Songtext zu 'Sister Feat Donovan' von Badi

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 that's 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 what's 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 it's 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 don't 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 what's 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
