Lyrics:
My sister, my sister, tell me what the trouble is
I'll try to listen good and give the best advice that I can give
so, what's up with you this time?
Your honey took a dive and now he's playin with your mind?
Oh no, this can not be accepted
The feelings that belong to you must be protected
Hold up, time out, I shout, get it together sister
Tell him to be nice or ditch the mister
It's a shame, the way you mess around with my heart
It's a shame, the way you, hurt me!
Get back on your feet please
I'm beggin you to check out all your own needs
Don't let nobody see you in a state of grievin, over the brother
there's another possibility
Which is for you to work out where you went wrong
I guarantee to you that it will not take long
For you to make your mind up if the two of you belong
You know where honey's head at, and where he's comin from
Get it out your system, don't be another victim
This took the nerve, oh boy, he really picked em, whaddya know
It's time for you to show you're not sleepin
A progress report on the two of you, you're keepin
Peekin through the peephole, to see if honey's sneakin
You estimated right, that night the other weekend
Collectively the facts should conclude the decision
You caught the brother in a terrible disposition
It's a shame, the way you mess around with my heart
It's a shame, the way you, hurt me!
That's it, pack it up, be wise my sister
cause the facts keep stackin up, tell him, to kiss the you know what
Make sure the door is shut, behind you
I do believe the brother's out of luck, and stuck
But that's not, your P-are-O-be -L-E-M
You gotta let him go and let him know this is the end
You've been kissed, dissed, listed as a dumb one
I hope he likes sad songs, he's gonna hum one
He's been a dumb dumb and that's the way it is forever
There comes a time, when you're at the end of your tether
and you know, I think you went FAR beyond that
So it was bound to backtrack
And smack you with an irksome vengeance as it attacks you
Makin sure you get the full entire view
of who's to blame, at the end, of the game
Things will never be the same
And it's a cryin shame
It's a shame, the way you mess around with my heart
It's a shame, the way you, hurt me!

88-90 was the sweet spot for hip house. Magical time I can only equal it to the late 60s must have been like when different music fused together to create a next sound.

[@coachgregtv1198]

@@darganx absolutely right, those years 88 thru 90 where very important in Hip Hop the sound was changing an Culminated after Ice Cube left NWA an went an worked with Hank Shocklee an the Bomb squad from Public Enemy, that’s what I call the, Merger, when West Coast an East Coast collaborated, after this the music style changed into what is 90’s Hop Hip, a lot of anti drug, anti Establishment type music, which is why at the end of the 90’s real Hip Hop got pulled off the radio an got replaced with the Bullshit you hear on there now.

[@cathycooper6135]

Yeah, it was all squidged in together and it was massive in Britain. White people as well as black. Best time for music.

When you grew up during the golden era hip hop and rnb (late 80s-mid 90s) songs like these are almost like breathing. I’m a 46 yr old middle aged white guy with two children. When I listen to classics like this, I’m transported almost to another world. Memories of great times and friends-Sports, music and girls/friendships was life back then as an adolescent.

An awesome hip hop jam back in 1991 by Monie Love titled It’s A Shame(My Sister) was her only top 40 pop hit peaking at number 26. That song samples a classic Motown hit from 1970 It’s A Shame by the Spinners with G.C. Cameron on lead and was co-written and produced by Stevie Wonder which was their biggest hit on Motown before moving to Atlantic and hooking up with Thom Bell as their producer and it hit number four R&B and number fourteen pop. Monie Love did an outstanding job on that song.
