[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
