(Strong as a) Sister

Where were you last year
And the year before that
Where were you this morning
And after that
Where will you be this afternoon
When we’re walking home
You call yourself his protector
But you couldn’t protect a, a, a Pocket!

Adults just don’t make sense
They think they’ve got it all under control
But when they turn their backs
It’s a Machiavellian free-for-all
With every boy out for himself
In this dog-eat-dog old world
Lamar, I’ll always have your back
You can’t bully this girl

So Listen, Mister
Nothing’s as strong as a sister
I’ll be there for you
Don’t you ever worry
I’ll come to your side in a hurry
I’ll know just what to do
I’ll always take care of you

Remember back in Philly
When we explored the woods
We knew every rock and tree
We could’ve mapped the neighborhoods
Well, that’s how well I know you now
And no one’s gonna do you no harm
And if they try to hurt you, well
They’ll have to answer to my rock-throwing arm

So Listen, Mister
Nothing’s as strong as a sister
I’ll be there for you
Don’t you ever worry
I’ll come to your side in a hurry
I’ll know just what to do
I’ll always take care of you

I’ll always be there for you
