Verse 1
D 
Yeah, this a song
for my sisters
C#m 
Whenever    y 'all feel alone,
play this song know I'm with ya,
F#m 
we don't always get along,
but that don't mean that I'm against ya
Em 
I just used to give y 'all hell,
cause I thought it would prevent ya
D 
From making some decisions
that could put you in harm's way
C#m 
But I never would've tripped,
if I knew it enough today
F#m 
Y 'all okay, now y 'all better than okay
Em 
Y 'all doing great, super straight,
super Gucci,
even what was on y 'all plate
D 
Man I'm proud of y 'all for real,
it's so much I wanna say
C#m 
Like Lindsey,  you really bossed up,
you came a long way
F#m 
All them  nights I used to pray to God
to please keep you safe
Em 
Cause the streets don't have no mercy,
and evil don't have a face
D 
You started dancing for money,
what was going through your head?
C#m 
I was mad at first,
but then I was like, fuck it,
get your bread
F#m 
Cause I     realized you ain't have
no help in life to get ahead
Em 
She was fucked up,
life ain't really like what
we had planned
D 
That's what we thought,
but I kept praying,
hoping that the Lord would bless you
C#m 
Then you   called me to tell me,
that you was pregnant with my nephew
F#m 
I was   happy you came home,
your life was changed forever
Em 
You had to  really slow it down,
had a reason to do better
D 
You got a  job,
then work your way up to
a corporate position
Dm 
C#m 
You let these hoes  who died
that you know, it's no competition
F#m 
They was wishin' you a fall,
but you made a smooth transition
Em 
Into motherhood,
like I knew you could, you winnin'
D 
And to the youngest Haley, my baby,
I'm proud of your grind
C#m 
When them cops hit Weston,
mama, y moved, and we lost time
F#m 
I hate you had to go
without your sisters by your side
Em 
Thinkin' bout you,
feelin' lonely,
do somethin' to me inside
D 
We never talk about it,
but just know I wrote this and cried
C#m 
I really love  you,
and that's something that
distance can't hide
F#m 
We ain't got the same father,
and as a kid, that had me bothered
Em 
To think of you as just my half -sister
D 
means not a damn thing
Our last names are the same,
C#m 
shit, our dad was your dad
He claimed you,
and I know you make him proud
F#m 
But what's the   odds of having two
and neither one being around?
Em 
I never thought about that pain
and how they both just let you down
D 
You got pregnant at a young age
and beat the statistics
C#m 
You finished school and you still going,
you set the bar for consistency
F#m 
Too optimistic and I love that
Your daughter's your twin
Em 
You know she tell it like it is
She can't hold nothin' in
D 
Once again,
I just had to let y know how I feel
C#m 
We livin' life  and it get busy
I understand it get real
F#m 
Havin' this  conversation in person
would be ideal
Em 
Goin' to therapy,
I see the different ways we can heal
D 
So know I love y 'all
C#
