Message to My Young Sistas (lyrics below)
Written & Produced by Marcellus T.

Verse 1:
(This is a message to my)
Young sistas, if no one ever told you you were gifted
I wanna let you know and I ain't gotta be explicit
Cause you a blessing, girl, an angel, beauty so exquisite
I'm not just talking bout your features, give me a minute
I know you're used to rappers calling you dirty names
The media be tryna tell you that you're ugly and
They say you don't deserve a future with a real man
Now why they always wanna diss you, I don't understand
This ain't about them, its all about you
Just wanna tell you anything you put your mind to
Baby girl, you can do and probably do it better
Than anybody tryna hold you down cause they can never
Take away your heart, girl, or who you are inside
And anybody said you couldn't do it, girl they lied
So prove them wrong, girl, and when they try to diss ya
Just remember what I told ya, a message to my young sistas.

Chorus:
This is a message to my
Young sistas, my young sistas,
I hope you keep faith, keep hope,
Keep believing, keep dreaming,
All my young sistas, my young sistas,
I hope you keep faith, keep hope,
Keep believing, keep dreaming.

Verse 2:
And now another thing, don't let any man define your self-esteem
Mentally u gotta have the strength to live your own dream
Get your education, baby girl, and do your own thing
Know that you're a queen and never settle for anything
Cause you can have anything you dream: you might
Feel like you can't cause I know you've been through some things
But anything that you believe, girl, is not extreme
So keep faith, keep hope, girl, and live your dream
Just look at all the sistas from Oprah to
The First Lady, you can do it baby; I know it might sound
Crazy but its all gravy, and even when I think about
The Black queen that raised me, I know you gotta face
Obstacles but you should know even through
The hard times, baby girl, you can grow:
A message to my young sistas so you can know that anything is
Possible if you keep hope.
