Brother, I beseech you,
Listen to your older sister!
She sees how Mother spoils you so
She hears the disrespect in your “No!”

Brother, I beseech you,
Listen to your older sister!
Through screams, anger, and neglect
She wants only to teach and protect

Brother, I beseech you,
Listen to your older sister!
See the frustration you bring to her eyes
When she knows you’re telling one of your lies

Brother, I beseech you,
Listen to your older sister!
She sees you failing in your life pursuit
And worries, because she almost did too

Brother, I beseech you,
Listen to your older sister!
She knows what life this generation brings
She’s walked it, suffered it, and knows how it stings

Brother, I beseech you,
Listen to your older sister!
She knows she’s hard on you sometimes
But she’s only trying to show you the sweetness of limes.
