Coolio - For My Sistas (Amended)(1995)

[00:21.55] Now I didn't use the word bitch a few times in a rhyme, but
[00:24.74] Now it's '95 so let me drop a line
[00:27.40] This goes out to the young black queens
[00:29.76] On the neighborhood scene
[00:31.51] Who haven't lost their dream
[00:32.98] I know sometimes it seems like it ain't no love
[00:35.13] And to get where you go ya got to push an' shove
[00:38.78] Around the way girl with hope in your heart
[00:41.01] Do his five in the purse an' five in the start
[00:44.14] She's the kinda woman ya take home to momma
[00:47.22] The only kind you ever let get past the drama
[00:50.01] Coolio know that you ain't no ho
[00:52.76] And it's time to put you up on a pedestal seat
[00:55.86] Queen of the entire universe
[00:58.35] And you know how I know that you were put here first
[01:00.61] An' to every nigga that dissed ya an' every nigga that hit ya
[01:03.67] Accept my apologies for my brothaz...
[01:06.33] (Chorus)
[01:07.29] My... sista...
[01:08.34] Give it up for my sistas
[01:11.92] Give it up for my sistas
[01:16.07] Give it up for my sistas
[01:22.19] You're all I need...
[01:28.40] Princess of the Nile
[01:29.81] An' sweet black sexy child
[01:31.62] Ooh I like your style, huh
[01:33.42] First motha on the planet
[01:35.30] I know it's gettin' scary
[01:37.19] And all these wannabe pimps is all that ya meet
[01:39.86] But ya gotta shake 'em off like fleas an' nigga meat
[01:42.56] And use your God-given talents and abilities
[01:45.24] No matta where ya from ya get much respect
[01:47.91] From the top of your neck to your county check
[01:51.17] I see ya waitin' for the bus in the early morn
[01:53.41] Brick house with a face like Leena Horne
[01:56.52] I ain't no cap to save a ho
[01:57.94] But I got your front
[01:59.74] An' your side an' your back if that's what ya want
[02:02.01] So when it's time to put it down I won't be runnin'
[02:04.75] Ya got a dear lil' somethin' like Harriet Tubmanm, huh
[02:07.98] No matta what ya do or where ya go
[02:10.63] Ya got love from a nigga named Coolio...
[02:13.36] -Chorus-
[02:35.36] Hernie Dipp got the lips, finga tips, and the hips
[02:38.59] Ta make mice outa the crazy-ass Bloodz and Crypts
[02:41.22] Make a nigga sing a song all night long
[02:43.56] Til' his voice is gone
