Remission Lyrics - Lupe Fiasco

If I had a dollar, for every time they counting me out 

And my back was up against the wall 

I could have died but I came out fighting, fighting 

I could have died but I came out fighting 

I could have died but I came out fighting 

I could have died but I came out fighting, fighting 

With a breast full of lungs, man she ain't no punch 

Said he gonna ride on it like a chopper in a trunk 

Pink ribbon woman, she gone live forever 

Even though the doctor said she only get a month 

Said "It's my life, and you only get in once" 

These flowers smell too . to be living in a . 

So I finna get it in, and I finna get it crunk 

And I finna get to living, ey-ey-ey-eyes on remission from the junk 

Breast cancer can't hold me back 

That's the answer when they told me that 

It can knock me down, but I'm gon' 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

Fighter, with everything inside her 

Reporting live from Death Row, drop the charges see you life uh 

Cellphones and your lighters, need you to put 'em up higher 

So many candles on her birthday cake, might set the thing on fire 

If I had a dollar, for every time they counting me out 

And my back was up against the wall 

I could have died but I came out fighting, fighting 

fighting 

My daddy say he got it in his prostate 

When I went to see him, he had lost weight 

Trying to find the words in a lost state, of mind 

Pictures on the wall that remind 

Me of the times that we once had 

Had to take my daughter to see granddad 

Pop, pop, nothing's impossible, you never been logical 

I know what doctor's do, I know what God can do 

Abdominal pain, hard to explain 

For you to get better, it starts in your brain 

Life ain't a game, the fight it remains, dance in the rain 

When it first came, I was like damn 

Then I start thinkin', then I start praying 

Spirits went up, count went down 

You gon' live forever, how you living now

Fighter, definition of a rider 

Got all that ishh about you, with what you got inside ya 

Cellphones and your lighters, put them things up higher 

Even when you tired, you keep me inspired 

If I had a dollar, for every time they counting me out 

And my back was up against the wall 

I could have died but I came out fighting, fighting 

I could have died but I came out fighting 

I could have died but I came out fighting 

I could have died but I came out fighting, fighting 

Went undiagnosed and untreated 

When they finally found it, told me 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 my hearts beats and my wife witness 

So fuck cancer, my life with me, and if I die, it die with me 

Fighter, with everything inside her 

Reporting live from Death Row, drop the charges see you life uh 

Cellphones and your lighters, need you to put 'em up higher 

So many candles on her birthday cake, might set the thing on fire yeah 

We must set that thing on fire yeah 

Set that thing 

Set that thing 

Yeah we must set thing on fire 

Set that thing on fire 

If I had a dollar, for every time they counting me out 

And my back was up against the wall 

I could have died but I came out fighting, fighting (come out fighting) 

I could have died but I came out fighting 

I could have died but I came out fighting 

I could have died but I came out fighting
