Supa Sista Lyrics & Chords By Ursula Rucker

I rose and fell
as he called my name
I played his game
as...
he came and came
then...
he changed my name
called my blackness untame
he...
put me in chains
then...
he changed my name
then...
he changed my names...
But now i will rewite history
Supa Sista
I see you off in the distance
comin' at me like a twister
packing more force than a four-time
heavyweight champion
kinkycoil topped cauldron
of pain, passion and black-mama strength
hellbent on
making your mark in this world
Angry ghetto-grown whril-a-girl
Hmmmm
swirlin'
twirlin'
your way
through the
darkest of days and
the brightest of nights
trying to fit some love... in... between
Supa Sista
Supa Sista Sista
Supa Sista
Supa Sista Sista
Supa Sista
I see you off in the distance
pistons ablaze
as you raise
your black mistas
to be
victors not victims
of systems and prisons
aimed at stifling their... visions
Your mission is clear
fear isw not even an option
with your son on that frontline
ther's no time
grab your tek9
Don't give them suckas one second
to blink
to blink
Supa Sista
Supa Sista Sista
Supa Sista
Supa Sista Sista
Supa Sista
I see you off in the distance
gaining momentum
as you deconstruct their preconceived mis-conceptions
Blowing their notions
right up out the ocean
pathway to your auction
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
there really ought to be just...
one love
just one love
just one love
just one love
