Warriors

Now I was raised in the projects with no running water
Never really knew my father
Sister was a dancer,
Granddad died of cancer,
Momma was a gambler （uh huh）
Ran with the pimps and the hustlers,
Praying the police don't murder us
Never met the president but I met some Mexicans
（who fly that kush like the pelicans）
Lord I know we won't live forever

Keep my homies together
And if we die before our time （has come）
Tell em' it was glorious

We were warriors, warriors
Now I was born in the seventies when n****as still fist fought

Wasn't no such thing as Tupac
Daddy was a rolling stone,
Momma was a cordless phone,
None of them was ever home （uh uh）
Grandma died when I was twenty-three
In her last days she said to me
Something about fisherman but I wasn't listening
Didn't know it was the last time we'd ever speak again
Lord I know we won't live forever
Keep my homies together

And if we die before our time （has come）
Tell em' it was glorious
We were warriors, warriors

I call my momma up yesterday
Told her I got found guilty
Don't cry for me

And tell my baby momma hey
I got ten years in the pen
Don't know when I'm coming home again

But it'll be ok... maybe
Lord I know we won't live forever
Keep my homies together

And if we die before our time （has come）
Tell em' it was glorious
We were warriors, warriors

And if we die before our time （has come）
Tell em' it was glorious
We were warriors, warriors
