Ursula Rucker - Supa Sista Lyrics

Supa Sista
I see you off in the distance
Comin' at me like a twister
Packing more force than a four-time
Heavyweight champion
Kinky coil topped cauldron
Of pain, passion and black mama strength
Hellbent on
Making your mark in this world
Angry ghetto-grown whirl-a-girl (hm)

Swirlin'
Twirlin'
Your way through the
Darkest of days and
The brightest of nights trying
To fit some love in between

Supa Sista
I see you off in the distance
Pistons ablaze as you raise
Your black mistas to be
Victors not victims
Of the systems and prisons
Aimed at stifling their visions

Your mission is clear
Fear that ain't even no option
With your son on that frontline
There's no time, grab that TEC-9

Don't give them suckas one second
To blink (to blink)

Supa Sista
I see you off in the distance
Gaining momentum
As you deconstruct their preconceived misconceptions

Blowing their notions right up out the ocean
Pathway to your auction

Rape, hate, blame, conversion
Rape, hate, blame, conversion

I call on all Supa Sistras to emerge from
The muck and the mire
Set the brainwashed-up masses on fire

I call on all Supa Sista to enlist her
In-house divinity, see
We may plea but never bargain
For the lives of our daughters and sons
There really needs to be just one love
One love
One love
