Now I done used the word bitch a few times in the rhyme But now it's 95 so let me drop a line This goes out to the young black queen It's on the neighborhood scene who haven't lost their dream I know sometimes it seems like it ain't no love And to get where you go you got to push and shove Around the way girl with hope in her heart News five in the purse and five in the star She's the kind of woman you take home to mama The only kind you ever let get past the drama Coolio know that you ain't no ho And it's time to put you up on the pedestal Queen of the entire universe And you know how I know cause you was put here first For every nigga that dissed you and every nigga that hit you Except my apologies for my brothers, my sister Give it up for my sister Give it up for my sister Give it up for my sister Cause you're all I need Princess of denial, sweet black sexy child Ooh, I like your style First mother on the planet I know is getting scams And all these wannabe pimps it's all in your mix But you got to shake them off like fleas in Italy And use your God given talents and ability No matter where you're from you get much respect From the top of your neck to your county check I see you waiting for the bus in the early morning Brick house with a face like Lena Horne I ain't no cap to save a hoe but I got your front And your side and your back if that's what you want So when it's time to put it down I won't be running You got to be a little tough like Harriet Tubman No matter what you do or where you go You got love from a nigga named Coolio, my sister Give it up for my sister Give it up for my sister Give it up for my sister Cause you're all I need Honey dip got the lips, fingertips and the hips To make mics out of crazy ass bloods and crips Make a nigga sing a song all night long Till his voice is gone with no music on You can be a buster or the hardest slope And ship it out with your ass when you're poor and broke And I'm uh, every time you need her all you gotta do is make a phone call Cause when you say come you know she's on her way With no hesitation or any type of delay I'm talking about my granny, Vanetta and Vanita Jackie and Nicole and Brandy and her teacher I gots to give credit where credit is due And all credit that is credited is credit to you I give praise to your ways and for all my days I vow to teach much respect to the sons I raise My sister Give it up for my sister Give it up for my sister Come on and give it up for my sister Cause you're all I need Give it up for my sister Come on and give it up for my sister Give it up for my sister Cause you're all I need Give it up for my sister Come on and give it up for my sister Come on and give it up for my sister Cause you're all I need
