Supa Sista Songtext

von 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
