For My Sistas (LP Version)
For My Sistas -Coolio
Now I didn't use the word
B**ch a few times in a rhyme but
Now it's '95so let me drop a line
This goes out to the young black queens
On the neighborhood scene
Who haven't lost their dream
I know sometimes
It seems like it ain't no love
And to get where you go ya
Got to push an'shove
Around the way girl
With hope in your heart
Do his five in the purse
An'five in the start
She's the kinda woman ya
Take home to momma
The only kind you ever
Let get past the drama
Coolio know
That you ain't no ho
And it's time to put you up
On a pedestal seat
Queen of the entire universe
And you know how I know
That you were put here first
An'to every ni**a that dissed ya
An'every ni**a that hit ya
Accept my apologies for my brothaz
My sista
Give it up for my sistas
Give it up for my sistas
Give it up for my sistas
You're all I need
Princess of the Nile
An'sweet black sexy child
Ooh I like your style huh
First motha on the planet
I know it's gettin'scary
And all these wannabe
Pimps is all that ya meet
But ya gotta shake 'em off
Like fleas an'ni**a meat
And use your God-given talents and abilities
No matta where ya from ya
Get much respect
From the top of
Your neck to your county check
I see ya waitin'for the bus
In the early morn
Brick house with a face like Leena Horne
I ain't no cap to save a ho
But I got your front
An'your side an'your back
If that's what ya want
So when it's time to put it down
I won't be runnin'
Ya got a dear lil'
Somethin'like Harriet Tubmanm huh
No matta what ya do or where ya go
Ya got love from a ni**a named Coolio
My sista
Give it up for my sistas
Give it up for my sistas
Give it up for my sistas
You're all I need
Hernie Dipp got the lips
Finga tips and the hips
Ta make mice outa
The crazy-a**Bloodz and Crypts
Make a ni**a sing a song all night long
Til'his voice is gone
Wit'no music on
You can be a busta on a hardass low
An'should be down wit'your a**
When your poor and broke
And um uh
Every time ya need I'll owe ya
Gotta do is make a phone call cuz
When ya say 'come'ya know
She's on her way
Wit'no hesitance
An'any type of the leg
I talk about my granny
Batana an'Vanita
Jacki an'Nicole an'Grandy an'Artisha
I gots to give credit where credit is due
An'all credit that is credited is credit to you
I give praise to your wayz
An'for all my day
Apologies much respect to the sons I raise
My sista
Give it up for my sistas
Give it up for my sistas
Come on
Give it up for my sistas
You're all I need
Give it up for my sistas
Come on
Give it up for my sistas
Give it up for my sistas
You're all I need
Give it up for my sistas
Come on
Give it up for my sistas
