For those of you that have not seen any of my previous LOs about Violet. Violet was diagnosed with brain cancer last November and still is battling the monster. The title comes from a saying we have, “Fight Like a Girl”. We all had T-shirts made with this phrase. I scanned my “Fight like a Girl” t-Shirt and made a rub with the pink title. Last week, I heard this song, I had never heard the song, “Fight Like Girl” by Bomshel. So, I had to include the lyrics in the background. I started with a white piece of paper. I masked, overlapped with paint, stamped, rubbed and used the printer to print the lyrics in the back ground. I distressed the photo and outlined Violet's image with white paint. Added a couple rub-ons and ended up with something I liked-for once!
Here are the Lyrics:

Fight Like A Girl Lyrics
Little girl alone on the playground
Tired of gettin' teased and gettin' pushed around
Wishin' she was invisible
To them

She ran home cryin'
"Why do they hate me?"
And Mama wiped the tears and said
"Baby, you're brave and you're beautiful.
So, hold your head high.
Don't ever let 'em define
The light in your eyes.
Love yourself, give them Hell.
You can take on this world.
You just stand and be strong
And then fight
Like a girl."

At 31 she was wheelin' and dealin'
Kept on hittin' that same glass ceilin'
She was never gonna one of the boys, no
She coulda gave up on her ambition
And spent the rest of her life just wishin'
Instead she listened to her mama's voice sayin'

"Hold your head high.
Don't ever let 'em define
The light in your eyes.
Love yourself, give them Hell.
You can take on this world.
You just stand and be strong
And then fight
Like a girl."

Oh, with style and grace
Kick ass and take names

Ten years of climbin' that ladder
Oh, but money and power don't matter
When the doctor said "the cancer spread"
She holds on tight to her husband and babies
And says "this is just another test God gave me.
And I know just how to handle this"

I'll hold my head high
I'll never let this define
The light in my eyes
Love myself, give it Hell
I'll take on this world
If I stand and be strong
No, I'll never give up
I will conquer with love
And I'll fight like
Like a girl

Ooh
