My Sisters' Keeper

I know it can be so hard Livin’ without familyyy It’s just me and my sisters We gotta get with the flow of things We are growin’ older but can’t get over The fact we have our own ways of being Our paths have separated a long time ago But that doesn’t mean we won’t ride for each other Die for our lives It’s my sisters’ I keep Get wild when they cry If you hurt one of mine, you will lie on your deathbed I’ll lay you to rest, then Protect all the rest from yours I’ll go to war for my blood I’ll give up more than I could Afford to or should I’ll shed an arm for this shit Inflict harm on a bitch That messes with my sisters So don’t try no tricks Or you might get picked up And beaten to death, then left in a ditch And if you f*ck with the baby, it’ll probably be Marilyn who carries out the hit We’re our sister’s keepers We’re the ones who keep her safe I’ll do the same for my older sister If the call just needs to be made We were made by each other, risen up to the top The first-born protected us from the harm of our pops She shielded us from the violence when he was beatin’ my mom But we’re all scarred from it Mellanie hates his guts And Marilyn is on and off With him and his shit I just get pissed off when he acts like a kid Like when he’s speedin’ on the highway, fuckin’ laughin’ and shit I give him benefit of doubt But sometimes I just wanna knock his ass out Like when he asks for some money But then he spends it on dumb things Pay your bills, motherfucker! Stop buyin’ the beer That’s what got you here You never learn now, do ya? Look what you made Your daughter is a better you But no thanks to dude She’s a givin’ kind of person She shares her food She thinks of everybody first Jot a note or two And if Mellanie doesn’t wanna go with you That is fine with us ‘cause you’re bad on moods And we’re our sister’s keepers We’re the ones who keep her safe I’ll do the same for my older sister If the call just needs to be made I’m my sisters’ keeper
