"Dear Sister" lyrics
Just listen
I'll always love you
But I won't ever trust you
Now, I gotta say "goodbye"
Now, I gotta say "goodbye"
I'm writing you this letter
Dear sister, I hope you get better
I hope you get help
I hope you go to therapy
And do the inner work to find happiness and clarity
The reason why I'm torn
Is you told me you wished I was never born
You're narcissistic
Your ways are sadistic
You told me our dad wished I never existed
You tried to control my life
And you disrespected me
Disrespected my wife
I don't play about her
Where do I begin?
You hate her based on the color of her skin
Hurt people hurt people
That's the way it goes
Dear sister, we used to be so close
It's a tragedy
This is my reality
I've been stabbed in the back by my own family
Damn
I'll always love you
But I won't ever trust you
Now, I gotta say "goodbye"
Now, I gotta say "goodbye"
I'll always love you
But I won't ever trust you
Now, I gotta say "goodbye"
Now, I gotta say "goodbye"
It was a Tuesday evening
Me and Dean were playing soccer and we were leaving
Then you started yelling at us
And by the end
You threatened us
Called us "violent black men"
I'm 'a be honest
I'm 'a keep it real
You said that in public
And that could have got us killed
False accusations is something I don't play with
And what you did to us that evening was dangerous
You told me, "Zach, here's some advice:
Doing music will ruin your life."
You told me my music would never take flight
Turns out you were wrong
Turns out I was right
Over 200 hundred million streams
Living out my dream
Hurts your self-esteem
It was "Family over everything"
No in-between
But you don't even see me as a human being
You stabbed me in the back and you hurt me
And I was grieving
You held my head under water until I was barely breathing
I was drowning in the deep en
My whole body was weakened
I was screaming, looking for air, reaching
My pain increasing
Yeah
That's was it feels life for real
This life-long trauma you caused, I gotta heal
Yeah
But I will recover
I'm praying for you
Sincerely, your little brother
I'll always love you
But I won't ever trust you
Now, I gotta say "goodbye"
Now, I gotta say "goodbye"
I'm writing you this letter
Dear sister, I hope you get better
I hope you get help
I hope you go to therapy
And do the inner work to find happiness and clarity
The reason why I'm torn
Is you told me you wished I was never born
You're narcissistic
Your ways are sadistic
You told me our dad wished I never existed
You tried to control my life
And you disrespected me
Disrespected my wife
I don't play about her
Where do I begin?
You hate her based on the color of her skin
Hurt people hurt people
That's the way it goes
Dear sister, we used to be so close
It's a tragedy
This is my reality
I've been stabbed in the back by my own family
Damn
I'll always love you
But I won't ever trust you
Now, I gotta say "goodbye"
Now, I gotta say "goodbye"
I'll always love you
But I won't ever trust you
Now, I gotta say "goodbye"
Now, I gotta say "goodbye"
