[Rhymefest] 
Yeah, this song right here 
Is about a lot of different - people, women I know 
Family members, things we go through, y'know? 
And, it just means that, sister I understand 
You can't have trials without tribulations 
And umm, sometimes we just need God to work that out 
I'ma kick it like this, look 

This beat reminds me of a lounge, on a Wednesday night 
Shorty chillin at the bar ain't have no friends in sight 
I rolls up like, "Damn girl, what you in tonight?" 
She looked up said, "This ain't how I wanna spend my life" 
Tears in her face, fear in her face 
Man this ain't about love, she was feelin disgraced 
She said, "In five years I got three kids, two different dads 
I'm pregnant now and I don't know who the father is" 
Heavy thing, she was tellin me everything 
Her mother became a widow before she got the wedding ring 
Shorty was locked in a prison, I wanted to set her free 
But I couldn't, so I sat and listened 
With no intermission, I didn't interrupt her 
To tell the truth, originally I just wanted to fuck her 
But, heh, I was like damn girl, you gon' be okay? 
She turned around and said 

[Chorus: Mike Payne] 
Yeahh, sister, I know that sometimes 
This world don't treat you, right, yeah 
And sister, I know that he left you 
with too many, responsibilities, yeahhh 

[Rhymefest] 
Look, love don't love nobody 
Drugs don't love nobody, so why you put that shit in your body? 
Now we can't have a decent conversation 
Cause she always shakin 
I tried to deny it at first, it bothers me now 
Don't ask for money, you done ten dollar'd me out 
I even took yo' kids when they put you out the last house 
But I will not babysit while you in a crackhouse! 
And I would hate, to turn 'em over to the state 
Look what I did, I let they bad-ass stay and just tear up my crib 
While you hurt me child, horribly 
He asked me why my momma love drugs more than me 
I couldn't answer, I sat back and peered in the sky 
I thought it was rainin, but damn, there was tears in my eyes 
He was like you gon' be alright Uncle Che? 
I'm like man, look 

[Chorus: Mike Payne] 
Yeahh, sister, don't you know 
You're worth, more than gold (way more than gold) yeahhhh 
And sister, don't you know 
I sew what's in your, souuuuuuuulll, yes I do yes I do 

[Mike Payne] 
And I know daddy did you wrong 
But you gooo-hooot to be strong 
Cause you will see... 
The sun shine... the sun gonna shine 
Yes you will see (you will see, you will see, you will see) 
The sun shine... (yeahhhhh yeahhhhh oh yeah) 
The sun's gon' shine (the sun's gon' shine) 
The sun's gon' shine (the sun's gon' shine) 
The sun's GON' shine (the sun's GON' shine) 
I said the sun's gon' shine (the sun's gon' shine) 
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh hmmmmmmmmmmmmm 
Oh sister I know 
Sister I know that it gets so hard for you babe 
(You don't understand) And that's why I'm here 
Baby you should have no fear (that's why I need ya) 
Sister sister sister sister sister
