La da, da, da 
Hey sister 
It's all in her eyes, you and me 
Words just disguise all the things that you need 

What is deep, it's deeper than skin 
So Lord only knows 
This kind of vibe gets stronger in time 
Won't go on unnoticed 

So concrete can't hold it 
Hearts filled righteously 
Whatever it is, I know that it's real 
As long as you know 

No complaints, you're all that I feel 
(Sista soul) 
You must be my soul sista, soul sista, hey sis 
(Sista soul) 

You must be my soul sista, soul sista, hey sis 
(Sista soul) 
You must be my soul sista, soul sista 
(Sista soul) 

You-ooh are so fine 
Like spaces that fall in my soul 
Sweet baby that has no rhyme, yeah 
Do you like how it feels when I smoke you out? 

Head down to your toes 
Making you (making you, making you) scream and shout 
You must be my soul sista, soul sista, you my 
(Sista soul) 

You must be my soul sista, soul sista, you my 
(Sista soul) 
You must be my soul sista, soul sista, you my 
(Sista soul) 

You must be my soul sista, soul sista, yeah 
(Sista soul) 
(Sista soul) 
You must be my soul sista, soul sista, sista, sista, sista soul 

(Sista soul) 
Sista, soul sista 
Soul sista, 
Hey baby, can I talk to you? 

Can I love you in the right way? 
Please your soul, hold you 
Baby I want to love you 
You know baby I want to 

Love you in the right way 
Hold you because your my 
Soul sista baby you're my sista 
All I want to do is love you in the right way 

Hold you, only because you are 
My soul sista, soul...
