[Nas]   Uh, If I can teach somethin' so be it   And hope somebody learn somethin' from it (teacher!)   And give it back      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 see clear to the center   Right through a man's soul   Straight through his eyes, straight to 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      [Chorus: Alicia Keys]   This is the song, of my warriors, A warrior song, my lord   Bravehearted and strong, definition of a warrior (Definition of a warrior)   Gonna keep marchin' on, to the sound of our own beatin' drum      [Nas]   Like King Nasir fightin' the British regime   I can't cope my existence is hope for younger teens who lost and they broke   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 hold   [Chorus: Alicia Keys]   This is the song, of my warriors ,A warrior song, my lord   Bravehearted and strong, definition of a warrior (Uh, warriors)   Gonna keep marchin' on, to the sound of our own beatin' drum      [Nas]   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      [Chorus Until End: Alicia Keys]   This is the song, of my warriors ,A warrior song, my lord   Bravehearted and strong, definition of a warrior (Definition of a warrior)   Gonna keep marchin' on, to the sound of our own beatin' drum      [Nas]   To my warriors   To all these, baby   KrucialKeys! Braveheart y'all   definition of a warrior ( with alicia )   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 ha ha   Braveheart, Braveheart   Definition of a warrior
