Alicia Keys - Warrior Song lyrics

[Verse 1] Uh, if I can teach somethin' so be it And hope somebody learn somethin' from it And give it back They can't break me or shake me They too fake to come k** me Think they faith is with Satan They mistake me I'm filthy Rich off the ghetto medleys, so now they wanna dare me It's gonna be a murder confront me, the burners are empty Middle Pa**age I made it I'm from the land of David The Nazarene of Bethlehem they had me wrapped in blankets Ya bunch of backward gangsters Y'all signin affidavits Snitches with smiling faces, got you blowin trial, I hate 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 of weird and it's 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 [Hook: Alicia Keys] This is a song, for my warriors (A warrior song) Bravehearted and strong, definition of a warrior (Definition of a warrior) Gonna keep marchin on, to the sound of my own beatin drum [Verse 2] 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 n***as Wishin' d**h on other n***a'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 body somethin' quickly Can't be happy, f** 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 [Hook] [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 k**ed 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 [Hook] [Outro] To my warriors To all these, baby KrucialKeys! Braveheart y'all 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, haha Braveheart, Braveheart Definition of a warrior
