Warrior Song - Nas feat 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 is with 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 wrapped me in blankets
The bunch of backward gangsters
That sign of Alpha Davis
Snitches with smile-like faces, got you blowin' trial, I hate this
Hopin' my child can see through this tryin' to be a good daddy
I was there when she was born and she'll be there when I'm buried
Kind of waitin' of 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 stil
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
[Chorus - Alicia Keys]:
This is the song, of my warriors
A warrior song....Bravehearted and strong
Definition of a warrior (defenition of a warrior)
Gonna keep marchin' on, to the sound of her own beatin' drum
[Verse 2]:
Like Kind 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 closet 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 n_ggas
Wishin' death on other n_gga'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, f_ck 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
[Chorus]
[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
Somestimes 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
[Chorus x3]
[Nas]:
To all my warriors
To all these, baby, crucial kings
Braveheart, ya'll
This is to all my warriors, who breathe with the heart of a lion
To everybody that lost they mother, they 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, you know, keep marchin'
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you never give up
To all my warriors...
Braveheart, braveheart
