Warriors Lyrics - Lyfe Change - Lyfe Jennings

[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 niggas 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] 

[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] 

[Guitar Break] 

And if we die before our time (has come) 

Tell em' it was glorious 

We were warriors, warriors
