Jennifer Hudson:

f 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

I could have died but I came out fighting

Lupe Fiasco:

With a breast full of lumps, man she ain't no punk

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 onle get in once"

These flowers smell too damn good to be living in the funk

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

Lupe Fiasco:

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

Common:

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

Common:

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

Lupe Fiasco:

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
