But ya gotta shake 'em off like fleas an' nigga meat
Give it up for my sistas, yeah, give it up for my sistas
To make mice out of the crazy-ass Bloodz and Crypts
Til' his voice is gone with no music on
Brick house with a face like Leena Horne
Hernie Dipp got the lips, finga tips and the hips
She's the kinda woman you take home to momma
No matter what ya do or where ya go
Ya got a dear lil' somethin' like Harriet Tubmanm
Queen of the entire universe
An' your side an' your back if that's what ya want
And all these wannabe pimps is all that ya meet
Coolio yo, know that you ain't no, hoe
Ooh, I like your style
First motha on the planet, I know it's gettin' scary
My sista
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Apologies much respect to the sons I raise
Give it up for my sistas, come on and give it up for my sistas
An' to every nigga that dissed ya an' every nigga that hit ya
Give it up for my sistas, you're all I need
Come on and give it up for my sistas, you're all I need
And to get where you go, ya got to push an' shove
No matter where you from, ya get much respect
I see ya waitin' for the bus in the early morn
I got to give credit where credit is due
My sista
From the top of your neck to your county check
I talk about my granny, Batana, an' Vanita
So when it's time to put it down, I won't be runnin'
On the neighborhood scene who haven't lost their dream
Jacki an' Nicole an' Grandy an' Artisha
My sista
And you know how I know 'cause you were put here first
And every time ya need I'll owe ya
You can be a busta on a hard ass low
An' should be down wit' your ass when your poor and broke
Ya got love from a nigga named Coolio, yo
This goes out to the young black queens
Around the way, girl, with hope in your heart
Gotta do is make a phone call
Make a nigga sing a song all night long
Accept my apologies for my brotha's
I know sometimes it seems like it ain't no love
Princess of the Nile, sweet black sexy child
Give it up for my sistas 'cause you're all I need
The only kind you ever let get past the drama
Do his five in the purse an' five in the start
With no hesitance an' any type of the leg
And use your God given talents and abilities
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Give it up for my sistas, you're all I need
Give it up for my sistas, come on and give it up for my sistas
Give it up for my sistas, give it up for my sistas
I ain't no cap to save a hoe but I got your front
And it's time to put you up on a pedestal seat
An' all credit that is credited is credit to you
Give it up for my sistas, give it up for my sistas
I give praise to your ways an' for all my day
'Cause when ya say 'come' ya know she's on her way
