hush, little sister

Hey, little sister You want to know why I’m not there? It’s a sad story, little sister But people should care You see, little sister One day daddy got high You were asleep in your crib So you didn’t hear me cry He screamed at me And smashed my head against the door While you slept, little sister I died on the floor You know, little sister I don’t think I would have died  If someone only bothered To listen to my cries I’m sorry, little sister He’s in a bad mood Run while you can Uh oh, little sister He’s lifting his belt Scream while you can, little sister Call for help Hush, little sister You don’t need to cry No one can hurt you You’re in my arms tonight
