Sisterland

Lyrics

[Sample] Thank you very much The next number we'd like to do is dedicated to all the ladies [Intro] It's me, the brand new intelligent Black woman, Y-O-Y-O, which is Yo-Yo But I'm not to be played like I was made by Mattel For this Yo-Yo was made by woman and male I'm all about upright and uplifting the woman For they are superior to handle any male Any time, any rhyme, any flow, any show And if you ask my girls, they'll say [Verse 1] Now, everybody's talkin' that yo-yo But when they say "Yo" I think you're talking to me, so Here's what I do: I do waht I do best, grab the mic and say, "Mic check" Keep the crowd pumped just to earn my respect I keep 'em movin' and groovin' as if I was a digger I think the more that I'm into it is the more that they're feelin' I get loose, never perpetratin', not an imitator You have time to fake, I got money to make I have a job, to rock the mic the way I like to rap And as I rock the mic, this is what was Chill does the scratch, Jinx does the beat Ice Cube is a producer also down with SKP Everybody wants to know, am I against guys Just against the ones who think they're too high and too fly You know the ones who huff and puff, blow to get on But out to tell the ladies, "Hey, leave 'em alone" Well, this is not a competition, and I am not competing I guess you know right off the top that Yo will take no beating So ladies, take a stand, now what's the plan? This one's for us, we're taking it to Sisterland [Verse 2] Here's the situation, [?] When you think you high-post, somebody's hangin' from the end rope I thought you knew about it, I thought you peeped game [?] shame [?], and I'm the Yo, so of course I know About the drama, the drag, and the way they like to flow, show They approach you, schemin' like a demon You're a key to a piece of his mind and he's fiendin' It's all the same, the approach hasn't changed You got the body, the face, and all he asks is your name Treat you a little, show he's got a bit of class But if you let him touch that body... Dabble, little in and out, that's all he want, my friend Three in the morning, there's nothing open but ends I'll be the one to tell you, gotta act like they're out to get you He's got a rep, don't let him catch ya Okay, he told you stories on eye that was blind And that when he get a girl, he wanna wine and dine Go 'head, fall for it, sista, you'll have yourself to blame I tell a guy, "You're poppin' that same old thing You gotta come on, or don't come at all Stand weak, and you'll fall hard" I consider myself better than that, steppin' back Keepin' you filled with the shit that keeps your mind fat That's right, a woman with some way out flow And the Yo won't quit until you've had enough So ladies, take a stand, now what's the plan? This one's for us, we're taking it to Sisterland [Verse 3] Now, he's asking for a baby and you're only fifteen Don't know nothin' about parenthood, not even your genes You say you're ready, girl, you don't believe in what? You better store a little courage and play Miss Tough I tried to tell you the game so you would know the play '88 was for players but ain't nothin' changed This is a new year now, you gotta take a stand And I'm aware that everybody wants to find a true man But a man wants nothing lower than himself So while you're out there climbing, don't forget that extra step Ladies, take a stand, now what's the plan? This one's for us, we're taking it to Sisterland [Outro Sample] I feel real good this evening And I'd like to say I feel good for one reason: That we're all here together
