Heather Headley - Sista Girl Lyrics

This is for my sisters
And all my sister girls
Um
Yeah
She was 5 foot 9
If she didn't wear shoes
Body like a goddess
Walk by her own rules
Reigned supreme over her ghetto kingdom
Possessed intellectual wisdom
Any man she met wanted a piece of her
Bought her fine things in hopes to creep with her
Talked like 25
Looked like 23
Who could believe the sistas only 14

[Chorus]
Hold On
If You Can
Cross Your Legs
Forget that man
Someday
You'll look back and understand
Sista Girl(sista girl)
Only a child Walkin' around,
Sista girl(sista girl)
Don't let him rock your world
Sista Girl(sista girl)
Do do do do do
Sista Girl(sista girl)

You're Only 14
In retrospect he wasn't really her type
But he was tall with big hands and the sexiest eyes
So she fell for him and in the blink of an eye
He became part of her for the rest of her life
Four months later considering her plight
Belly's gettin' bigger she saw the plus sign
So she she calls him up hoping he'll ease her pain
(oh) Don't remember her name

[Chorus]

Sista Girl(sista girl)

Only 14
Hey mm hey, hey
Hummm Momma used to say sweet child
The world is at your door
Don't give it all away
Just look
There's so much of life in store for you
Baby wait and see
Take your time
Feed your mind
Be free

Hey to the mothers and the daddies
And the sistas and the baby girls
Oh lord have mercy
Be my world sista girl
Back ground singers)
To the mothers and the daddies
And the sistas and the baby girls
Do do do do do

Hold on
Be strong
Sista girl
Hey Hey Hey Hey
You are only a baby sista
Sista sista sista sista girl
Cause you're only 14

Hey to the mothers and the daddies
And the sistas and the baby girls

(Background singers)
Hey to the mothers and the daddies
And the sistas and the baby girls
Only 14
Oh sister
