Lyrics

Sister x2

Chorus:
Sister, I can't even hear your voice
Sister, I can't even smell your scent
You must be the one Allah sent
Sister, I can't even hear your voice
Sister, I can't even smell your scent
You must be the one Allah sent
Pious sister

Verse 1:
Walking in a black veil, talking in a low voice
She's embarrassed when she's out there in public
Her beauty is amazing but she don't make it public
She wears flats cuz the heels bring her tension
She must be the one my books used to mention
She don't wear make-up, she's HD clear
Her eyebrows haven't been threaded in a year
She got a head fulla knowledge and a heart full of fear
Eyes full of love and her hands full of care
Loose on the garments that she likes to wear
She could have a good body but she prevents the stares
I like the way she gets all embarrassed when I recite a verse
Like the way she wears her abayah with the Converse
And she ain't the type to let me go to sleep, stressful
Cuz she don't wanna get cursed by the angels

Chorus:
Sister, I can't even hear your voice
Sister, I can't even smell your scent
You must be the one Allah sent
Sister, I can't even hear your voice
Sister, I can't even smell your scent
You must be the one Allah sent
Pious sister

Verse 2:
And I love them sisters that try hard
I know it can't be easy in that headscarf
Especially on your own, when the night's dark
In a world where any moment an attack could start
But you got faith in the Lord above
Some cover their face and their hands with gloves
And they're calling us extreme but that's nothing new
The ones that came before us were strange too
And I know some need support, on a daily struggle
And they'd rather close their palm and point a finger
Then extend an arm and help a sister
We are in this together
Every female's my aunt, sister or mother
And I love you all, it's a bond stronger than any other, oh

Chorus:
Sister, I can't even hear your voice
Sister, I can't even smell your scent
You must be the one Allah sent
Sister, I can't even hear your voice
Sister, I can't even smell your scent
You must be the one Allah sent
Pious sister
