De La Soul - Sibling Rivalries lyrics

[Verse 1] Baby sis, you got super sense hearin' and you touch too much You be all in my space, you consume my breath If I go left or right, then you'll go left Then you're right behind me like a quarterback I oughta rap about the times I used to change your loves And wash your baba off, but you done changed enough If I go out to play it's like, "No way, no how" Ain't no taggin' along, I'm in the 6th grade now I ask mama for some cake, you're like "I want some too" "Mama can I have a dime?" You're like "I want one too" When I asked her for a kiss, you cried "I want one too" Wish she would have asked if I wanted a sister And if I wished her away at my birthday cake You'd probably blow the candles out before me You the reason why I lost my lucky rock and my puppy rock Stressin' my time, tick tock and she don't stop [Hook] Ay, what's the matter with you, boy? Did your joy go away when Sis hit the playpen? You've been makin' a fuss, feelin' the achin' Of the grownin' pains of just maintainin' What's the matter with you, girl? If your world caves in, there should be no misbehavin' Understand lil' drama means well Maintain and time will tell (Maintain and time will tell) [Refrain] Only time will tell Only time will tell (only time, y'all!) Only time will tell Only time will tell (only time, y'all!) Only time will tell Only time will tell (only time, y'all!) Only time will tell Only time will tell (only time) [Verse 2] Only out to show love and concern, if you want it all badly Burn, don't act mad, don't call Mom and Dad Not grown, but not the younger than your own age To the stone ages, tellin' and tattlin' Yellin' and battlin' amongst the blood that ain't thicker than mud You dishin' Your karate can't match my kung fu (ya-tat!) I put it on you, kid, I did a bid on dish detail Why you clown me and wish me well? Always on my nerve like skin over the muscle And my hustle stay fresh and clean, sharp and mean My dean knows the best part of mom and pops Your R&B can't rough up my hip hop Am I my brother's keeper? No But I'll keep my eyes latched on him (so he don't snatch my gems!) My kicks scuff-free so when chicks bust me The dirt they find won't overshadow my quality time [Hook] Ayy what's the matter with you, boy? Did your joy go away when sis hit the playpen? You've been makin' a fuss, feelin' the achin' Of the grownin' pains of just maintainin' What's the matter with you, girl If your world caves in, there should be no misbehavin' Understand lil' drama means well Maintain and time will tell Ayy what's the matter with you, boy? Did your joy go away when sis hit the playpen? You've been makin' a fuss, feelin' the achin' Of the grownin' pains of just maintainin' What's the matter with you, girl If your world caves in, there should be no misbehavin' Understand lil' drama means well Maintain and time will tell Maintain, love
