[Hook: Lil Pat]
Man I've been going through hard times
But I know that I'll make it through this
Hit a rough patch in my life
But I know that I'll make it through this
Man I've been going through some things
But I know that I'll make it through this
Hit a rough patch in my life
But I know that I'll make it through this
With the heart of a warrior
[Verse 1: Lil Pat]
Uh, never was really buff, but I always stayed tough
You have to when you have no one to look up, to
My dad? That man was never there
I don't even have pictures with him, now tell me how that's fair?
But life ain't either, so I ain't tripping
I'll never talk to him again and you can not tell me different
Every birthday, thanksgiving, and christmas, you were just missing
You failed your duties as a dad, and in turn failed your children
At my brother's funeral, you weren't even glad to see him
My momma cried tears of joy, cause he finally got his freedom
After being stuck in that body for so long
Going through so much pain, God finally called him home
On a throne he sits, happy, healthy, and cured
Can't wait 'til I can see you bro it'll probably bring me tears
It's still hard to accept, even after 11 years
No matter how hard I wish and hope, you'll never be here
Man
[Hook: Lil Pat]
Man I've been going through hard times
But I know that I'll make it through this
Hit a rough patch in my life
But I know that I'll make it through this
Man I've been going through some things
But I know that I'll make it through this
Hit a rough patch in my life
But I know that I'll make it through this
With the heart of a warrior
[Verse 2: Lil Pat]
When '03 came around, my world was shutting down
Doc told us in weeks, my papa would be in the ground
Man, what kind of time is that? It's like he's playing "Time Attack"
Just wish they would've caught it quicker and had more time to react
In 3 weeks time, an angel came and picked him up
That ain't fair, why did Heaven have to strip him from us?
Giving up is what I feel like, going home without my Grandpa didn't feel right
But that's life
In '09 the mourning stopped, I'm feeling good living life headed to the top
Yeah, man I'm just grinding and dreaming
Thinking everything's fine, I got caught by a demon
Cancer entered my body, and then it started just feasting
Getting sicker and sicker as I, begin to weaken
My momma rushed me to the hospital, desperate for some treatment
I found savior in a pill called Gleevec, and now I live
What a life right?
[Hook: Lil Pat]
Man I've been going through hard times
But I know that I'll make it through this
Hit a rough patch in my life
But I know that I'll make it through this
Man I've been going through some things
But I know that I'll make it through this
Hit a rough patch in my life
But I know that I'll make it through this
With the heart of a warrior
