Sistah Souljah

I'm tryna tell em I got pain
That didn't come from no one else
Cause my momma didn't know she would have a daughter like herself
And My spirit is only tainted
Images rearrange when you recognize
That you hurting from somebody else's pain
That's just genetics tho

Tell my self I'm over thinking
But it's necessary
Every trip I took
The cat and mouse
Was Uncle Tom and jerry
Never catching

Everlasting cycle
Take a toll on me
Snitches get stitches
Said it was different
And they told on me

I done seen a lot now I got diamonds
In my eyes
And I pray that when I go
The stars align
The time is mine
And I got time upon my side
But who's to say
I live or die
I look up to sister souljah
She was fallin from the sky
So I'm gone

The black man's biggest problem is his ego
And every black women feel a need to be the hero
And black boys want the black girls to be submissive
But if momma didn't scream the way she did
I wouldn't listen

It's some things I just can't play about
I done had to break myself
To find a way to elevate
I close my eyes
To meditate

So when I say we not the same
I mean it when I say it
might relate the situation
But for me I'm tryna change it

I done seen a lot now I got diamonds
In my eyes
And I pray that when I go
The stars align
The time is mine
And I got time upon my side
But who's to say
I live or die
I look up to sister souljah
She was fallin from the sky

I done seen a lot now I got diamonds
In my eyes
And I pray that when I go
The stars align
The time is mine
And I got time upon my side
But who's to say
I live or die
I look up to sister souljah
She was fallin from the sky
