Lyrics:

[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 Nas 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
