Keyshia Cole
Oh, Sister Keyshia
Oakland loves you
Like you love Oakland
We honor and respect you
Your creativity, your humanity
The wisdom of your life
Lessons of love between you and your mom and family
All sisters and brothers need to know and master
The unconditional love that is you
The faith and determination
We love your inspiration
We need your love lessons right now in Oakland
We need you to let your little light shine
So we can see through the dark moments that consume us
When love is gone and bitterness makes us drunk
Hateful and spiteful, jealous and envious
Oh, Sister Keyshia
Sing us a happy song
How you got ova
In spite of all the blocks in your path
All the rats and vermin, the roaches and flies
Couldn’t turn you round
Just made you stronger
Made you the beautiful woman we love.
