SISTER/NATION lyrics

[Part 1: "SISTER"]

[Intro: Merlyn Wood]
Drink out the apple pie with it, yeah, yeah, yeah
I don't got no chains in my denim, yeah, yeah, yeah
I don't listen what the blogs tell me, yeah, yeah, yeah
I know n*ggas got their own agenda, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 1: Joba]
I've got ****, but you would never know
I like to hide them, so much I lose myself
That's why I'm pure to some, a psychopath to others
And grew up in counseling, flipping off my counselors
They gave me mood stabilizers
But when I came off 'em, I was violent
Took the drugs that I wanted, which didn't help with the voices
They just grew louder and louder
Like all the people who'd just chatter and chatter
I juggle all my personalities

[Interlude: Robert Ontenient]
Estoy tan harto y cansado
No puedo seguir haciendo esto
Ojalá pudiera rendirme
Pero tengo que seguir siendo fuerte para mi familia y mis amigos
[Verse 2: Kevin Abstract]
I feel myself getting better by the f*ckin' minute
'Member when my mama always had to save the minutes
"Throw Some D's" dropped, I wanted to be Russell Simmons
Better keep work 'em out, had an inner vision
Where the kitchen at? Keep the lyrics written
They been sellin' dope, askin' for forgiveness
I just ran into somebody sellin' lemonade
Kiss your kids tonight before them b*tches run away

[Chorus: Kevin Abstract]
Get your man, get your man all up off me
Think again, want a hundred bands around me
In December, I don't care what they call me

[Refrain: Kevin Abstract]
This for all my broke n*ggas, this for all them jokes, n*gga
That you n*ggas made when I was still livin' at home, n*gga
Did it on my own, n*gga, grew up and I bossed out
Grew up and I bossed out, grew up and I bossed out

[Verse 3: Matt Champion]
I see you peekin' through bushes
And tryna get secret ingredients from us
I know that you do it 'cause you see us boomin'
Like C4 when you hit that detonator
Lucky-lucky on the elevator
Eat my dust, baby, I'll see ya later
I could always call your bluff
You already said enough
Take a risk, b*tch, still sittin' on your ass, waitin' for a handout
Giving nothin', put your hands down
"Ooh, yeah, this for the culture"
"Ooh, yeah, this important"
f*ck off with that slang sh*t
f*ck off with that networking
Keep your mouth where the money at
[Bridge: Dom McLennon]
Yellow lights on my dashboard
Red flags in the rearview
I know I'm the one that made you upset
But all I wanna do is heal you
You know that lately I don't think straight
But I don't really know who do now
'Cause everybody got me f*cked up
I'm struggling with how to move now
Yellow lights on my dashboard
Red flags in the rearview
I know I'm the one that made you upset
But all I wanna do is heal you
You know that lately I don't think straight
But lately I don't know who do now
'Cause everybody got me f*cked up
I'm struggling with how to move now

[Chorus: Kevin Abstract]
Get your man, get your man all up off me
Think again, want a hundred bands around me
In December, I don't care what they call me
Get your man, get your man all up off me
Think again, want a hundred bands around me
In December, I don't care what they call me
Get your man, get your man all up off me
Think again, want a hundred bands around me
In December, I don't care what they call me
Get your man, get your man all up off me
Think again, want a hundred bands around me
In December, I don't care what they call me
[Part 2: "NATION"]

[Verse 1: Kevin Abstract]
Barely got control of it, must've got a hold of it
Threw me to the ground and left a scar right on my n*gga lips
I look in my closet when I think about the past life
Never good in my wallet, tryna see if I got my cash right
f*ck a flight, they ain't never wanna treat my bag right
f*ck a job, they ain't never treat my mom and dad right

[Verse 2: Ameer Vann]
I hate the quiet suburbs, I hate those picket fences
I hate the separation, first thing, they called me "n*gga"
I fight, I got suspended, my teacher saw me hit him
So they ain't listen to me, and from that moment on
I would learn that I was different, I would grow to see the difference
Second-guessing my decisions, Black bodies come up missing

[Chorus: Kevin Abstract]
I feel like all my days are coming to a blend
I feel like all my days are coming to a blend

[Verse 3: Dom McLennon]
I would walk through the halls at my own pace
Every lunch, I would float, having no place
All the books in my bag 'til my bones ache
Wonder how the world would be if I had no face
If I had no heart, if I had no skin
And I was just thoughts
Reminiscing on things that was brushed off
How my father tried to tell me I was just soft
When I look at the things that I've been through
And the things I survived, and at what cost
All the love in my life that I just lost
All the strength, perseverance, and above all
In the lies of the law, I'm a problem
In the eyes of the blogs, I'm a paycheck
In the eyes of the world, I'm a icon
In the eyes of my own, I ain't start yet
In the eyes of the law, I'm a problem
In the eyes of the blogs, I'm a paycheck
In the eyes of the world, I'm a icon
In the eyes that I own, I ain't start yet, I ain't start yet

[Bridge: Merlyn Wood]
Power, African power
Power, African power
Power, African power

[Chorus: Kevin Abstract]
I feel like all my days are coming to a blend
I feel like all my days are coming to a blend (Uh)
I feel like all my days are coming to a blend
I feel like all my days are coming to a blend
