[Verse 1]
We've got to get stronger
Stronger as the people
We've got to get smarter
Smarter as a unit
And watch out for our children
Because they are our future
Appreciate our women
Because they bear our fruits, yeah-yeah
[Chorus]
My sister, my brother
My sister, my brother
My sister, my brother
My sister, my brother
My sister, my brother
My sister, my brother
My brother, my brother
My brother, my brother
My brother
[Verse 2]
We need to understand the strength and love us
With our head up, chest out, standing tall
And to be free like we want to be, yeah (Yeah, baby)
Say we got to stop hatred from within y'all
Be better with our money (Be better with our money)
That's the only way we get the land y'all (That's the only way we get the land y'all)
Hey, hey
Learn how to work it until it's smoother (Until it's smoother)
And if they ask if you gon' stop, we'll say "Hell nah"
And if they ask who came with me
[Chorus]
My sister (Yeah-yeah), my brother
My sister (You're my), my brother (You're my)
My sister (You're my), my brother (You're my)
My sister (You're my), my brother (You're my)
My sister (Even you), my brother (You too)
My sister (Even you), my brother (You're my)
My sister (You're my), my brother (You're my)
My brother (You're my), my brother (You're my)
My brother (You're my), my brother
My brother
[Outro]
We've come a long way
But still got far to go, oh-woah
Oh ask me and I'll say
The children will take us where we wanna go
'Cause our grandparents told us so, oh-woah
Don't you know the stars are just aligning
