Lyric Warrior Song
ft. Alicia Keys
[Nas]
Uh, If I can teach somethin so dear
And hope somebody learn somethin from it
And give it back
[Verse 1]
They can t break me or shake me
They too fake to come kill me
Think they faith this was satan
They mistake me I m filthy
Rich off the ghetto madness, so now they wanna dare me
It s gonna be a murder confront me, the burners are empty
Middle Passage I made it I m from the land of David
The Nazarene of Bethlehem they had me wrapped in blankets
That bunch of backward gangsters
That sign of Alpha Davis
Snitches with smile-like faces got you blowin trial I hear this
Hopin my child can see through this tryna be a good daddy
I was there when she was born and she ll be there when I m buried
Kind o waitin is scary
All my years have prepared me
What I fear is my temper, I subject to the center
Right through a man s soul
Straight through his eyes, straight through his heart I m still alive how did I make it this far
Cause I been high I been low, searchin for a way to go
Every single night I pray
And Lord I m on this battleground, lost just waitin to be found
I guess it s just a warrior s way
[Hook 1: 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
[Verse 2]
Like King Nasir fightin the
British regime I can t cope my existence is hope for younger teens who lost in their world
Earlier this year I buried my queen in a gold casket
Your mother s the closest thing to
God that you ever have kid I m askin, what would you do at your own mom s funeral
Wanna pick her up out of it, this can t be real
Tellin my daughter grandma s gone, but
I can t keep still I can t go on, responsible for so many
Her last days at the hospital
Visits from family I m tryin not to bust shots at niggas
Wishin death on other nigga s mothers ain t right but why mommy
She raised me in the projects alone
Her untimely exit from her, heavenly body
Got me ready to embody somethin quickly
Can t be happy, fuck a party she can t party with me
So your apologies are burnin ya own souls
To the kids with no parents at home, grab a whole
[Hook 2: 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
[Verse 3]
Fight til the fight is over, for my peoples I die see
When you thought they were soldiers they turned out to be nobodies
I think they out to get me, helpless was livin sinful If you was me
all this pain I m feelin would bend and killed you
(I m a Warrior)
It only made me stronger
But in my head it gets darker who wishin evil on ya
Sometimes I wish I was dead
But I took heed to the cause
(I m a Warrior, yeah)
Cause I been high I been low, searchin for a way to go
Every single night I pray
And Lord I m on this battleground, lost just waitin to be found I guess it s just a warrior s way
[Hook x3 (1) Until End: Alicia Keys]
[Nas(Spoken)]
To my warriors
To all these, baby Krucial
Keys! Braveheart y all
This to all my warriors, who breathe with the heart of a lion
To everybody that lost their mother, their father
Rest in peace moms!
My mother s last words:
Never give up
A true warrior, who raised me in the hood, in a war
Love ya girl, y kno keep marchin
Yea yea yea, you never give up
To all my warriors, haha
Braveheart, Braveheart
