[Nas]Uh, If I can teach somethin' so dearAnd hope somebody learn somethin' from itAnd give it backThey can't break me or shake meThey too fake to come kill meThink they faith this was satanThey mistake me I'm filthyRich off the ghetto madness, so now they wanna dare meIt's gonna be a murder confront me, the burners are emptyMiddle Passage I made itI'm from the land of DavidThe Nazarene of Bethlehem they had me wrapped in blanketsThat bunch of backward gangstersThat sign of Alpha DavisSnitches with smile-like faces got you blowin' trial I hear thisHopin' my child can see through this tryna be a good daddyI was there when she was born and she'll be there when I'm buriedKind o' waitin' is scaryAll my years have prepared meWhat I fear is my temper, I subject to the centerRight through a man's soulStraight through his eyes, straight through his heartI'm still alive how did I make it this far'Cause I been high I been low, searchin' for a way to goEvery single night I prayAnd Lord I'm on this battleground, lost just waitin' to be foundI guess it's just a warrior's way[Chorus: Alicia Keys]This is the song, of my warriors (A warrior song)Bravehearted and strong, definition of a warrior (Definition of a warrior)Gonna keep punchin' on, to the sound of her own beatin' drum[Nas]Like King Nasir fightin' the British regimeI can't cope my existence is hope for younger teens who lost in their worldEarlier this year I buried my queen in a gold casketYour mother's the closest thing to God that you ever have kidI'm askin, what would you do at your own mom's funeralWanna pick her up out of it, this can't be realTellin' my daughter grandma's gone, but I can't keep stillI can't go on, responsible for so manyHer last days at the hospitalVisits from family I'm tryin' not to bust shots at niggasWishin' death on other nigga's mothers ain't right but why mommyShe raised me in the projects aloneHer untimely exit from her, heavenly bodyGot me ready to embody somethin' quicklyCan't be happy, fuck a party she can't party with meSo your apologies are burnin' ya own soulsTo the kids with no parents at home, grab a whole[Chorus: Alicia Keys]This is the song, of my warriors (A warrior song)Bravehearted and strong, definition of a warrior (Uh, warriors)Gonna keep punchin' on, to the sound of her own beatin' drum[Nas]Fight 'til the fight is over, for my peoples I die seeWhen you thought they were soldiers they turned out to be nobodiesI think they out to get me, helpless was livin' sinfulIf you was me all this pain I'm feelin would bend and killed you (I'm aWarrior)It only made me strongerBut in my head it gets darker who wishin' evil on yaSometimes I wish I was deadBut I took heed to the cause (I'm a Warrior, yeah)'Cause I been high I been low, searchin' for a way to goEvery single night I prayAnd Lord I'm on this battleground, lost just waitin' to be foundI guess it's just a warrior's way[Chorus Until End: Alicia Keys]This is the song, of my warriors (A warrior song)Bravehearted and strong, definition of a warrior (Definition of a warrior)Gonna keep punchin' on, to the sound of her own beatin' drum[Nas]To my warriorsTo all these, babyKrucialkeys!
