[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
|
