Little Sister

You seem cool, your thoughts collected
You're out of school and unprotected
The smile you wear tells me things are less than fine
You laugh and dance – I think you're happy Then by chance reality slaps me
It reveals the same old pain I used to know
Coming through the other side Means there's nothing left to hide
Little Sister, Little Sister
Can't measure up – an age-old message
So messed up we join the wreckage
When we believe that we're less than who we are
We buy with zeal – a promising potion
All to heal the downward motion
I want to know, sister, who are we trying to please?
In your heart you're not alone
It's saying, "sister, come on home"
Little Sister – come on home girl. Little Sister – you're not alone
A shiny stamp is the image
A virgin vamp on the line of scrimmage
She doesn't know that it's someone else's dream
We scratch the edge of their pictures
We're on the ledge like a fixture
Why do we fall for the doll of wax and straw?
