| My wife’s best friend Wendy, always been the life of the party
|
| She come to chill with my girl at our crib
|
| All three of us drinking from the night to the morning
|
| Her personality is one of a kind, so funny
|
| Make you laugh til you cry from a story
|
| I haven’t seen her in a while then my wife came downstairs
|
| Crying saying «Wendy just called me»
|
| Told me that she thought she had something wrong with her
|
| For a long time, finally went and saw a doctor
|
| They did an ultrasound, found cancer in her thyroid
|
| That was rare and uncommon
|
| Started crying harder, I was try’na calm her
|
| She’s the last person that I thought would ever get sick
|
| She’s a mom to Sebastian, Mia, and Karma
|
| Hard enough alone, even worse with three kids
|
| Lost a nine to five and the house where she lived
|
| All her belongings that she used to own are gone
|
| Stolen when her mom let her move into her home
|
| Now they gotta go remove a tumor from her throat
|
| Let you know that what you’re going through could be worse
|
| Such a strong person, I could never be her
|
| Hoping all the chemo and the surgeries work
|
| The redness on her neck is from the third degree burns
|
| Hurting, try’na turn her head, losing weight, losing hair
|
| Hard to understand her, can’t swallow, can’t talk
|
| Can’t drink water, nurse told her just nod
|
| Choking on the burnt skin, got her coughing up blood
|
| Got a feeding tube feeding through her stomach
|
| Cause she does it when the meds
|
| Ain’t working 'cause the chemo got her sick
|
| She could catch a virus easy on the treatment
|
| The doctor says she’s not allowed to be around her kids
|
| Gotta smoke a cigarette saying she don’t wanna live
|
| But she done come to grips with it coming to an end
|
| She ain’t understand at the time
|
| That she had the will inside to survive, dying wasn’t in the plan
|
| And she talk about her family and her friends
|
| And her kids, what she been through
|
| For them, she would do it all again
|
| There are people that survived, but there’s some that never did
|
| I’m just happy that she’s in the situation that she’s in
|
| She’s alive
|
| They said my time was ticking, I was blown away
|
| Tomorrow isn’t promised, I can go today
|
| They told me I was sick inside but I’m okay
|
| Cause when I beat it and survive then I’ma say
|
| Fuck cancer
|
| If I go to bed and die before I wake
|
| I’ma beg and pray the lord my soul to take
|
| 'Cause I ain’t rolling over, I got total faith
|
| I’ma win the battle, when I do then I’ma say
|
| Fuck cancer
|
| One of my best friends in the whole world felt a lump in his armpit
|
| It was small so he thought it was a bruise
|
| When he saw it getting larger, it started to alarm him
|
| Tried to put it off for as long as he could
|
| But he knew pretty soon that he’s gotta see a doctor
|
| When he did, they just said it was an ingrown hair
|
| Don’t be scared, 'cause it’s probably not a problem
|
| But he still want to get a second opinion so they sent him
|
| To a place they recommended so that he could see a specialist
|
| When they started to examine it, they said
|
| «I hate to say it, I’m afraid that the lump is something cancerous»
|
| Set him up for surgery
|
| They removed the lump, he was try’na not to sweat it
|
| Wondering what the result says
|
| Waited three long days til he finally got to talk to the doctor
|
| He told him he had Hodgkin’s, third-degree cancer
|
| That’s a lot to process
|
| When he told me, I was thinking anybody not him
|
| He the type of guy that light a room up when he walk in
|
| He just tied the knot, he’s a newly wed, a husband
|
| Thought of all the moments in his past, all the time spent
|
| Doing drugs, chasing money, suddenly was nonsense
|
| Told the lord above him he was done with that, I promise
|
| Dying ain’t an option, there’s too much to accomplish
|
| His father right beside him, caught a flight from Puerto Rico
|
| Sweating out the chemicals inside him from the chemo
|
| His wife was like his rock when he need someone to lean on
|
| And when he’s weak, she be motivating him to keep going
|
| Didn’t want no pity, only told so many people
|
| Even shot a documentary when he was sick, so
|
| He could reach the people in the same position
|
| Maybe get some optimism
|
| That it’s possible to beat it and achieve gold
|
| He’s determined he gon' live to see another year
|
| Turned his fear into anger
|
| The anger that’s inside of him provided him with strength
|
| Now his vision’s clear
|
| Even when they told him he was sick, he never shed a tear
|
| Til the day they called him up and told him he was cancer-free
|
| I could see his mom up in heaven smiling now
|
| Barely recognize him cause he lost a hundred pounds
|
| Muscle bound, running miles, went and turned his life around
|
| He’s alive
|
| They said my time was ticking, I was blown away
|
| Tomorrow isn’t promised, I can go today
|
| They told me I was sick inside but I’m okay
|
| Cause when I beat it, I’ll survive and I’ma say
|
| Fuck cancer
|
| If I go to bed before I die before I wake
|
| I’ma beg and pray the lord my soul to take
|
| 'Cause I ain’t rolling over, I can total fate
|
| I’ma win the battle, when I do then I’ma say
|
| Fuck cancer |
