(Intro – Puff Daddy)
Can’t let em take your spirit
Never let em take your soul
(Verse – Ty Dolla $ign & Kanye West)
Sister don’t let your guard down
You know there’s more out there waiting for you
Hell naw, no, sister don’t let your guard down
You’ve come way, way too far now
Lesson learned, lesson learned
Lessons learned, lessons learned, lessons learned
May your future last long, past, present
Faith strong, hold on to heaven
One hand up, hold onto heaven
God bless us with every second on earth
Same as the legend was told
To my ears at 5 years old
Sister don’t let your guard down
You’ve got too much s**t going on yeah
But I know you’ve been working through all that
Know you, I know you’ve been going through it your whole life
And I say, brother don’t let your guards down
Body’s starting to rot now
Know you’ve been working that body all night
But it’s 3am and we bout to go up again
It’s 3 am and we’re just starting again
It’s 3 am and we’re just starting again
Sister don’t let your guard down
I know you’ve been working hard now
Brother don’t let your guard down
Nah, nah, nah
And the fight not over, the fight just beginning
The last kid exposed, soon as he went it
The devil is smiling
The guy keeps on sinning
Don’t let them take over the heart within
Sister don’t let your guard down
It’s bout to get hard now
And brother don’t let your love go
Support her in the best way you know how
Love on your woman, step by your brother
Hold on to your loved ones
I know we’ve all lost some
Pray before rain falls, the devils are coming
They don’t share the love but they’re up to something
I know it, I know that they’re up to something
I know, I know it, that they’re up to something
So, sister don’t let your guard down
Sh*t’s about to get hard now
Brother don’t let them on now
Protect them the best way you know how
The best way that you know
The best way that you know, the best way that you know how
Brother Protect her the best way that you know
The best way that you know, he best way that you know how
(Interlude – Puff Daddy)
Sometimes when you have something, it’s like you take it for granted
And sometimes something loves you and you don’t love it back
See right now wish you was here
I wish you was here so I could hold you down
I wish you was here so you could hold me down
This to my brother, this to my sister, this to my Queen
