They say, why you still unmarried, sister?
Don't you wanna know the bliss of being a mother?
I know a nice brother that will suit ya
Just give me the permission and I'll introduce ya!
Yet, these sister do not try to understand me
They rather just judge me
Labelling me as a feminist
Tellin' me, that my fitrah I should not resist
Sister, I ain't looking for any type of brother
I need a man whose a best friend and not just a lover
Sister, I ain't lookin' for another Ja Rule
But someone who lives only by God's rule
Sister, I need someone to honour and defend me
Not bribe me with Gucci, D&G or Fendi
I need someone deeply pleased with God's decree
Not bragging to me about his status, salary or Master's degree
Someone who understands that his woman's strength
Does not challenge him, but only adds to his success
Sister, I'll tell you the kinda man I need
A man to nurture me both spiritually and intellectually
Sister, I do not judge a man based on his fly ride
But the extent to which he worries what will happen to him when he dies
Sister, I need a warrior for goodness
Someone giving his all to stop this world's madness
Sister, I am looking for a dignified brother
Who will honour and cherish his descendants' mother
Sister, if you really wanna help me
Then try to see things from my perspective
Sister, I am not a feminist I do not have the need to be
See, if I'm still single, it is only due to God's decree
