Warriors

[Verse 1:] 
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) 

[Chorus:] 
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 

[Verse 2:] 
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 

[Chorus:] 
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 

[Bridge:] 
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 

[Chorus:] 
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 

[Guitar Break] 

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