Remarks:
I thought I already did this one. It went to #18 on the American R&B charts in 2001. Produced by Raphael Saadiq, a favourite of mine. Questlove on drums.
Lyrics:
Verse 1
It’s all in her eyes
you and me
Words just disguise
all the things that you be
What is deep
it’s deeper than deep
So only it knows
this kind of vibe
gets stronger in time
Won’t go on unnoticed
So concrete can’t hold this
Hearts filled righteously
Whatever it is
I know that it’s real
Long as you know
No complaints
you’re all that I feel
CHORUS
Si-sta-soul
(You must be my soulsista, soulsista)
Si-sta-soul
(Hey sis, you must be my soulsista, soulsista)
Si-sta-soul
(Hey sis, you must be my soulsistaaa)
Si-sta-soul
Verse 2
You are so fine
(Like spaces that fall in my soul)
See baby that has no rhyme
Do you like how it feels
when I smoke you out
head down to your toes
Making you scream and shout
You must be my soulsista, soulsista
CHORUS
Si-sta-soul X6
Music…
(Hey baby can I talk to ya)
Can I love you in the right way (Way)
(PLEASE)
Soul
(HOLD)
Baby I want to
(LOVE)
You know baby I want to
(LOVE)
In the right way
(HOLD)
Cause you’re my
(SOUL)
Sista, baby you are
(MY)
All I wanna do is
(LOVE)
Fade out
Steamy.
Man! I used to love, love this song!!!
YES! love it.

Top 10 song for all “Sista Lovers” on this planet…No Doubt! I’m a big fan of Bilal, the brotha is the truth. He loves black people, blackwomen, and he can sang with the best of them. The bad thing, is that, sistas don’t support brothas like him in the biz as much as they should. This generation of sistas are into rappers who are the exact opposite of Bilal…Tighten Up Cleopatra…Isis…Sheba…Nubia

Nearly missed this…don’t know this song, but I like it. A lot.
Thanks Abagond. I also like that the video is in black and white, slow and sweet.
There’s a feel in the sound that reminds me of this:
I’ve only now seen that this Bilal song was produced by Raphael Saadiq…
Abagond:
Soul Brotha #1 is back on the prowl, D’Angelo has finally come out of the bat cave after all these years. D is Bilal’s mentor, and has been for a long time. Abagond, another song you need to add to the list…Mahogany by Eric B. & Rakim. Hands down, one of the greatest odes to blackwomen in hip-hop history, Check it out?
