champion
Some people have to learn
Some people wait their turn
Some people have to fight, yeah
Some people give their life, oh (Yeah)
They wanna hold you back, tell 'em pee off
Whenever they say you can't, take the T off
I remember when they told me I wouldn't be famous
Now my dream and reality's simultaneous
And work your own way to the top
If they put you on a pedestal, they can take you off
And there's a higher level than the top
You gotta make more, don't make do with what you got
Yeah, so and get it in, sonny
Not everybody gets a second chance at gettin' money (Money)
Or even gettin' lucky
So you gotta feel the hunger in your tummy
I'm always pushing myself to the limit, making sure I stay ahead (That's right)
You made me who I am, from the words you said (Yeah)
Some people have to learn (Aha, yeah)
Some people wait their turn (Aha, uh)
Some people but not me, yeah, oh
I was born a champion (That's right)
Some people have to fight (Aha)
Some people give their life (Aha)
Some people don't believe, whoa-oh
But I was born a champion (Yeah)
But I was born a champion (Yeah, yeah)
But I was born a champion
Uh, this gon' be the realest shit I ever wrote
Off the records, no cameras, forget a quote
Some of my family doin' good, most doin' dope
I'm from Virginia where they hang them niggas by a rope
I used to see my momma gettin' beat down
Is that the real definition of me now?
I fell off, back on my feet now
Headed to the sky, can't even see down
Award shows, I pour my heart out
And people still steady tryna point my flaws out
And I'd be lyin' if I say it ain't get to me
But I'm a champion, legend, history
I'm always pushing myself to the limit, making sure I stay ahead (That's right)
You made me who I am, from the words you said (Yeah)
Some people have to learn (Aha, yeah)
Some people wait their turn (Aha, uh)
Some people but not me, yeah, oh
I was born a champion (That's right)
Some people have to fight (Aha)
Some people give their life (Aha)
Some people don't believe, whoa-oh
But I was born a champion (Yeah)
But I was born a champion (Yeah, yeah)
But I was born a champion
Okay, no one wants to help, I guess you're on your own
Build a foundation with the bricks they throw
In a black and white world, true colours show
Change if you want, everybody grows
And life's like an eel, but try and get a hold
Opinions ain't facts, take 'em in and let 'em go (That's right)
You made me who I am, from the words you said (Yeah)
Some people have to learn (Aha, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, yeah)
Some people wait their turn (Aha, uh)
Some people but not me, yeah, oh
I was born a champion (Champion, ooh, that's right)
Some people have to fight (Aha, woo!)
Some people give their life (Aha)
Some people don't believe
But I was born a champion (I was, I was, yeah)
Some people have to learn (Aha)
Some people wait their turn (Aha)
Some people but not me, yeah, oh
I was born a champion
Some people have to fight (Aha)
Some people give their life (Aha, give their life)
Some people don't believe, whoa-oh
But I was born a champion
Champion (Yeah)
But I was born a champion, whoa-oh
Champion (Yeah)
But I was born a champion
