  • If I had a dollar for every time they counted me out
    And my back was up against the wall
    I could have died but I came out fighting, fighting
    Could have died but I came out fighting
    Could have died but I came out fighting
    Could have died but I came out fighting (yeah) fighting

    With a breast full of lungs she ain't no pun
    She gonna ride on it like a chopper in a trunk
    Pink ribbon women she gonna live forever
    Even though the doctor say she only get a month
    Said it's my life and you only get it once
    Once these flowers smell too damn good to be living in the funk
    So I finna' get it in and I finna' get a crunk and I finna' get the living (a-a-ah)
    On remission from the jump
    Breast cancer can't hold me back
    That's the answer when they told me that
    It can knock me down but I'm gonna be back
    Strong, down for whatever exceptional and I don't know how to quit
    And I never said never you can have that hair cause real talk bitch
    I think I look better let's do it (do it)

    Fighter, with everything inside ya
    Reportin' live from Death Row
    Drop the charges see the lifer
    Cell phones and your lighters
    Need you to put them up higher
    So when the candles on her birthday cake
    Might set the on fire, hey

    If I had a dollar for every time they counted me out
    And my back was up against the wall
    I could have died but I came out fighting, fighting
    Could have died but I came out fighting
    Could have died but I came out fighting
    Could have died but I came out fighting (Yeah) fight

    Seven years old with stage four
    This what champions were made for
    Only so much fun raises pay for
    So I guess the rest is all on me
    That will to live against what's out here
    Killin kids' well kiss my ass it ain't killin' me
    Got things to paint
    I got places to go
    I got things to see
    Wanna see my moma grow up
    Hold up, hold up
    Wanna see my daddy grow up
    Hold up, Hold up
    I'm bald headed and brave hearted, I'm small
    But I'm a hundred feet tall, try to stop me
    Biopsy after biopsy
    Chemo, but I'm a king though
    I shake everything off me
    Lymphoma can't hold me back
    It can knock me down but I'm gonna be back
    Throw some SpongeBob in my hot wheels track
    I'm a made man, made wishes
    I ain't scared, I ain't flinching
    Sorry momma but I gotta say it
    But where I'm from they don't make bitches, let's do it

    If I had a dollar for every time they counted me out
    And my back was up against the wall
    I could have died but I came out fighting, fighting
    Could have died but I came out fighting
    Could have died but I came out fighting
    Could have died but I came out fighting (feel it) fighting

    Went undiagnosed and untreated
    When they finally found it
    told 'em it too far along and he couldn't beat it
    But he couldn't see it
    Miss me with that dead talk
    Miss me my legs walk
    And m heart beats and my wife witness
    So fuck cancer! My life with me
    And if I died it'd die with me let's do it

    Fighter, with everything inside ya
    Reportin' live from Death Row
    Drop the charges be a lifer
    Cell phones and your lighters
    Need you to put them up higher
    So when the candles on her birthday cake
    Might set the thang fire, yeah

    We might set that thing on fire, yeah
    Yeah we might set that thing on fire, yeah
    Yeah we might set that thing on fire
    Set that thing on fire, set that thing on fire, yeah
    If I had a dollar (if I, if I, oh yeah)
    And my back was up against the wall
    (Back was up against the wall, back was up against the wall)
    I could have died but I came out fighting
    Could have died but I came out fighting
    Could have died but I came out fighting, fighting Writer/s: Kenneth Charles Coby, Tony E. Scales, Wasalu Muhammad Jaco
