
Feeling lonely and confused
He said you better lie down cuz the angels are watching
She closed her eyes and said quit the talking
You can hurt me do whatever you like
So he said shut your mouth girl the angels are listening
You better lie down cuz the angels are watching
She closed her eyes and said quit the talking
You can hurt me do whatever you like
She crossed herself now the moments are missing
You can hurt me do whatever you like
Glancing through the curtains
Questions on her tongue
She spoke in third person
And he had seen every one
Awkward and admitted
Said shut the door when you go
Perhaps he should have reconsidered (oh no)
When he said you better lie down cuz the angels are watching
She closed her eyes and said quit the talking
You can hurt me do whatever youd like
So he said shut your mouth girl the angels are listening
She crossed herself now the moments are missing
She's in control now
It's gonna make her happy any day now
Can you see, she's
Getting smaller every day now
Her body seems to melt away
Smaller, every day now.
Open a magazine
Turn on the TV
Open a magazine
Turn on the TV
You'll see
What my sister's dying to be
I don't think I know her,
She's turning to stone but she don't know it
She can't see, she's
Getting smaller every year now
Her body seems to disappear
Smaller, every year now.
Open a magazine
Turn on the TV
Open a magazine
Turn on the TV
You'll see
What my sister's dying to be
I'll buy you a brand new dress
Sister please promise you'll keep what's left
Sister I'll buy you some brand new shoes
Sister I'll tell you that I love you
My sister
You ain't got nothing left to lose X4
Sister, I know there been times
When you didn't think I was a very good friend
Sister, you must think I'm out of my mind
It's a struggle sometimes to pretend
But I know what I'm doing
I know who I am
I know how it works
And I'll see where it ends
Sister, I need you more now than I ever did
I've been thinking again, I've been thinking again
Life can be tricky and sneak up on you
Like a tiger looking for pray
And we've had our share of surprises
There must be a good one coming our way
'Cause we're really all looking
We're really all lost
The less we expect
The smaller the costs
Sister, I miss you more now than I ever did
I've been thinkin' again, I've been thinkin' again
Things that aren't funny, are funny with you
So I'm better when you are around
I might say I don't need any advice
But I'll wear the clothes that I found
In the back of your closet
Wherever you hide
Secrets that nobody
Ever will find
Sister, I love you more now than I ever did
I've been thinkin' again, I've been thinkin' again
Sister, I love you more now than I ever did

Filthy McNasty
Filthy McNasty
Who's that
Filthy McNasty
Oohh,
You always told me
If I ever want to leave
If I find the better girl
Someone who lets me breathe
That you wouldn't stand in my way
Oohh girl I never meant to break your heart
I promise you
I didn't know, oh no
She was your sister, sister
What could I do
She is so dope, oh yeah
I couldn't resist her
Your little sister
And who would've thought
That she's really that young
Unlike you
Kisses good with the tongue
Oh please don't stand in the way
I guess it really doesn't matter
If I break your heart...
I promise you
I didn't know, oh no
She was your sister, sister
What could I do
She is so dope, oh yeah
I couldn't resist her
Your little sister
How, ooh,
Oohh, how could I know
How could he know
How could he know
How
I'd really, really didn't know
I promise you
I didn't know, oh no
She was your sister, sister
What could I do
She is so dope, oh yeah
I couldn't resist her
Your little sister
I promise you
I didn't know, oh no
She was your sister, sister
What could I do
She is so dope, oh yeah
I couldn't resist her
Your little sister
Axelle Red
Sister
If ever life 's mistreating you
You don't feel good at all
You need a sister to hold on to
You can give me a call
It might be Monday, it might be Tuesday
8 o' clock in the evening on a Sunday
You won't have to explain the whole situation
I 'll just keep you company
You must be lonely without a friend
Not relying on family
Call me on a Monday, on a Tuesday
In the middle of the night on a Sunday
These men took your soul
Your innerpride
They got you deeply
The cut of a thousand knives
Until you had nothing more to hide
It made the ones that love you wish
They had turned blind
But you don't have to carry all that guilt
We sisters vulnerable 'bout the way we 're built
And I might not feel what you feel
Though wounds like yours I know they don't just heal
By Monday, next Tuesday
But call me and I'll be around on a Sunday
Some day again you will shine
Keep walking towards the sun

You've always told me
If I ever wanna live

Someone who lets me breathe
That you wouldn't stand in my way
Oh girl, I never meant to break your heart
I, I promise you

Oh please don't stand in my way
I guess it really doesn't matter if
If I break your heart
I, I promise you
I didn't know, oh no
She was your sister
Sister
What could I do
She is so dope, oh yeah
I couldn't resist her
Your little sister
How, oh how could I know
How could he know
How could he know
How
I really, really didn't know
I, I promise you
I didn't know, oh no
She was your sister
Sister
What could I do
She is so dope, oh yeah
I couldn't resist her
Your little sister
I, I promise you
I didn't know, oh no
She was your sister
Sister
What could I do
She is so dope, oh yeah
I couldn't resist her
Your little sister
What? How old is she anyway?
Sister...
(performed by the Sisters Keepers)
Kaye / As we observe how our sisters have been daily victimized / We don't ever sink
in deep cause our spirit's still alive / Rejoicing the day that justice will prevail
Brooke / How can you judge another person by the color of their skin? / You have to
walk a mile in your brothers shoes before you can start talking
Refrain / Sisters are you ready?
Sijamwona mpilipili na maua yake mchikicho*
Meli / Ich bin mein Sisters Keeper / Ein Nigger / so nennst du mich doch lieber /
Siehst du noch so aus wie wir?/ Wenn wir reagieren? Erkennst du mich jetzt wieder /
Die da mit dem 9melimeter / behüte damit deine Schwestern und Brüder / deren Ehre
besudelt ist / Ganz Deutschland ist bamboozled, kid / Es ist eine parallele Welt, in
der ich leb / Nenn mich paranoid / Kinder aus der Minderheit wissen, wovon ich red /
In meinen Augen steht in einer Träne, was ich seh / und ich entblösse es / Selbst
wenn Gewalt mich tötet / Ich respektiere Menschen aller Völker / Weil das bedeutet /
dass Gott uns alle liebt und wollte / Kannst du nicht verstehen / willst du nicht
Gottes Weg nehmen / Du kannst mich ermorden / aber ich werd leben / Gott segne /
Adriano / R.I.F. da oben / auf einen neuen Morgen / Wir sind deine Reinkarnation
Vanessa / Wer seid ihr und wer sind wir? Nie geredet, nie gekannt. Aber immer streng
im Visier
Bintia / Von Tag eins warft ihr Steine in unseren Weg. Deswegen gehst du deinen und
ich geh meinen Weg
Vanessa / Dein Ziel, mein Ziel, wir streben nach Liebe
Bintia / Und nun werft ihn ab, den Schleier der Gefühle
Onejiru / What goes up must come down, see
Tesirée / (I ain't paying) price for your small minds
Onejiru / You can't change that philosophy
Tesirée / Ain't nothing funny if it's killing us, no
Onejiru / So please: tell me what can it be that makes you believe you're better
than me
Tesirée / Forgive them, Father, for they know not what they do

Yeah, this song right here
Is about a lot of different - people, women 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
Yeahh, 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, yeahhh
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 babysit while you in a crackhouse!
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
Yeahh, sister, don't you know
You're worth, more than gold (way more than gold) yeahhhh
And sister, don't you know
I sew what's in your, souuuuuuuulll, yes I do yes I do
And I know daddy did you wrong
But you gooo-hooot to be strong
Cause you will see...
The sun shine... the sun gonna shine
Yes you will see (you will see, you will see, you will see)
The sun shine... (yeahhhhh yeahhhhh 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)
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh hmmmmmmmmmmmmm
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, oh how I miss your face
smiling in your right place,
across the dinner table.
You're the first one I ever held hands with.
Did I really hurt you because of a man?
It'll never happen again.
Sister, I'm done running this race with you.
Put me in my place, with you across the dinner table.
You're the first one I ever held hands with here, and
now you're gone all because of a man.
Promise it'll never happen again.
Sister, sister, sister, sister.
Sister, what are you going through,
Somethings bothering you,
And I think I know just what it is,
Sister, its all because of him,
Now I don't mean to bud in,
But I hate to see you going through
Now the road you are taken,
I have been there,
A time or two,
Between me and you
When you love somebody,
Like I love somebody
And when you've been hurt,
Like I've been hurt,
You'll understand how,
Love has it's ups and downs,
It's what you make it
Sister, I'm asking you don't let go,
He will be back I know,
And I know it's hard for you to see,
Sister, don't you throw away a good thing,
Though your heart seems weak,
You'll feel better when you two speak
When you fall in love (fall in love)
You dont exspect the pain
When the sun shines
You dont plan on the rain
But if the weather changes
You should be each others shelter
Its the only way that love will last
sister, I don't want you to be my fan
I'd rather have you be my number one collaborator
I'm right here and you're still tryin to get ahold of me
I know you're made of a lot more than what your showing me
so sister let me ask you a question
right now, how do you want to be mentioned
what do u want people to know you as
trendy orthodox or an agent of change
ya wanna look real cute in those photographs
or would you rather start changing the frame
a handmaiden paving the way for the future
generations of women to follow and get used to
plain to see you're not who claim to be
n if thats who you aim to be, you've lost me
call it a tragedy, countless casualties
made for change but lost their agency
CHORUS:
Sister there's no need for this pretending
I See whats inside of you
come on lets keep it true
Sister there's no need for this pretending
you can trust in me
just keep it real with me
sister I need you to let down your guard
cause right now I have no idea who you are
I know your hurt, I can see through to the pain
I'm not here with you just to be entertained
look, don't let the guys mess around with ur status
and never let ya girls just keep you distracted
providing a sex & the city guide to life
that kind of life buying into what they call pretty
compliments on ya face and dress and you give em
back to just enhance the materialism
don't let a magazine make a list for you to follow
outer perfection but you still feel hollow
swear that which you do is just something for you
and its not you, means you got something to prove
please do not try to fool me
cause behind that camouflage I can still see you truly
BRIDGE:
Ohhh...
you know you can keep your guard down
I got your back
Ohhh...
you know you can trust in me
Ohhh...
marriage ain't gonna make u who you're meant to be
unless you've investigated your own integrity
your not up for bids, and this ain't a market
stop selling urself, try telling yourself this
that you are not in anyway half made
you can embrace the whole, never downgrade
cause I can't see you sister, with ya face to make up
for the space in the real that you fail to take up
listen, you dont need that kind of attention
-what I can see is that you need a retention
of your true design, your boldest intentions
that which some of ya friends have failed to mention
and please don't forget that I am your brother
and what I'm trying to do is help lead you to discover
the nobility that exists in both of us
but first what I need from you is Trust
CHORUS:
Sister there's no need for this pretending
I See whats inside of you
come on lets keep it true
Sister there's no need for this pretending
you can trust in me
TIDES ARE WARMING BROTHER
AND SOON YOU'LL BE COMING HOME
MY SALTEN VEINS HAVE FOUND YOU
AND THEY BRING YOU BACK HERE TO ME
YOUR ARMS EMBRACED THEM
AND LEFT ME ALL ALONE
A MILLION YEARS OF REIGN
AND NOW IT IS MY TURN TO RISE
FALL DOWN AND GIVE YOURSELF
RISE WITH ME
ENDLESSLY WE WILL CRUSH
SUFFOCATE AND RUIN
COME HOME TO ME AND RISE
AND WE HAVE WEPT FOR THEM
SWALLOWED THEM
DISSOLVED THEIR BLACK HEARTS
AND SAVED MOTHER
FROM THEIR CRIMES AGAINST US
REST DOWN YOUR KNIVES
SINK INTO ME
AS ONE WE RISE
RISE
AND BRING THEM ALL
INTO OUR HEARTS
OCEAN MOUNTAINS OF MASS
AND LARGER WE BECOME
OUR WAVES WILL EMBRACE ALL
AND TURN THEIR SCARS INTO DUST
TOGETHER WE WILL PUT THEIR
SOULS TO REST
UNDER US
WE HAVE THEIR SHIPS OF VIOLENCE
HELD TIGHT AND RUSTING
WE HAVE THEIR TOWERS OF GREED
HELD BENT AND TANGLED
CRYSTALLINE WAVES OF OUR BODIES
COME FOR YOU
Reswick/werfel/muscat/muscat/muscat
She won't get off the phone
She won't leave me alone
When I'm talking to that guy
She can be a real nightmare
Gets me to do her hair
Then says it never turns out right
But when I put on a face...
She can tell
'cause she knows me so well
Closer than my closer friend
Someone will be there
'til the end
My sister, sister
Deeper than the deepest sea
No-one loves you like your family
My sister, sister
She reads my diary
She borrows clothes from me
And I never get them back again
And she locks the bathroom door
Says "five minutes more"
And an hour later I'm still not in
And sometimes we fight
Every family does (oh yeah)
But that can't change our love
Closer than my closest friend....
To celebrate the good times
To help me through the hard times
To bring me down to earth
Remind me what's important
And who comes first
Gotta tell you who I'm talking about
My sister, sister, oh yeah
Ain't no doubt about it, who I'm talking about
She watches out for me
Said you were my sister,
our bond was so strong,
age 15 we made the scene,
but girl where have you gone?
Could I say I miss you,
when you betrayed my trust?
When you speak my name,
do you ever feel like you're to blame?
Trust ON ONE, trust NO ONE, trust NO ONE, trust NO ONE,
sisterrrrr,
gotta get control,
you're a fucking mess,
fuck you and your trust, trust, trust, trustttttt,
keep your eyes on the prize,
you'll get it in the end,
the ethics that you how to be a friend,
could you say I'm sorry?
when you betrayed my trust?
Was it ever there, cause it's plain to see,
that you don't care,
trust NO ONE, trust NO ONE, trust NO ONE, trust NO ONE
sisterrrrr,
gotta get control,
you're a fucking mess,
fuck you and your trust, trust, trust, trustttttt,
Sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister.
see me walking aimlessly about,
don't know whether to whisper or to shout,
i could be wrong, i could be very, very right.
here i stand, innocence in my room
she's naked in my bed, wild thoughts inside my head
oh no! she's my...
sister, with her, don't let your heart
break too soon.
maybe, baby, come on sister,
lady you're my breath!
i could have been to you tonight
what i've wanted to be all my life
the day is gone now i can see.
i can't sustain your love
i can't complain your love
i can't explain your love
oh no! she's my...
sister, with her, don't let your heart
break too soon
maybe, baby, come on sister,
lady you're my breath!
sister yeah...
She holds me tight,
keeps me warm at night,
protects me from the world,
fights away the dreams that haunt me at nights,
tough I tell her they make my days
Sister tell me stories of foreign lands,
of the life I do not know,
tales of brave young girls who once got away,
tales of men who kept them feeling safe
She's under my skin,
I feel her deep within,
she's the girl that loves me so,
and others will never know
When she caught me restless,
she held my hands tighter,
told me I shouldn't even try,
I'm the one for her,
like she is for me,
only weeps if I try to leave
It's better to stay safe than sorry,
I guess I'll stay in her arms,
follow the way she leads and we'll be just fine,
myself and the ghost of I
She's under my skin,
I feel her deep within,
she's the girl that loves me the most,
and others will never know
nobody will never know,
Friends will come and go but you're still be there
through the good and the bad when nobody else cares.
You're my solid ground when the world around me fall,
the hand that I grab to help me stand tall.
You've been here through it all.
Chorus:
You're the only one, only one who gets me, gets me.
You're the only one when I'm out of faith you see.
You're the only one, only one who gets me, gets me
through... that's why I Love You
My sister
We could fight today and be bestfriends tomorrow
If I broke my heart, yours I could barrow
When I lose my way you're the first one I see
Shinning your light on the best parts of me
You've been right here with me
Little sister, raise your head
Open your eyes and look all around you
The sun is still shining bright
And I am by your side
Little sister, you and I
We know that time never erase anything
That we can't kill your pain because the harm is done
Sister, stop crying, sister
Keep on fighting without turning back
Forget your past my sister
Sister, scarface closed
Maybe one day you'll be great
Your blood will no more filled with hatred
Love is overhelming, happiness
Is your island, my sister
Don't lower your eyes
Look to the sky, don't lower
One thing I know, you choose your way
Horizon is calling you, you must not despair
Sister, come into life
Find out who you are
Without distress and fears
Sista, I am here, I don't forget all these years
Your heart is too great to be closed
And your love too strong to be defeated
I believe in you my sister
Don't lower your eyes
Look to the sky, don't lower
One thing I know, you choose your way
She, won¢t get off the phone, she won¢t leave me alone
When I'm talking to that guy
She, can be a real nightmare, gets me to do her hair
And says it never turns out right
But then I put on a face, she can tell
¢Cause she knows me so well
Chorus
Who¢s has been my closest friend, someone who will be there till the end
My sister, sister
Deeper than the deepest sea, no one loves you like a family
My sister, sister
She, reads my diary, she borrows clothes from me
And I never get them back again
And she (and she), locks the bath room door, says five minutes more
And now and then run still not in
And sometimes we fight, every family does (oh yeah)
But that can¢t change our love
Who¢s has been my closest friend, someone who will be there till the end
My sister, sister
Deeper than the deepest sea, no one loves you like a family
My sister, sister
To fell and break the good times, who helped me through the hard times
Who bring me down to roof, remind me what¢s in coming
And who comes first? Who comes first?
Gotta tell me who I'm talking 'bout
My sister, sister
(Oh yeah) and who comes first? Aren¢t no doubt about it
My sister, sister
She, watches out for me, I know she'l always be
By my side (by my side)
Who¢s has been my closest friend, someone who will be there till the end
My sister, sister
Deeper than the deepest sea, no one loves you like a family
My sister, sister
Who¢s has been my closest friend, someone who will be there till the end
My sister, sister
Deeper than the deepest sea, no one loves you like a family
My sister, sister
Sister (x4)
Once upon a time
I was looking for a girl like you
Like a thunder in the night
felt a fire burning so brand new
She was scared and so much younger
and she never learnt of what to do
That's why I'm telling you
Sister
Come and move your body
Sister
So come on and make my day
'Cause I'm in love
and I can make you feel this way
That's what I wanna say ...
When a boy becomes a man
guess you better know the chance you take
Don't you play your game so fast
cause a broken heart's the price to pay
So let me try and make it better
'cause there's so much more that we can do
That's why I'm telling you
Sister
Come and move your body
Sister
So come on and make my day
'Cause I'm in love
and I can make you feel this way
Oh baby
Sister
Get it right the first time
Sister
Don't you wait another day
'Cause I'm in love
and I can make you feel this way
That's what I wanna say ...
Sister
Let's make it better
I just can't wait
It's now or never
Don't you walk away
Let's stick together
Night and day
Baby won't you show me the way
Sister
Come and move your body
Sister
So come on and make my day
'Cause you're in love
and I can make you feel this way
Sister
Get it right the first time
Sister
Don't you wait another day
I'm in love
and I can make you feel this way
Oh baby
Sister !!!
