Brother - Sister

by Tameko Barnette and Trina Williams-Emigh



Brother
Brother
Brother
You have allowed your environment to condition you into self destruction
You believe that being tough and hard, commands respect
But respect is given to the Brothe who,
Cherishes life
Accepts his responsibility
Works for his money
Respects women

Sister
Sister
Sister
You have allowed your environment to dictate you into self destruction
You believe that you have to accept our Brothers disrespect
But respect is given to the Sister who,
Loves herself
Leads not follows
Makes her own money
Treasures her body

Brother
Brother
Brother
You have allowed your mentality to wither within the worlds chaos
You believe that you don't have to work hard, for what you want
But dignity is given to the Brother who,
Realizes his dreams
Let's them manifest daily
Makes those dreams come true
Builds self esteem




Sister
Sister
Sister
You have allowed your mentality to crumble in the midst of life's trials
You believe that you should use your body, to get what you want
But dignity is given to the Sister who,
Flaunts her intelligence
Broadens her mind
Shares her talents with others
Wears her crown
