Sisters 4 Lyfe

You have no idea why she's here
and why she continues to be 
You wanna tell me that
she isn't any good for me
you keep trying to convince me
that she will be my down fall
But what you don't see 
Is whether down or up she has always
been there

She rode life right along side me 
like a roller coaster despite the throw up
and the fear.
Most of the time she's there
more than my own family is.
We've got pretend blood 
running through each others veins
Were family we just don't have the same name

I feel like through the strive 
she was my pillow whenever I was crying
You say I'll grow out of it
that eventually I'll see her friendship
reaps no benefits
But we've been in this to long
to sing any childish good bye songs
I have good intuition 
I've knocked so many bad friends 
off the shelve cause they weren't
really true.

You say I need someone to make
me strong.
Well in this crazy world without her 
by my side I feel I don't belong
So I'm sorry but in this situation 
I'm gonna tell you that your wrong.
Even though you disapprove 
our friendship will remain strong.
She isn't going anywhere.
Best friends like us are rare.

I prayed through the rain and all
the pain that they'd send me 
someone who truly understands me.
Someone up there was listening 
because now I have someone 
to fight the storm with.
