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
