Warriors...
If you walk in the authority of Jesus man and your shoulders
are broad
Where are my warriors?
If you stand up under pressure like the Hebrew boys and your
soul is strong
Where are my warriors?
God fearers, gentlemen, generals get in your positions
man
Where are my warriors?
Men take courage don’t faint, don’t fall if you know the
Lord
Where my warriors
Verse 1
You know how the plot goes/ You can tell the difference when
the pops is in the household/
Most of us are not told/ Often when the pops home/ Leaves a
legacy, plant seeds then the crops grow/
I recall my pops quotes/ When I was a snot nose/ A man with
no control is like a city that’s with out walls/
I could still hear his teachings ringing through the house
halls/ When its not profitable how to keep my
mouth closed/ Getting over obstacles/ Dodging all my pot
holes/ He taught me etiquette and ethics out of
God’s laws/ Turned me on to Oswald Chambers/ Now my eyes
closed/ Praying that I would find of wife that
would make my house home/ YEA- Now I’m proud to say I’m
faithful/ If it wasn’t for those spankings/
Then I’d probably pop pain pills/ Now I’m off of
training wheels/ Since I had a father that/ Taught me God
the Father’s heart/ I’m equipped to train and build

Verse 2
Say- man we need role models/ Got a lot of teachers but/ Man
we need more fathers/ Talking about
spiritual/ Teach us how to be mature/ But If they abandon
us/ How we goin’ go farther/ Tell me who we
goin’ follow?/ We goin’ get our core values/ From the
dudes rapping on the screens of our floor models/ And
you don’t wanna leave it up to rappers/ Who pretend to be
trap stars/ bonified whoremongers/ Hold up
more problems/ Men won’t step one fit in/ To the local
church cause it caters to a woman’s bent/ And it’s
full of feminine/ Man (man) where we’re pushing them/ Far
away from Christ into the arms of the Muslim
men!/ Cause men don’t need to print we need strength/
Christ is not a hippie picking lilies with his friends/
Jesus was a man’s man/ So men followed Him/ Doing God the
Father’s will/ Saying Father I will send

Verse 3
Listen I am not a chauvinist/ But a godly man is a stickler
for Holiness/ Him and Christ look alike/ Sort of
like the Olsen twins/ And He practices what he preaches from
the Holy script/ But a natural man/ They
don’t even know he’s sick/ He thinks it’s natural man/
They treat him he don’t exist/ He’s enticed by every
woman that blows a kiss/ Sin makes a godly man well like
Moby Dick/ A godly man’s content when he’s in
the church/ A natural man chases whatever’s in a mini
skirt/ Or in a dress like the Gettysburg/ He’s
monogamist even if it really hurts/ like giving birth/ But
that’s the cause and effect/ Which really goes to
show you how the cross can effect/ New man, new clothes in
the drawers of our dressers/ Man we at war
with our swords and our vest up!
