Hello my sista				And I said
Hello my sista				"Because 'they' are looking
Hello my sista				for other members of their
they say					Special Family.
Hello my brotha				And I see you
Hello my sista				alienate them
Hello my brotha				so I say you cannot be a part
I say						of our Family,
I have been called "sista"		for you have cut off the love
by black, white				from those who seek to
and everything in-between		reach out to you.
And I have spoken to			I can't help but to feel sorry
brothas and sistas			for you... because you must live
black, white,				in a small, small world... indeed."
and everything in-between		Hello my sista
even though those words			Hello my sista
are not common in				Hello my sista
my vocabulary				they say
And I can do nothing but love		Hello my sista
my brothas and sistas			Hello my brotha
who are a part of the			Hello my sista
Special Family in my heart		I say
But someone once said
"How dare 'they' call us their
brothas and sistas?"
