Hook (melodic, aching):
You my sister for life, you my heart on the line,
When the world turned its back, you never left my side,
All the nights that I cried, you stayed up ’til sunrise,
You forever hold it down — that love don’t ever die.
Verse 1 (soft, remembering):
Remember cold nights on the block, we was prayin’ for more,
Hand-me-down dreams in your jacket, you believed at the core,
Mama’s kitchen smell, late laughter on the floor,
You picked me up when I stumbled, closed every open door.
Seen my worst and my scars, still you called me your own,
You taught me how to stand tall when every light was gone,
You the steady in my storm, the calm inside the bone,
You the voice sayin’ “keep goin’” when I felt so alone.
Pre-Hook (vulnerable):
Ain’t no measure for the things you done for me,
You traded fear for faith, gave me space just to be,
If I ever slip, remember you lifted me,
I swear I’ll do the same — that’s a vow eternally.
Hook (melodic):
You my sister for life, you my heart on the line,
When the world turned its back, you never left my side,
All the nights that I cried, you stayed up ’til sunrise,
You forever hold it down — that love don’t ever die.
Verse 2 (confessional, promise):
We had fights, cold shoulders, words that cut too deep,
But when the nights got heavy, you the promise that I keep,
You the one I call first, the one my soul can speak,
Through the highs and the lows, you the flame I won’t let sleep.
When they tried to count me out, you stood taller than them,
When my pockets were empty, you shared the last of your gems,
I owe you every sunrise, every prayer I send,
I’ll guard your name forever, on me it’ll depend.
Bridge (raw, intimate):
If they ever come for you, I’ll be right on the front line,
I’ll carry all your burdens, make your worries mine,
You gave me strength and reason when I had none to find,
I’ll be your shelter always — every day, every time.
Verse 3 (assured, forever):
No distance, no drama, no rain can change this truth,
You the mirror of my better days, the keeper of my youth,
I’ll ride for you like you rode for me, every sacrifice and bruise,
When life tries to steal your light, I’ll fight to bring the proof.
Best friend, sister, bloodless kin — your name tattooed in soul,
I promise loyalty eternal, together we stay whole,
You showed me what it means to love without control,
So here’s my heart — take it, keep it, I’ll never let it go.
Final Hook (big, heartfelt):
You my sister for life, you my heart on the line,
When the world turned its back, you never left my side,
All the nights that I cried, you stayed up ’til sunrise,
You forever hold it down — that love don’t ever die.
Outro (whispered, sincere):
Forever got your back, til the last breath I breathe,
You my ride or die sister — that’s my oath, that’s my creed.
