[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 N****as 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
