“Lil Sis” is the tenth track on Lloyd’s fifth studio album, “Tru”. This is an important and personal song for Lloyd and his family. His little sister transitioned in 1992. This is Lloyd’s first time, musically, talking about the impact of her death.
[Intro : The Spelman Women's Choir & Lloyd]
Ooh, I miss you, I miss you
Ooh, I miss you, I miss you
Think about you every day, little sister
With the faith that one day, one day we’ll meet again
[Verse 1: Lloyd]
Hey little one, it’s your big big bro catching up with you
I dialed up the lord on my hard life
And I asked him to get me in touch with you
Oh, hey little one, last night I had a dream that you felt through
Know we haven’t seen each other in a long while
And they’re so much shit I wanna tell you like
Like did you know there’s nothing you cannot be
God, you and dad, that’s my top three
Like did you know that now you’re an auntie
And did you know your mama’s in recovery
‘Cause when she lost you, she took it hard
I admit the same, it shook my heart
But you’re the reason why I looked to God
[Chorus: Lloyd]
And I wish, I wish
That sometimes I wouldn’t feel like this
So I had to write a song for the one that I miss (yeah)
My sis, my sis
I know, I know
That you will be with me everywhere that I go
So my angel, help me fly, until we meet on the other side
[Verse 2: Lloyd]
Hey little one, I still see you like it’s 92
And I remember on a day when you came home
And I was so thrilled I ain’t know what to do, no
Hey little one, I remember holding up your little head for you
Thinking one day you’d do the same for me
But I guess god had another plan for ya
Can somebody please tell me why (tee me why)
Why it’s so hard to say goodbye (to say goodbye)
Keep my head up, I swear I try
But I think about you every day and cry, oh
Then I wipe away the tears, look up, and smile
‘Cause I see you through my only child
[Chorus: Lloyd & The Spelman Women's Choir]
And I wish, I wish
That sometimes I wouldn’t feel like this
So I had to write a song for the one that I miss (yeah)
My sis, my sis
I know, I know
That you will be with me everywhere that I go
So my angel, help me fly, until we meet on the other side
And I wish, I wish
That sometimes I wouldn’t feel like this
So I had to write a song for the one that I miss, yeah
My sis, my sis
I know, I know
That you will be with me everywhere that I go (go)
So my angel, help me fly (help me fly), until we meet on the other side
[Bridge: Female Lead Vocalist & Choir]
Where will I, where will I be, without the ones, the ones that I love
And I know, smiling down on me from heaven right above all
Sometimes I, cry ‘cause you’re gone now
That’s alright ‘cause you’re home now
And one day I’ll fly away, I’ll find you and say
I love you little sister, yeah
I love little sister, yeah
[Outro: Lloyd]
This one goes out to you, this one goes out to you
This one goes out to you, this one
