Warriors - Lyfe Jennings

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
