Letra da Música Mission de Lupe Fiasco

Charlie Wilson
What's up, this is Charlie Wilson
a. k. a. your uncle Charlie
I was diagnosed with prostate cancer
in 2008. Still fighting; not a winner, not a loser
I'm gonna win the battle. That's right, cancer free

Greg
What's up, this is Greg
and I beat kidney cancer. True story

Michael
My names Michael, I'm a lung cancer survivor
four years in remission

Bernadette
My names Bernadette
and I beat stage 1 breast cancer

Angela
I'm Angela, I'm 50 years old
and I've been through 9 surgeries in 3 years
Fuck you cancer
You may have taken my breasts and uterus
but you can never take my heart

Ann
My names Ann Marie
and I'm living with stage 4 lung cancer

Kourtney: My names Kourtney and I beat thyroid cancer
(Bunch of mashed up talking about beating cancer)

Kathy
This is Kathy Phillips
and I beat the living shit out of breast cancer
Cancer definitely picked the wrong bitch to mess with
Fuck you cancer! I'm a survivor baby!

Charles
Hey my name is Charles Porter
and I had stage 4 Hodgkin's lymphoma
I went through a year of strenuous chemo
then I had a bone marrow transplant
where they gave me salvage chemo
and 5 days twice a day, full body radiation
to basically bring my immune system down to nothing
I literally died to stay alive umm... c
ome April I'll be in my 3rd year remission
and it was a team effort
All the friends and family I had came together
And uhh I had to keep that mental strong, but umm
We got through it uhh
some fallen soldiers went as I fought uhh
but they'll always be heroes
Peace!

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, fighting

Yeah, 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
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 many candles on her birthday cake
Might set that thing on fire, hey

Yeah, seven years old with stage four
This what champions were made for
Only so much fun raises pain 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
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

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 my 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

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 for every time they counted me out
And my back was up against the wall
I could have died but I came out fighting
Could have died but I came out fighting
