Nas - Warrior Song lyrics

[nas]<br>Uh, if I can teach somethin' so dear<br>And hope somebody learn somethin' from it<br>And give it back<br><br>They can't break me or shake me<br>They too fake to come kill me<br>Think they faith this was satan<br>They mistake me I'm filthy<br>Rich off the ghetto madness, so now they wanna dare me<br>It's gonna be a murder confront me, the burners are empty<br>Middle passage I made it<br>I'm from the land of david<br>The nazarene of bethlehem they had me wrapped in blankets<br>That bunch of backward gangsters<br>That sign of alpha davis<br>Snitches with smile-like faces got you blowin' trial I hear this<br>Hopin' my child can see through this tryna be a good daddy<br>I was there when she was born and she'll be there when I'm buried<br>Kind o' waitin' is scary<br>All my years have prepared me<br>What I fear is my temper, I subject to the center<br>Right through a man's soul<br>Straight through his eyes, straight through his heart<br>I'm still alive how did I make it this far<br>'cause I been high I been low, searchin' for a way to go<br>Every single night I pray<br>And lord I'm on this battleground, lost just waitin' to be found<br>I guess it's just a warrior's way<br><br>[chorus: alicia keys]<br>This is the song, of my warriors (a warrior song)<br>Bravehearted and strong, definition of a warrior (definition of a warrior)<br>Gonna keep punchin' on, to the sound of her own beatin' drum<br><br>[nas]<br>Like king nasir fightin' the british regime<br>I can't cope my existence is hope for younger teens who lost in their world<br>Earlier this year I buried my queen in a gold casket<br>Your mother's the closest thing to God that you ever have kid<br>I'm askin, what would you do at your own mom's funeral<br>Wanna pick her up out of it, this can't be real<br>Tellin' my daughter grandma's gone, but I can't keep still<br>I can't go on, responsible for so many<br>Her last days at the hospital<br>Visits from family I'm tryin' not to bust shots at niggas
